Celebrated chef Hari Nayak is set to return to the Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa from 2 to 8 November 2026, for a week-long culinary residency at the renowned Baraabaru restaurant. Known for his innovative approach to Indian cuisine, Nayak will collaborate with Head Chef Kishan Singh to present a menu that marries traditional Indian flavours with modern culinary techniques.
The residency promises a unique dining experience, featuring dishes such as Daab Chingri, which combines prawns with tender coconut and ground mustard, and Cashew Cod, served with fermented rice crêpe, red chilli, and curry leaf. Other highlights include Shiso Chaat, with tamarind, yoghurt, and chaat masala, and Chicken Barta, a dish of roasted chicken, tomatoes, and cashews. These offerings aim to provide diners with a fresh perspective on Indian cuisine, set against the backdrop of Baraabaru, recognised by CNN Travel as one of the Maldives' top dining destinations in 2022.
This event marks a significant return for Nayak, who is known for his ability to blend regional Indian flavours with distinctive ingredient combinations. The residency not only highlights the culinary prowess of Nayak and Singh but also reinforces Baraabaru's status as a premier destination for Indian cuisine in the Maldives.
