The Pickles Restaurant — Restaurant in Malé

Writing with a heavy heart. I went to Pickles 3 or so months ago and instantaneously loved the food; so I went there 3 more times in 3 months. The last time, though, when I ordered a steak dish, the waitress insisted that I take the well-done one. She talked senselessly (she said medium rare would be too hard, but well done would not be??), but as sceptical as I was, I agreed with her in the end because of my previous satisfactory experiences there. The steak arrived maybe in under 10 mins, and it was cold. The meat was extremely tough, but since I agreed to it, I never raised an issue. Later, after sharing this incident with someone, I realised that I might have been served someone else's reject order (by the way she insisted, how fast it was ready and the way she observed me while I ate) which prompted me to write a review.

They also provide delivery service to the jetty, which is very convenient. The staff are friendly, and the service is great overall.

The only downside is that the restaurant does not have its own washroom. The only available option is the public washroom nearby, which is unfortunately not well maintained.
