Where to Eat in Male: The Best Restaurants and Bars
The island capital of the Maldives teems with high rises and narrow streets, all ringed by seawalls. Shopaholics can savor Male's flavors in the local markets, which are packed with fresh produce, and along Chaandanee Magu, the spot for local souvenirs, such as carved wooden dhonis, miniature replicas of the boats dotting area waters. The golden-domed Friday Mosque presides over the landscape, while the underwater riches of the atolls lure scuba enthusiasts from around the globe.

The restaurant is clean and comfortable, service is rather slow, and food is a mix of Asian and everything really! We choose Asian and it was acceptable. Can't really say much else, but from our walk around the streets it looked to be the best place!

First impression when u get in is wow but soon it changes when nobody serves u more than 20 to 30 minutes.it dose not look clean and service is more busy with themselves rather than with guest,just to drink one ice tea and pay take more than 1 hour so we decided not to eat there.will sure no go there and will suggest people if u have a lot of time to waste go there..

My boyfriend loves briyani and he eats it quite a fair bit living in Singapore and we thought our home country has one of the best power briyani.
Not till we tried the version here. The chicken briyani in this restaurant is out of the world. When I took my first mouthful, I couldn’t resist having more. It is so so so delicious. The way it’s been cooked is truly very tasty
He couldn’t agree more with me that we found the best briyani amongst all we have tried.
I ordered the devils beef curry and asked for extra spicy.
Although it was not very spicy (I am a spice girl) but it tasted so good . The flavours from the curry with white rice couldn’t be any better and the beef was also very tender.
I highly recommend everyone to order these 2 dishes when you visit this place.
The service is also very good. The food arrived in 25 mins but we were told the curry was made on the spot upon an order.
The wait was all worth it.
Very satisfied meal.

the Restaurant.. the smoking area is more mediocre poor in cleanliness, the upped deck is a great location however restaurant charges extra if you wish to sit upstairs
the waiters are not the most friendly.. they are way too busy serving the hustle and bustle down stairs

As a frequent traveller to the Maldives I was so pleased to have stumbled across this establishment. Authentic cuisine, polished finishing and presentation, great service and a leading ambience. Worldly quality in Male that would give many a resort restaurant a run for their money.
Congratulations

Want to relax in between speedboats. This is the place. Located adjacent to Jetty 7, it's a great place for lunch or afternoon tea/coffee. Go upstairs to the second floor and sit inside the cool air-con room or outside on the balcony overlooking the harbour. The lunch specials are great value and prepared fresh. Also a nice selection of sweets to go with your afternoon pick-me-up coffee. All the food here is presented beautifully and tastes great. The staff are also great!

Reviewed By 22_scarlet_22 - North Male Atoll
they offer asian dishes like thai and indian foods. the food quality are average the price is good & cheap. good for budget goers. but the service is very poor. the food orders take long before they serve, waiter are very sloopy. they will serve you the food directly without setup. well this is what you get for the cheap price you pay for.
