The food at Serendib has always been very nice. The only little thing they can work on is noticing clients coming in. I literally had to go wave the waiter that I want something the first time. But after he checked regularly. If you enjoy taking a drink or two after some food, they have happy hour. Should ask for... More

We didn't intend of going here for dinner, but it just happened...like a lot of things when traveling through Belize with a toddler! Food was delicious - encouraged to try the grilled fish and glad I did. The waiter was awesome - he even gave us a sample of one of their signature appetizers to try for free. Outdoor patio... More

I've eaten there twice now and both times I found it wanting. I wasn't going to go the second time but I was with friends that wanted to go there. Each time I ate only about half the food and was disappointed. The curry is served in a bowl as if it was on the side and although it's very... More

We visited Serendib after eating at Hannah's our first day. In comparison, Serendib was definitely the poorer choice. Again, we had curry...the portion was skimpy, we shared and went away still hungry. The curry wasn't fabulous, which surprised me...And I was dying for a coconut desert that is supposed to be their specialty, and they didn't have it. The restaurant... More

If you're tired of stew chicken, rice and beans, and beans and rice (I know it's almost imposible) then check out Serendib. We have visited Belize 3 times in so many years and the last two years have been to Cayo and this restaraunt. The food is great and again different from the rest of the food around Belize. The...

Very good food, the curry and flavored rice were excellent. The hot curry is very spicy. The staff was amazing. The prices are very reasonable. One of the best restaurant in San Ignacio.

A week ago, we had some visiting professors in town to give some free seminars. We wanted to treat them to a great meal, and they chose Serendib. Great choice, I must say. Serendib was bought a few months back by the family that runs the Aguada Hotel, which is known for it's food. Sidenote: the family used to run... More

Great food. Good sized portions. Wait staff was attentive but not overbearing. They had space for all of us. Patrons sitting outdoors had a beautiful view of the new welcome center.

Wasn't sure what to order when the waiter made a suggestion of some items on the menu I was unfamiliar with, turned out to be delicious! Was very happy with the service, and the rum punch!
