Mandhoo
What to Expect at Mandhoo
Mandhoo serves health-focused cuisine in a tranquil overwater setting. The restaurant’s design features warm wooden walls and a plant display that glows orange at night, creating an ethereal atmosphere. Tables are positioned right next to the water, so guests can watch stingrays and reef fish swim beneath them. The staff are polished and professional, and menus are displayed on iPads for easy reading in low light. Reservations are recommended but not always required, especially if you arrive early.
The daily fish feeding at 1:30 pm draws reef sharks and tuna to the lagoon beneath the restaurant. It’s a spectacle that turns a simple meal into an event. For Hilton Honors Gold and Diamond members, afternoon tea from 4–5 pm includes unlimited carbs, hot drinks, and lagoon views. The resort also offers a complimentary honeymoon dinner at Mandhoo for guests with a marriage certificate.
Signature Dishes at Mandhoo
- Reef Fish and Scallops with cannelloni of feta and roasted pistachio: A creative dish with an orange, chilli, and lemongrass dip that cuts through the richness of the feta.
- Korean-style seared tuna with bok choi and lime, chilli, and coriander vinaigrette: Perfectly rare tuna with a bright, fresh flavour.
- Nori-encrusted beef tenderloin with teriyaki shiitake mushrooms and wasabi-infused sour cream: A Japanese-inspired dish with a subtle wasabi kick.
- Seabass fillet with wasabi mashed potato: Expertly cooked seabass with crispy skin and a light wasabi touch in the mashed potato.
The restaurant’s atmosphere is relaxed yet refined. Unlike the resort’s underwater restaurant, Mandhoo offers space to move around and interact with other guests—especially when stingrays appear. The food is well-executed, with a focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients. The wine list is extensive but priced at a premium, and the resort serves imported bottled water rather than locally distilled options.
