Bypassing the busy dining room, outfitted with traditional decor, I was led down slippery steps to the outdoor patio. The evening storm had passed not taking much of the heat with it. Funnily enough, two other female travelers, who I had met on Caye Caulker and ran into at Eva's that afternoon, were finishing up their meal. We all ended up going camping together. It’s truly a small world, especially in Belize. Once they left, I was alone on the patio lit by strewn white lights and surrounded by tall palms. The music did not match the atmosphere by any means. The ever-present ‘80s hits would be the only thing I would change.
The menu listed many choices for vegetable, meat, or fish curry for about $5. The waiter was a bit rushed, finishing up the dinner rush inside, but he was very polite and attentive. I chose a veggie curry, full of carrots, onions, zucchini, carrots, and potatoes atop saffron Sri Lankan rice served, with a small salad topped with Italian dressing. I took my time enjoying the mix of spicy flavors.
When I was leaving, the dining room was empty, so I took a few pictures while explaining to the owners what the photos were for. They are a friendly couple who seemed thrilled I was going to write about them on the Internet. The husband promptly went to get a business card, while his wife inquired about my meal. I assured them that everything was delicious and I would recommend Serendib's highly.
