The revamped restaurant embraces a fresh and modern look while preserving and honouring its distinctive high dome ceiling design which was inspired by the shape of a cuttlebone, an integral part of the original restaurant’s structure. The enhanced sense of arrival from the restaurant entrance promises to elevate the overall dining experience, creating lasting memories for Anantara Kihavah’s esteemed guests. With seating for 16 guests, a highlight of the distinctively designed venue is the theatrical teppanyaki display so expertly performed by the chefs.

Featuring a raised ceiling under a thatched roof, the structure is complemented by a dramatic chandelier, and showcases an expansive sushi counter along with additional seating for another 20 guests. The expanded seating capacity ensures that more guests can savour the restaurant’s culinary delights while taking in the breathtaking panoramic views of the Indian Ocean.

Another highlight of Fire’s reopening is the introduction of an all-new menu featuring a curated selection of sake and other specialty beverages. Well-versed in the art of Japanese and Peruvian cuisines, the restaurant’s talented chefs are ready to delight guests by taking them on a gastronomic journey that combines precision cooking techniques with vibrant flavours.

Anantara Kihavah invites guests to embark on a culinary journey that transcends expectations, where the fusion of Japanese Teppanyaki and Peruvian flavours meets the tranquillity of a Maldivian paradise island.
