Visit this restaurant to dine at if you feel hungry after gazing at Angala Parameswari Temple. All the clients love the menu that offers great Mughlai cuisine at Serengeti. At this place, try good chicken tikka, biryani and fish.
Most guests point out that the waitstaff is terrific. If you want to experience cool service, you should go to this spot. Many people find that the dishes have democratic prices. You will appreciate the modern decor and pleasant ambiance of this restaurant. But a number of visitors who use Google didn't grant Serengeti a high rating.

“I have died every day(~Minute), waiting for you..” And you do die. A thousand deaths in wait.
The main course kept us waiting like Hrithik Roshan keeps us waiting for his next good movie.
I also wonder sometimes, isn’t there daytime in jungles? Then why in bloody hells do all the jungle decor restaurants keep the ambiance lit by the most powerless lights? And a lot of thought seems to have been put in the decor, but no effort to mainitain it any which way. You’ll witness a lot of fauna inside, but no one to bathe or take care of them. The ambiance needs a lift up very badly.
The service as I have mentioned in the first few lines is drastically degraded. I can probably answer why. See, there is this magical door which is an actual gateway to the kitchen of mediocrity and it opens only once every 15 minutes. In one opening only one table can be served. And for the gateway to open next, one has to wait for the next auspicious moment which should be 15 miunutes away, at least. Even the bill shall not pass through the gateway. Post-food-humous, an entire charade of servers walked by us, with not one of them carrying a bill for us. Now, as mentioned, we had to wait for the magical door to open. In short, the service was highly demotivated, shabby and in shreds.
Let’s hop on to the food, shall we? Starters contained Golden Fried Babycorn and Chicken Spring rolls (which mind you, arrived after 20 minutes only) and a supposedly hot paprika sauce. Both the dishes were uninspired and made for the sake of it. The chicken pieces were only invisbly present in an oil-dripping roll with tonnes of cabbage and even onion to bring about some essence of them being spring rolls. The wrapping of the roll screamed of being fried inconsistently with overly crispy edges and solemn middles. The oil was probably not at the deep frying temperature and thus the rolls came out all soggy.
The babycorn was hit even worse-ly by lack of inspiration or taste, than its non-vegetarian counterpart. Imagine a babycorn, dip it in plain gram flour(besan) batter, forget the salt, chilli powder and all the essential masalas, quick heat the THING you have with you and serve 20 minutes later. The word bland felt BLAND after comparison with the babycorn.
If I could have just one wish from a genie, I would just wish that no one goes there with boring company and waits for the main course. The service is the epidemic that causes extreme hunger in the world and then all sorts of crimes people do to fill their bellies.
For the main course we ordered Murgh Masala Lahori, the heavily recommended Dal Makhni, Paneer Butter Masala(Jain), Mirch Makai Hara Pyaz, Chilli Olive Naans and Butter Naans.
While most of the breads were alright; crispy edges, not too flour-y, spread even with the olives and chillies. But a couple had to be exchanged because of lack of butter in the so called butter naans. Also, I don’t know if Lahori people actually eat that much capsicum or Serengeti actually messed another dish up, but the Murgh Masala Lahori was an all capsicum rings’ gravy. And I actually suspected the chicken to be soya chaap, but it went away. The granularity of the gravy was paragon. No complaints there. And the oil too was not visibly excessive, another plus there.
The Paneer Butter Masala was ideal for Jains. And without adding onion, garlic or any other bred-below-ground veggies, this was a decent paneer dish with loads of paneer chunks.
Dal Makhni which cam heavily recommended, did NOT disappoint us. It was every bit the dal, a north Indian craves for. The consistency of the dal(not watery, not dead thick), the integrity with butter and the level of cooking that the dal achieved was commendable. I would like to recommend the dal if anyone dares going there.
The Mirch Makai Hara Pyaz was a dish not too complimentary with any of the two main dishes and it kind of yo-yoed between the two. The Paneer and the dal offered two very different flavors and the Makai did not gel along well with any of them, so it had to be eaten separately. But individually, not a bad dish. The green onion was visible and the corn aplenty. The flavor was bright and somewhere in the middle of the acidic spectrum.
In all, Serengeti might have been a place of delight a long time back. But today, it’s just a dead-tired shadow of its long forgotten might.
Fin.
