Ellie’s Cuisine in Male: So Good I Want to Come Every Day!

Who hasn’t tried this spot in Male? Raise your hand! Just wiped my mouth and had to rave about it—Ellie’s Cuisine isn’t traditional Maldivian food, but the flavor is so good I want to stamp “regular customer” on my forehead 😋 📍 Location: Google Maps never lies Search “Ellie’s Cuisine” on Google Maps and you’ll find it spot-on, right near MNU (Maldives National University). I’ve grabbed their bread twice on my way to work before—soft and not dry, perfect with a hot coffee to kickstart the day. Today I finally had time to dine in, and the experience was even better than expected—totally lived up to the hype! 🌿 Ambience: A “refreshing gem” in Male Male’s streets usually have a chaotic, bustling vibe, but this place is a little surprise: in, and you’re met with bright colors—pale yellow walls with green plant decor, spotless tables, and neatly arranged cutlery. Best of all, the AC is cranked up! On a tropical afternoon, stepping into such a fresh space made me sigh with relief before even ordering—this ambience is truly top-tier for Male～ 🍔 Must-try: Beef Burger Set + Original Cut Fries, so good you’ll lick your fingers I blindly ordered the beef burger set for my first dine-in, and it was a total hit! The beef patty is freshly grilled—take a bite, and you’ll taste the juices burst in your mouth, with a hint of charred aroma, no dryness at all. The bun is lightly crispy, still warm when served, with a wheaty scent. Wrapped around fresh tomato slices and crunchy lettuce, every bite blends meaty richness, bread fragrance, and veggie freshness—pure satisfaction! The biggest standout is the fries—definitely fresh-cut from real potatoes! The outside is golden and crispy, making a “crunch” when you break them, while the inside is fluffy like mashed potatoes, with a natural potato flavor. The default sauce didn’t do it for me, but asking the waiter for ketchup was a game-changer—dipping each fry, I couldn’t stop munching! Now my head’s already spinning with “what to try next”: the menu has pasta, sandwiches, and local desserts, all added to my “Must-Eat in Male” list. This place is worth N visits—if you’re near MNU or passing by, promise me you’ll give it a shot! #MaleFoodHeaven #ElliesCuisine #MustEatInMale #BurgerLoversParadise #MaldivesDailyEats
