Opä
A Mediterranean restaurant on the Malé seafront near the Raalhugandu surf point, in the former Tuskaloosa's space. The menu leans Greek and Levantine, with hot and cold mezze like hummus, baba ghanoush and falafel, salads such as horiatiki and fattoush, plus manakish and souvlaki. It is a relatively new arrival, and at least one local diner felt the kitchen had not yet done the cuisine full justice.
