Aanu Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Malé Atoll

Great restaurant with amazing service! We had dinner on our very first day in Dhiffushi. Since we weren't very hungry we split the fried calamari and the chicken wings as appetizers and then we had curry tuna with rice and vegetables. Everything was veeeery good, but you must like spicy and seasoned food to appreciate local cousine. We came back for lunch and we had Maldivian seafood salad with naan, also very tasty and well made. Service was amazing, girls and boys working there are super kind and helpful. I must say that, despite the appearance (kinda luxurious compared to others restaurants) prices are below average for the island. For 3 people we spent 31USD for dinner and 40USD for lunch. I really recommend this place, we will...

We came here for dinner with our son and absolutely loved this place! It’s a bit pricier than other places but the quality of the food was worth it. We had the snapper filet and beef burger, both meals came fairly quick and were really tasty! The snapper came with mashed potatoes and vegetables (there could have been a bit more sauce on the fish), the beef burger came with a coleslaw and fries. Also the desserts were absolutely delicious, we loved our meals and so did our son. The waitress was also very helpful and friendly in selecting our meals and kept filling up our water glasses. Ps: the interior and decor of the place is just a dream, it reminded me of Greece, Bali and Morocco in one- so so beautiful and well...

Hit and miss. It’s one of the nicest restaurants on the island but the food is disappointing. Tasteless. I was trying to eat healthier so I ordered red snapper. It was fresh and flaky (hooray!), but BLAND as hell! I came back the next day to try lentils and garlic naan. (Plus a side of veggies to be healthy.) Lentils were decent, but the naan was chewy and dry. Veggies quite greasy.

The best part is the service and location. Beautifully decorated and a great vibe. Servers are sweet as pie. However, it takes them about 1 hour and 15 minutes to bring your food, even in the low season. This needs to improve. The recipes need to improve. I’m going to eat...
