The best restaurant in the town of Ellsworth, the food here will provide your palette with an experience you’ve never known. Smoky, tangy, spicy, tantalizing. These are the flavors you will experience when eating at Serendib. Stimulating jazz music plays in the background and complements the dining experience well. Make sure to call in for reservations as they are quick to book.

I actually arrived and ordered to take out. I loved the casual atmosphere. I am vegan and gluten free. The gentleman there at the counter helped me with my selection. It was delicious!!! I am here on vacation, but I will go back when in the area again.

Walking into Serendib, I didn’t know what to expect. Maine — at least the places we’ve been around the state — seems to be a bit of an Indian/Himalayan food wasteland, and I’d never tried Sri Lankan, but I’m always up for a happy surprise. And that’s what I got!

Amazing food food and very authentic. Medium spicy is quite spicy for European standards, but just not too spicy. Just a little more ‘Indian’ style to the accommodation and it would feel completely of the grid

The service and the ambiance was good. For the starters, I have tried the samosas and unlike traditional samosas these came in a pastry wrap and I really liked them. But was disappointed with the entrees! I got the chana masala and it doesn’t have any salt and it was too spicy.

If you love Indian cuisine, try this place. Their chutneys and sauces are popping with flavor. Scratch that – exploding! As you might expect, loads of vegetarian options as well as some lamb and seafood options.

This is the BEST restaurant in Ellsworth, and probably in all of Maine! Fantastic food! So flavorful and delicious! I’m sad I have to go home b/c I’d eat here every day! Skip the lobster and bland food in Maine and go to Serendib!

Wonderful spot for vegan and gluten-free dining. All the staff is so friendly and accommodating, making me feel confident in what I’m ordering and knowing that if I have a dietary specification they will help. We went a number of times in the winter when it was take-out only and recently dined in for lunch. Delicious and unique food with similarities to typical Indian restaurants but more veggies and originality which I love. We ate with someone who couldn’t have garlic and they were able to omit which was amazing.

First and foremost this is not authentic Indian food, even to Maine standards. My rice was so buttered I had to keep downing water trying to get the coating out of my mouth. I couldn’t finish it even after two glasses. What I was served wasn’t worth half of what I paid for it. I never review anything but I was so disappointed.
