LUNCH BUFFET AT SERENDIB
Serendib is an Indian and Sri Lanakan restaurant in Jabi which offers authentic Indian, Sri Lankan and Asian cuisine. They host a Lunch buffet every Sunday and for International Women's day, I was invited to try out their Lunch buffet. They also offer a Breakfast Buffet.
So what do I think:
Before dining, the Head Chef went through each course and explained all the dishes to us. He also spoke about the kind of cuisine the restaurant offers.
For starters, I had chicken noodle soup, vegetable samosas, chicken pie and different kinds of bread. The soup was warm and really tasty. It had chunks of noodles, chicken and veggies. The bread which included Sri Lankan bread were mildly flavoured with the herbs and spices they were infused with. The samosas and pie were decent.
For mains, I tried a bit of everything. I had the chicken biryani, mashed potatoes, beef stew, steamed vegetables, chicken koththu roti, hot u0026 spicy chicken and monogolian beef noodles. The chicken biryani featured rich Indian spices and chunks of chicken which we liked. The mash needed some more butter and cream. The beef stew was a rich and hearty dish quite similar to Nigerian stew. The chicken koththu roti tasted exactly butter. It was light and melted in your mouth. Our favourite thing from the mains was the Monogolian beef noodles. The beef was perfectly seasoned, the noodles had a great texture and the veggies still had their crunch. The best part about this dish is you get to watch while it is being made. Swipe to see it being made!
For dessert, I had cheesecake, chocolate gateaux, custard, yoghurt, jelly and rainbow cake. The cheesecake and chocolate gateau were great and nicely sweet. The custard was infused with banana and had a mild sweetness. The yoghurt was slightly sour and light.
The buffet cost 5500 naira and drinks are not inclusive. Another good thing about the buffet here is that they offer vegetarian options of every single dish I tried.
