Renowned as the master behind the Maldives’ best steakhouse, celebrity Chef Dharshan Munidasa brings CARNE DIEM GRILL to ALATi for four exclusive dinners. Widely respected within Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants circle, Chef Dharshan inspires many with his culinary philosophy and fusion of cultural influences. For his first-ever takeover of the ALATi kitchen, he brings CARNE DIEM GRILL to ALATi for four exclusive dinners from 22 to 25 January 2026, introducing his pioneering ‘Ignis Maximus’ charcoal grill, designed to showcase the power of fire. Inspired by Japanese yakitori grills, the oven reaches temperatures of up to 750 °C, enabling precise cooking that enhances both texture and flavour.
CARNE DIEM GRILL is an unconventional and avant-garde steakhouse whose concept has been made by Chef Dharshan Munidasa himself. With a game-changing cooking method that highlights meat, heat and salt, amplifying the flavours that require no sauce, resulting exactly like anywhere else—the taste diners refer to as “The Best Steak Ever”. Dharshan was also the mastermind behind the success of Sri Lanka’s most popular Japanese restaurant, Nihonbashi and Asia’s favourite Ministry of Crab.
The experience centres on Chef Dharshan’s philosophy of meat, heat and salt, with rare Westholme wagyu beef from Australia as the highlight of this exceptional dining experience.
