Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We were at Varu from 06 to 16 October for our honeymoon. I'm going to leave a wider review for the resort which has been fantastic, but by far our best dining experience has been at Kaage. If you are on the Varu plan (like us) you get a 4 course meal from a set menu. However my partner and I both have dietary requirements, so the chef went off menu for us (and couldn't be happier to do so). The food is all traditional Maldivian cuisine and is simply amazing from start to finish. We were lucky enough to come twice during our stay and would have come again if we could! The staff are all extremely attentive and friendly (my glass was never empty) and is encourage anyone coming to chat to them about Maldivian culture. The restaurant itself is beautiful with a lovely atmosphere. A clear 10/10 experience. Thank you so much to ask the staff and the chef for making our experience so amazing.

In the interior of the Varu hotel, ale carte is a restaurant. They promote the culture and cuisine of the Maldives. You’ll be delighted to leave when you arrive at this restaurant, home to the chef and his family. The crew is very attentive, the food we say reduces its spice for tourists, but the spice is sweaty because the pain is unusual. The dessert plate didn’t go well, but the start of the main course was delicious.

Great restaurant. The service was excellent and the video before hand was very helpful in understanding the natural ingredients of the Maldives. You will experience everything on the menu with only the entree being a choice , making it very easy to relax and enjoy the experience .

Great experience at Kaage!!! The Chef did a phenomenal job preparing multiple dishes for us. We believe the right amount of spice was used to show the true cooking style used by this beautiful culture. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming. The restaurant made us feel very welcomed and comfortable while eating a delicious dinner.

Going through the different courses we were able to truly feel the Maldivian culture and the amazing flavours. The video that we were presented in the beginning helped to understand the history of the courses. The atmosphere in worm and the music also helps to dive in the culture. Our waiter was Fauzan - he made our dinner even more delightful, by his warm attitude and the way he explained every detail behind every dish.

A great restaurant in the Varu resort. From start to finish this was a delight. Service was amazing, the food was tasty and the ambiance perfect. Ateef served us with a lot of attention and fun details about food we were eating. Was well informed about the maldives. Loved the video at the start and the chance to wear traditional clothes for the meal.

We dined at Kaage during our stay at the wonderful VARU by Atmosphere in the Maldives. What can I say? The whole experience at the restaurant was fantastic. We started with a welcome drink, were kitted out with some Maldivian traditional dress, and watched a short educational video on the history of the Maldives and the evolution of the cuisine. This set us up for an amazing meal, full of new unique flavours, accompanied by some signature cocktails and well recommended wines. We were served by Aagy, who looked after us so well and explained the ingredients and flavours in the excellent food we tried. I highly highly recommend visiting Kaage.

This was more than just dinner, as we were welcomed with a drink, asked to wear a sarong, watched a short video on the history of the the Maldives, before we were taken to our table. Our hostess 'Aggy' was very helpful and was able to walk us through the menu without us needing to see it. All three courses were tasty food, washed down with french white wine. Glad I visited this venue and would recommend it over the other places to eat on Varu Island.

A feast for the eyes, senses and taste buds. From the moment you are greeted and have a traditional sarong tied around your waist, through the interesting short film of the history and foods of The Maldives to the exceptional banquet laid out piece by piece over several courses. The chef, Chandon Negi, is a credit to Varu and created exceptional dishes. If I have a criticism, it would be that I wanted a larger stomach to taste everything!!! Moosa was an informative and interesting waiter who proudly told us many customs and facts about The Maldives. Thank you for a lovely evening.

It was a pleasure to have our dinner at Kaagé. From start to beginning everything was really perfect. Everyone serving us was exceptional friendly and it was really interesting to get some insights about Maldivian tradition before our dinner and also a lot of explanation during the serving. Moosa our main server was going above and beyond our expectations. As my wife felt unwell and unfortunately had to return to our room, he quickly arranged that she got the food brought to her! The maldivian hospitality is unbelievable and coming from the heart of everyone. The quality of the food and the taste as well are unmatched and even me who is normally not a spicy eater, really enjoyed the flavourful dishes.

The food was absolutely amazing! If you're here, try the Black Angus - it was perfect! The soup with tuna and a rice dumpling was a dream and incomparable in taste. The hosts are warm and the service is courteous and very concerned about our well-being - thank you for the unforgettable evening!

We were hosted by Moosa who was fantastic, he explained everything in detail with recommendations and was really helpful and attentive throughout the meal. We were greeted by the host and given a lovely welcome drink and Maldivian skirt to wear. We got to watch a video explaining all about Maldivian history. The dinner was a tasting menu where we chose 3 of the 5 main courses on offer. We got 3 starters, soup and 4 main courses! Make sure you arrive hungry!! It was all finished off with a herbal tea and a selection of 3 puddings. The food is tasty, very flavoursome, some dishes fairly spicy but all cooked and presented beautifully. We would highly recommend Kaagé if you want to experience true Maldivian dining in a relaxing peaceful atmosphere.
