Woods Café mv — Restaurant in Malé

As vegetarians traveling through the islands of Mali, we’ve found our options limited—mostly dhal and lentils day after day. So discovering Wood Cafe was a truly refreshing and much-needed change 🌟.

We ordered the vegetarian falafel wrap and the vegetarian falafel burger. Both are plant-based options, which is rare to find around here—but if you’re only getting one, order the wrap! It was flavorful, well-balanced, and hit all the right notes. The burger, while appreciated, was a bit dry and heavily fried compared to the wrap’s deliciously wrapped goodness.

What we loved even more: ✅ A wide selection of vegetarian dishes ✅ Great air-conditioning—cool and comfortable inside ✅ Clean environment ✅ Friendly, attentive service

In a place where fish dominates most menus, Wood Cafe offers a vegetarian-friendly escape that’s both satisfying and welcoming. Truly grateful to have found this spot. Highly recommended to any fellow plant-based travelers looking for more than...

The atmosphere of the whole restaurant is very relaxed, with comfortable seating arrangements that aren't too close together, allowing for a pleasant dining experience and quality time spent chatting with friends.

In the menu, you can see various options, Arabic, Maldivien, Pizza, dessert and so on.

I ordered Nasi Goreng, which came in a generous portion with plenty of meat and even included a meat skewer and a fried egg. Food was delicious indeed!

And the best part is that the restroom is very clean, which is essential to me.

I highly recommend this place to locals, expats,...
