The moment you enter this place, you feel you are in a jungle amidst some waterfall and hear the chirping of birds and other animals.
Walk thru inside and you would find the waiters all dressed in the Shikari Shambu Style!
As we were comfortably seated at our table, the waiter served the complimentary starters. I could call it potato chips chat. The potato chips were mixed with the tamarind and the chilli chutney with little curd and sev. Since I was too hungry, I started hogging it.
For appetisers Sariska Panna (Ripe pineapple based) and Shikari Shikanji. This was ok.
For starters, we ordered Karara Palak Chat which was specially recommended one of my good friends and it was worth ordering! I loved it. Though it was the palak leaves dipped in besan and fried, mixed with the tamarind chutney and the chilli chutney with sev.
Apart from this, there was papaya dipped in sugar syrup on each of our tables mixed with flax seeds. I loved this as well.
We ordered Bran Roti (supposed to be made from the unpolished wheat) and Butter Roti with Handi Ki Subzi.
I loved the Bran Roti for the very fact foof tasting very different. The Butter naan was so huge, my friend could not complete it. Handi ki subzi was spicy and was a great combination with the Indian bread.
We were so full to have the desserts but, complementary Moti Choor laddoos were served. We assumed it could be coz’ it was Indian Independence Day and enjoyed it.
For the two of us, the bill was approximately Rs.800/-
I could also notice some kinda cave in some corners where the tables were placed and the food was served.
Overall, for a jungle experience, Serengeti is a must visit. More than the theme, the food overtakes the score on everything else!!
I give it two thumbs up!!

Another hunt for a good theme based restaurant.Makes u feel in a african dark rain forest.
Food is a mixture, meaning Indian and not AFRICAN based at all, considering the theme.
Good ambience, prompt servcice,good food, meaning the starters, must try out the KESAR PANNA, and can try the TAFTANS, great replacement for ROTIS.
DECENTLY PRICED. biryani average.

heard about this place from a friend that something different...
did nt expect much simply went there....
and after seeing the environment created it s awesome
especially the elephant s movement and sound effect enjoyable and that giraffee so cute...
then the food was delicious service was good but a bit slow...and the price range is high not moderate
the waiters came and asked how was the food as the starter was not nice we told them ....for that we got a complementary desserts (2 sweets, kulfi,gulab jamun) superb...........
they value customers feedback seriously they value the customers.
worth going .........

Nice place to go especially if you have kids with you. Food was nice, ample portion size and decently priced. Drinks are expensive here. Service was nice. I would definitely try this place again. Try to reserve in advance if you want to avoid a wait especially on a weekend.
