Visited after reading about this place, and it was a quite nice place. Atmosphere is great, with candle lit dinners. Has an outdoor seating available upstairs and you can dine under the stars. I tried the Murg Makhani and it was quite a mouthful for me. It was a bit pricey but I thought it was quite worth it, especially... More

The newly renovated Aioli is set up in a quiet alley between two main busy streets. The decor is tastefully done, and the food is delicious. The place certainly offers a fine dining experience in Male. And the food is fairly reasonably priced.

Setting: good ambiance on an upper floor with good lighting. Menu: surprisingly decent- more than just Pizza!

Service: Very good. Our group being eclectic, some misread the waiter's seriousness. He... More

This restaurant is under new management, have doubled the prices and replaced what was a fast outstanding service of delicious food to a three hour slog of waiting for substandard cold food to arrive to our table of 8. Being back the old management and prices this place used to be one of the best on the island... Such a... More

I've been a big fan of this restaurant for a while but was very disappointed to say the least on this recent visit. The restaurant is under new management & the prices have gone up a lot,though as was very cheap before it didnt put us off. However they don't have any proper waiting staff at the moment due to...

Prepare to pay to London West-End prices. Most of the menu was not avilable. Staff were farily curt and rude and pretended not to understand. Food generally was good and tasty- good sized potions.

Great menu and apparently it is getting better. Renovations and menu changes coming in the new year. The food was delicious; the service was very friendly and the owner / manager was attentive. I will return for sure and would recommend without hesitation.

the only great thing about the place is the location. food although not the best, used to be quite consistent, but recently it has lacked consistency. one thing positive however is that the menu contains a decent selection of light meals which is always useful on a busy day.

If you'd like a more special meal, this is the place for you. Dishes are inventive, varied, and exceptional. Service is slightly on the more formal side, but I didn't feel unwelcome wearing shorts and carrying a backpack, either. The dining room is dimly lit, giving a nearly romantic atmosphere. It's a slightly hidden gem on Male.
