Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas announces the highly anticipated reopening of its signature overwater teppanyaki restaurant, Fire. Following an extensive transformation, Fire emerges with an elevated aesthetic, an expanded seating capacity, and a tantalising new menu.

Renowned for its fusion of Japanese and Peruvian cuisines, Fire has long been a guest favourite at Anantara Kihavah, where it forms a popular component of the resort's signature SEA.FIRE.SPICE.SKY. dining complex with its quartet of distinct dining experiences.

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.
