Maldives - Maafushi Restaurants 🇲🇻🍴

Four spots tested—here’s the lowdown for anyone exploring Maafushi: not mind-blowing, but enough to fill your stomach. A bit tricky if you’re sensitive to flavors, but overall manageable! 1. Moonlight The standout? The tomato meatballs in their grilled platter—tangy-sweet and totally addictive (though the other meats tasted a bit strong). We also ordered a chicken wrap + creamy mushroom pasta. The pasta? The cheese flavor was weirdly off, not recommended. The chicken wrap was okay, though. Try their mixed juice (Pineapple and passion fruit)—it’s a crowd favorite for a reason. The combo of sweet pineapple and tart passion fruit works surprisingly well! 2. Melon Avoid the seafood platter at all costs—super "unprocessed" (read: raw-tasting) and not fresh. We ran to the bathroom multiple times after eating it… Steak is another big miss: fishy, and cooked horribly—half raw, half burnt to a crisp. The pasta was just "meh" (people rave about their pizza, but we didn’t try it). If you have a sensitive stomach? Skip this place entirely. 3. Sultan Mahal (Indian Restaurant 🍴) We came for the octopus legs, but… they were also super "unprocessed." If you’re picky about flavors, skip this dish. Pasta was on par with the others—nothing special. But their white naan? Addictive! Dipped in the pasta sauce, it’s unexpectedly delicious 😋. We also tried lasagna… let’s just say it’s not like the lasagna I know. Kinda sour and funky-tasting. 4. Kanni (Hotel Restaurant) We ate dinner here two nights. Their pasta was the best of the bunch, but luck matters—the first time was amazing, the second? Tasted off. Maybe they just slapped something together since we were leaving 😒. Pizza was okay—crust was sometimes rock-hard, sometimes perfect. The chicken skewers were good too; the dipping sauce tasted a bit like peanut butter, which worked better than it sounds. After trying all four, none blew our minds, but they’re fine if you’re hungry. (Honestly, the best meal was the chicken sandwich from Sea Monkey at lunch—so satisfying!) #Maldives #MaafushiMaldives #Maafushi #MaafushiRestaurants #MaafushiFood #ExoticFood #🇲🇻 #FoodReview
