KINKAO — Restaurant in Malé Atoll

Authentic Thai Flavors & the Best Mango Sticky Rice! 🇹🇭🍛🥭

This Thai restaurant served one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. The flavors were rich, fresh, and perfectly balancedfrom the spicy curries to the aromatic fried rice. Every dish tasted homemade and full of love.

The highlight of the meal was definitely the mango sticky rice. The mango was sweet and juicy, and the sticky rice had the perfect texture with just the right touch of coconut cream. It was the perfect ending to a delicious dinner.

Warm service, cozy setting, and great value for the quality of food. If you love Thai cuisine or just want to try something flavorful and authentic, this place is...

Definitely not a restaurant that would be loved by Indians. None of the main dishes tried were in edible tast, for me. But the dessert was amazing.

Peek ghai thod was good. Chocolate icecream was also good. Others definitely no star.

(btw many restaurants on the island don't have!) This is a bit weird as fish is the only protein they have a lot here, chicken and beef...
