" My recent visit to Serena Restaurant was very disappointing. Although some dishes were decent, others were bland and not up to the mark. I specifically found the chicken karahi lacked the flavor I was expecting. Furthermore, the buffet setting felt cramped, and there was a long wait to get seated despite having a reservation. I appreciate the efforts of the staff, but the quality of the food needs to improve significantly for me to consider returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" Serena Restaurant is a gem I discovered recently, and it quickly became my favorite spot for Pakistani cuisine! The food served here is consistently fresh and authentic. Their goat curry is my top recommendation—it’s rich, spicy, and full of flavor! I’ve also enjoyed their khichdi, which is comforting and perfectly seasoned. Each visit confirms their commitment to quality, and their warm atmosphere makes the dining experience even better. Plus, they've recently opened a new location that is beautiful! Keep up the great work, Serena! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Serena Restaurant after hearing so much about it, but my experience was mixed. While the lamb platter was tender and flavorful, the naan wasn't as fresh as I hoped. The staff was friendly, though service was a bit slow. I enjoyed the ambiance, which made the wait more tolerable. I might give it another try but would like to see improvement in the freshness of the bread and the service timeliness. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to Serena Restaurant was memorable! We tried their lunch buffet, and the range of dishes was impressive. From spicy chicken tikka to flavorful korma, they had it all. However, some dishes were a bit on the oily side, which could use improvement. The dessert selection was delightful, especially the kheer. Overall, the atmosphere was vibrant and filled with the aroma of spices, making it a great spot for Pakistani food lovers. I will come back to try the dinner menu as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience at Serena Restaurant! The ambiance was inviting and cozy, making it perfect for family dinners. We ordered the chicken biryani and the nihari, both of which were absolutely delicious! The flavors were authentic, reminding me of home. I would definitely recommend trying their mango lassi too—it was so refreshing! The service was friendly and attentive, enhancing our overall experience. I'm looking forward to visiting again soon!
