The food was great and felt genuine. We were told that all ingredients were imported from Thailand. And we believe it because of the taste. Good value, esp when 10% tax is added to everything, we spent appr. 70usd for four dishes and two drinks. Compliments to the chef, who also seemed genuine)

Worth checking out. The owner insists his food is the only authentic Thai food prepared by real Thai chefs. Expensive, but very nice. There is a hotel on site too, and it is possible to do deals with resorts so that you stay at the hotel and visit the resorts on a one-day all inclusive package. We didn’t see the... More

To tell the truth Sala Thai is one of the best restaurants in Male'.The food is very nice and quantity is good too but all of this plus the nice atmosphere comes with a nice price tag.

After reading reviews about how great this place is I thought maybe I was expecting too much. I will say that the atmosphere is warm and inviting and the staff are friendly.

Its a pity that many people just don't understand the logistics of the Maldives and so compare apples with bananas; Thai food in Thailand is certainly a lot cheaper than here as they don't have the logistic issue than we have; if Thai restaurants in other countries do what we do here and buy the products from Thailand - importing...

If you want a fine dining experience in Male, then head to this classy elegant restaurant. The restaurant is located in an old building that has been refurbished, evoking an old world charm. Even though, a bit pricey, the food is delicious. The food is priced in dollars, and that immediately tells that it is a top-end restaurant. The huge... More
