The Asian Wok Maldives Walkway Entrance
The mecca of Asian cuisine here in the Maldives. The Asian Wok is one of the Maldives more popular Asian restaurants. The restaurant is famous for their takes on local Maldivian dishes, Sri Lankan, Mongolian and of course Chinese! Upon arriving you get filled with excitement because the aroma starts to invade your senses and your stomach starts wobbling around with joy. The restaurant sported a nice al fresco dining experience under the stars which was a nice distraction while we were waiting for our food.
See all that food inside the Asian Wok Maldives
We ordered stir fried yellow noodles with vegetables, Kutti Rothi which is a kind of stir fried bread with vegetables, Crispy fried tofu which was simple but surprisingly great tasting, a special kind of rice that smelled really nice was served along with a whole plethora of vegetarian fares for our Hindu friend Anil. For me the ultimate surprise was how good the vegetarian dishes were! they were infused with the taste of meat or by some kind of sauce but it was delightful. Stuffing yourself with light vegetables and tofu instead of oily meat is much for satisfying this time around. Don’t get me wrong I am a huge fan of meaty dishes, but today I may consider going veg if the food is this good back home. Another popular fare at the Asian Wok is their iced coffee, it is a good refreshment at any time of the day. It perks you up and cools you down! Ah! the good life! Service was a breeze as can be expect on highly efficient Asian restaurants and the price is really not something you would think about when dining here. I’d pay double and eat here everyday if I could. Good eats!

The Maldives is a tropical island paradise that offers the ultimate island getaway. Island Resorts offer escape and luxury along with the highest level of service. Holidays here are all about no shoes and no news; strolling down or relaxing on the beach, water sports and the exquisite dining, be it on a private beach, your very own sandbar barbecue or in the best restaurants in the world with the freshest and best ingredients. The Maldives offers luxury accommodation like nowhere else and this is no different when it comes dining. Here’s a look at some of the most exotic dining locations to choose from:
Ithaa Underwater Restaurant, Conrad Maldives Hotel
Situated 15 feet below the surface of the Indian Ocean, this is the only all-glass, undersea, aquarium style restaurant on the planet. Surrounded by the world famous Maldivian coral reef on all sides, dine while manta rays and other exotic, colourful marine life glide by. The restaurant only seats fourteen diners per service so is extremely exclusive. The food at the restaurant is as good as the surroundings serving a world-class fusion of Maldivian and Western cuisines. The restaurant is also famed for its champagne selection and cocktails and each diner is presented a genuine fresh pearl.
The 24 Degrees, Taj Exotica Resort & Spa
A far more casual dining experience than Ithaa but by no means casual in its service and quality. The chefs here offer to personalise any dish and this al fresco restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. 24 Degrees is famed for its traditional Maldivian breakfast dishes but the curries available on the pan-Asian evening menu are what draw people from all over the islands. The traditional Maldivian vegetable curry is a popular choice and the desserts here are worth more than just a mention. Everything is cooked before your eyes in the display kitchen and you can be sure you’ll be getting magnificently prepared food made from the finest and freshest ingredients.
The Ocean Pavilion
If you want the most romantic and personalised dining experience available in the Maldives, arrange a meal for two in The Ocean Pavilion. This stunning dinner setting is located around a mile off the coast and surrounded by the Indian Ocean on all sides. It is only reachable by boat and once booked you’ll be chauffeur sailed to the venue and left with a mobile phone so you can arrange to be collected. The set menu features a chilled selection including caviar, lobster and champagne and the decor is littered with candles, big cushions and flowers making it the most magically romantic setting.

Dining At The Soneva Gili And The Wonderful Over-Water Bar And Lounge
Here, guests of the Soneva Gili shall experience true paradise. The wonderful scenery and experience should be as good as the food. The dining is as good as it gets, we were able to request for a moonlit dinner on our villa and the Main restaurant is just so delightful. The Main Restaurant of the Soneva Gili is located at the west side of the Lakanfushi, has an amazing breakfast menu and of course is able to fill in the requests of those discerning gourmands. The Over-Water Bar and Lounge and is glorious, the mere sight of the establishment will send you to excitement. It offers light meals and a lunch buffet of Mediterranean, fresh of the garden salad, daily fish catch, a delightful array of imported meats and my personal favorite sushi The Over-Water Bar and Lounge is a great place to just be in even with no apparent reason, live slow no shoes; thats what the Maldives is all about. But my favorite part is the customizable menu on the Over-Water Bar and Lounge its like anything you can think of then you order then there is this excitement on what will arrive on your plate, I can probably do that all day and everyday; its just so much fun! For those who want a little at-home dining experience, we recommend the Private Villa Barbecue service.

At the center of the Male lies one of the best Thai Restaurants in the Maldives!
Spend your next holiday at the Maldives! For more information visit www.maldivesdivetravels.com and www.wwwmaldives.com
Sala Thai is located at the center of the Male International Airport and is usually frequented by those coming in and out of their long flights. Well as we were, they would be in for a gastronomic treat thanks to the Sala Thai Restaurant. Like most authentic Asian restaurants the Sala Thai sports a very minimalistic and effective interior that has a tantric feel. The Sala Thai takes pride in the fact that it imports its ingredients from Thailand every week and has a master chef that is also Thai. How more genuine can we get, Customers must book early for a great meal here at the Sala Thai because the place is only small but the turn overs are quite fast so expect not to wait too long. The service is average but people are just a lot friendlier here.
The Food in the Sala Thai is well for one, very spicy for untrained and/or unprepared palates that will strike me as most likely, European and American. After meticulously scouring at the Menu of the Sala Thai, our minds were made up. But honestly we kind of already knew what we were going to have before coming here being a big fan of Asian cuisine and all. First to arrive was the smoothies that were very good though this would not be a surprise for a tropical place like the Maldives to provide fresh tropical fruit, Otherwise would have been unacceptable. The green mango salad was just delightful and paired with deep fried just caught from the sea fish it made it even more amazingly good. Yummy stir fried beef soup was just heavenly, everything was wonderful. Service is very detailed and friendly, very welcoming. I wish it was at my Hotel Resort! I would have gone here after my scuba diving sessions. Just about everything from the satay, curry and of course the pad thai were great! Just make sure you inform the waiter on how spicy the dishes would be, because the food can be really really hot!

The Meeru Island’s Restaurants are the most delightful!
For more of Restaurants on the Maldives please visit www.maldivesreviews.com
The Meeru Island has numerous delightful restaurants, During our stay we could not resist sampling all the gastronomic pleasures that were waiting for us at the Meeru island.
The Dhoni Bar
First of we hustled for the nearest bar for a quick refreshing fix of cold refreshments. The Dhoni bar is most definitely the place to go for drinks all day and all evening. It is conveniently located beside a pool for a quick dip and it also serves light snacks like chicken in a basket or some cheese toast, I did not bother with the burgers and the beef. Besides the alcoholic drinks which were always delightful the mango juice and the milkshakes were easily my favourites.
The Asian Wok Restaurant
As the name suggest it serves mainly Asian put more specifically Japanese because it specializes in tasty and entertaining Teppanyaki served off the grill full of flavor and flame. Located just beside the beach which is quite an experience for digesting a big order of Teppanyaki.
Hungaanu Coffee Shop
For those who would like to chill out and enjoy a great cup of coffee with a great view of the sea. It is here where all mornings should start all the time. Also located beside the swimming pool where your treats can be served while you are floating around. No worries if you missed the breakfast buffet the Hungaanu offers an ala-carte breakfast menu for late risers. Don’t miss out on the fresh fruit and ice cream!
Goma Restaurant
This restaurant provides such a unique dining experience that guests of the Meeru should not miss. Behold a restaurant/yacht that is anchored on the lagoon. Providing an amazing view of the turquoise horizon and help yourself to grilled specialties meticulously prepared with the freshest ingredients and seafood.
Dining at the Meeru Island was a most pleasurable experience that weaves into good memories along with a amazing summer island paradise vacation

Deep End Restaurant At The Taj Exotica Hotel
Along with the many well regarded restaurants at the Taj Exotica is the Deep End restaurant. The Deep End restaurant is more on the formal side of dining. So leave your sandy swim wear and board shorts behind for a formal dining experience on Frette linen set tables and a very long intense wine list that includes classics like Robert Mondavi To-Kalon I-Block Fumé Blanc.
Upon entering the Deep End restaurant you realize that the restaurant is actually a overwater dining room. With that great ambiance and tropical island dining feel is exceptional food. Along with all the great wine and dine at the Deep End, guests get to experience the great flavors with a romantically lit, marble and polised woods, and tables spread out a nice distance from one another.
We highly recommend the Moroccan-spiced spiny lobster medallions, fresh barramundi in a warm Seville orange mustard fizz.
With great wine comes great foie gras and its the best of the best of both at the Deep End restaurant. The menu is a long long list of tempting and mouthwatering courses and deserts. I reckon that guests should frequent the Deep End and try something new because its just so confusing. But as the food arrive the table coupled with your choice of wine, all that confusion becomes a great big blanket of culinary comfort and amazement. Choosing your meal will is going to be a tad taxing as you get a sensory taste crave overload upon gazing on the long list of gastronomical wonders to arrive at your table.
When we left, we were always given 2 small jars of lovely ground coffee, to enjoy the next morning, wrapped in sellophane and tied with gold twine. The service needless to say was amazing.
It is always a good idea to go back again and again for another delightful culinary and relaxing experience at the Deep End restaurant of the Taj Exotica Maldives.

24 Degrees Maldives at the Taj Exotica
Open air! Fresh Seafood! Great Ambiance! and most importantly great food!
The 24 degrees‘ casual dining experience but it is in no way lax about its service and its food. Besides the menu chefs are ever ready to comply with its customers’ gourmand whims. Just like any other great restaurant with great reputation, The quality of the 24 degrees restaurant is always stellar despite its wide menu of pan-Asian and International fare. Presentation and freshness is always noticeably top notch.
Breakfast at the 24 degrees follows suit on the saying “with breakfast always eat like a king” This becomes apparent upon settling yourself on one of their early morning table settings. The sunrise table has a bowl of fresh smelling bread and you immediately notice the large array of dairy products and pastries besides your typical special omelets and morning meats. There were items on the menu that seemed to be gastronomical marvels and quite irresistible to be brutally honest. Items like the egg white only omelet with roma tomatoes and basil, banana hot cakes with berries and cream, exotic fruits or should I say local that can also be delightful shakes, lentil cakes and chili sauce and of course a lot of crispy cured bacon. Eat like a king! you wont regret it at the 24 degrees Taj Exotica Resort.
Sunset comes and dinner is upon the guests of the 24 degrees. Dinner is was as enticing and delightful as the breakfast. Menu items that were noteworthy were the delectable meats such as duck, veal and a ton of fresh and perfectly prepared seafood for those who want to go light. But those menu items that stood out and proved to be memorable and highly recommended was the curry and the pepper crusted tuna in herb and butter sauce. There was of course a great variety when in comes to wine, ranging from $40 to a mind numbing $1200 a bottle. The price for it all was of course a bit steep but it is quite mitigated by the quality and the constant assurance that you will get delightful meals each and every time.
Dreamy desserts at the 24 degrees restaurant come in the likes of Passion Fruit Brulee, Baked Lemon Grass Tarts with Vanilla beach ice cream and chocolate parfaits with macerated fruits! Yum!
