Hari Nayak is heading back to Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa and for lovers of Indian cuisine with a contemporary edge, this is one to mark on the calendar. 

At the resort’s award-winning Indian restaurant, Baraabaru which is  named among CNN Travel’s Top 10 Maldives’ Finest Tables in 2022,  Chef Nayak continues his culinary dialogue with Head Chef Kishan Singh, blending coastal Indian traditions with global technique.

This season’s menu dives into regional favourites with personality: Gujarat’s Anda Ghotala, Kolkata’s Beguni, black garlic naan, barbecue butter chicken chops and a playful gulab jamun crème brûlée. A standout? His signature whole baked lobster with coconut turmeric sauce and lemon rice — bold, fragrant and unmistakably his.

Chef Nayak will be in residence from March 30 to April 4, 2026.
