The location is in a food hall. Came here around 2pm and plenty of seats available. The braised lamb bites chapati wrap that I ordered was chunky, tasty and huge. The chef and staff at the counter were approachable and polite. Everything served here is halal.

Chef was knowledgeable about food prep. The dishes we ordered were delicious. Lamb bite chapati wrap was my favorite. The French fries (loaded with chicken). Beef Samosas. Fried Plantains. My children asked to return for the Samosas. We chose to drive to a nearby park to eat, but inside the 7th St Market was a nice atmosphere too. We devoured the food. Thank you Serengeti for preparing such yummy goodness for us.

I ordered several dishes from Serengeti Kitchen for Thanksgiving and everything was absolutely amazing. The food was delicious and everyone we hosted was genuinely impressed. The samosas were generously filled, flavorful, and a huge hit. The chapatis were soft and pillowy, just perfect. The pilau rice was fluffy and delicious, and the mandazis were sweet, fresh, and beautifully made. We’ll definitely be ordering from them again — highly recommended!

I orders the Beef Samosas and Chips Masala. Both were delicious. Would highly recommend. Try the Rozela Hibiscus drink and Tamarind Cardamom.

We tried the loaded masala chips with lamb and the beef samosas and holy moly. Absolutely exquisite! My only regret is that we were too full when we went here and didn't order one of their main platters. The loaded masala chips were insane - the masala sauce was lightly sweet and tangy, and then a yogurt sauce drizzled on top added a rich creaminess. The lamb was hands-down the best I've ever had - I've never been a huge lamb fan, but they converted me. The depth of flavor achieved was stunning, no way this wasn't marinated for hours. And so freaking tender. Samosas were crunchy, flaky, not oily, and just a pure beef flavor. Wonderful tamarind and mango hot sauces complimented the samosas beautifully. On a 5 point scale, this place gets a 12.
