No Regrets—Butter Chicken & Naan So Good It’s Addictive 🍛

Eating Indian food in the Maldives, I always feared "overpowering spices" or "sketchy hygiene." That is, until I found this spot—two years later, it’s still my go-to. Authentic enough to feel like a Delhi street stall, clean enough to eat with peace of mind, and every visit ends with a scraped-clean plate. 🍴 Why Keep Coming Back? Cleanliness + Authenticity, the Basics Done Right First visit, I hesitated: Would the "heavy spice aroma" of Indian restaurants be too much? Instead, the shop smelled only of warm naan and mellow curry. Tables and chairs were spotless, even utensils neatly arranged—no "greasy vibe" at all. Chatting with the owner later, I noticed the open kitchen: chefs in white hats flipping naan, stirring curry, making it easy to trust the hygiene. Over two years, I’ve seen lunchtime workers, families with kids, all flocking here. After all, Indian restaurants in the Maldives that nail both "clean" and "authentic" are rare finds. 🔥 Must-Order List: Butter Chicken + Naan, a Match Made in Food Heaven I’ve memorized the menu—these never fail: Butter chicken curry: The star! Creamy white curry as thick as melted butter, chicken chunks tender enough to fall off the bone. One bite, and first comes milkiness, then a gentle spice sweetness—no burn, just warmth. Even the sauce begs to be mopped up with rice. Garlic naan/butter naan: Baked like little pillows, hot to the touch when served, "cracking" when torn. Garlic naan has a zesty garlic kick; butter naan carries a faint milky sweetness. Dip in curry or eat plain—either way, you’ll fight over the last piece. Pro tip: order double, you’ll thank me. Indian fried rice: Simple but clever—grains distinct, mixed with carrots, peas, and a little lamb mince. Spices are subtle, letting the wok char shine. Pair with curry for carb-loaded joy. 📜 Menu So Friendly It’s Heartwarming: Chinese + Photos, Ordering Stress-Free The best part? The menu: every dish has a high-res photo and Chinese translation, even "mild/spicy/extra spicy" is clearly marked. No more staring at "masala" confused—just point at the pic and say "this one!" Zero communication issues. Last time I brought my parents, they nodded at the butter chicken photo, and kept saying "this curry’s smoother than Thai ones"—after all, who can resist foreign food that’s "understandable and enjoyable"? 💸 Prices That Impress: ~30 RMB/person, Stuffed to the Brim Don’t let "authentic" scare you—the price is sweet: butter chicken + naan + fried rice for 3 people = ~200 MVR (~80 RMB), ~30 RMB/person to eat till full. Compared to Maldives’ pricey restaurants, this is a "worker’s survival blessing." On my last visit, the owner smiled, handing over fresh naan: "Same as usual?" Suddenly, finding a foreign restaurant "familiar as a neighbor" feels better than hitting 网红 spots. If you’re in the Maldives craving solid Indian food, run here—after all, a place you visit N times in 2 years? It’s already got "delicious" written in its DNA. #MaldivesTravel #MaldivesFoodie #IndianFoodRecommend #HulhumaleRestaurants #HulhumaleEats
