Shell Beans

In the middle of a buzzing city, you have this beauty called shell beans. The staffs are warm and welcoming... very kind in their approach and I really appreciate this. Great work on the food. Delicious is the right fitting. The location is great with a brilliant frame of Seaview.

We came to the café around 8:30 am. These were what we had for dine-in. 1. Tandoori Chicken Sandwich 2. Kulimas With Roshi 3. Chamomile Tea 4. Iced Latte 5. Macchiato 6. Iced Caramel Latte The food was okay. The lattes were way too sweet, they overpower the coffee. We asked for them to replace the Iced Latte. By default, latte should not be sweetened, unless being asked to. They claimed that is how their recipe is and were reluctant to replace without charge. They did replace after we kept on insisting. We asked some meal for take away, to be ready to go by 9:30 am, as we had boat transfer at 10:30 am to Ukhulas. We arrived around 14:45 pm, and we had unpacked the takeaway for our lunch. 1. Chicken Wings 2. Chicken Biriyani 3. Shell Beans Special Fried Rice We found out that the fried rice had already been spoiled and was not edible. (See picture). The chicken wings were dry. We were disappointed, as we were hungry and tired of the journey. Seeing the condition of the packed food – it could be that they packed us yesterday meal. The chicken briyani is okay.

Shell Beans in Malé is a fantastic spot for a meal with ocean views! The food was spectacular—fresh, flavorful dishes that make every bite worthwhile. Service was a bit delayed due to the massive crowd during office break time, but it was totally understandable. The staff were very nice and helpful, turning the wait into a pleasant experience. Worth it for the quality—I’ll be back! Rating: 4.5/5 📍 Boduthakurufaanu Magu, Malé 🌟 Highlight: Spectacular food and friendly staff

Stopped by while waiting for someone. The drinks are pretty good, though slightly sweet for my taste. The tiramisu wasn’t as creamy as I expected and felt a bit watery. I’ll still come back to try other items next time.

Nuestro lugar favorito para desayunar. It’s our favourite place for breakfast. They have a vegetable milk 🙏🏼❤️

A nice cafe by the sea 🌊 service was good and the F&B delicious 😋 the team was friendly and helpful 👌 the upstairs seating area is perfect to relax in

The penne was a bit disappointing—it turned out quite dry. I couldn’t finish it without ordering an orange juice. A little more sauce would definitely improve the dish.

I come here almost every time I'm in Malè. The seats upstairs on the balcony are great. The location is convenient, especially if you're waiting for a boat etc. Price may be a little higher than what you could find elsewhere in Malè, but it's totally worth it for the good food and great service
