Why it matters
Why Taste of India, Sun Siyam Iru Fushi is worth your time
For Indian guests, a restaurant like Taste of India is the practical anchor of a resort stay. Many Maldives resorts offer Indian dishes, but few promote vegetarian depth. This one says it has an extensive vegetarian menu, which helps families plan.
Still, a vegetarian menu is not a vegetarian kitchen. Families keeping strict rules should treat the restaurant as a starting point and confirm preparation by email before arrival. The resort's website does not state any vegan or Jain arrangements that we could verify.

How to experience it
Taste of India is described by a travel-agent listing as an à la carte Indian restaurant showcasing regional flavours from north and south India, on a beachfront terrace open for dinner. The listing mentions thali, tandoori-baked naan and aromatic curries, and highlights an extensive vegetarian menu.
Order with care. The restaurant sits in a resort whose other venues serve meat and seafood, and we could not see the menu or any statement on pure vegetarian, vegan or Jain cooking. Ask the staff whether dishes are made without onion and garlic, which utensils are used, and whether ghee or paneer appears in dishes you intend to eat.
Book early on arrival, and tell the staff about any allergy. If you eat vegetarian but not egg, confirm that breads and desserts do not include egg.
