Kesari promises to bring a renewed culinary experience to the area, with a focus on Indian-inspired flavors set within the resort’s stylish setting.

What Kesari Brings to Mauritius Food Lovers
Keen to stand out in Mauritius’ competitive hotel dining scene, Kesari elevates Indian cuisine with a menu designed to highlight both traditional favorites and refined modern touches. While the official source kept cuisine general, official Hilton listings and guest reviews highlight fragrant curries, tandoori specialties, and Indian breads as menu staples. The space itself mixes a warm and contemporary design, aiming to give an elevated yet relaxed dining atmosphere, whether you’re a resort guest or a visitor from outside looking for a special night out in Flic en Flac.
October is the ideal time to discover something new at the beach. While Europe experiences peak summer, Mauritius enjoys its dry, breezy winter season, perfect for dinner by the ocean without the summer humidity. And thanks to Flic en Flac’s west coast sunsets, dinner at Kesari is likely to come with a dazzling view if you time your booking right.

Why Try Kesari?
- It’s one of the few dedicated Indian-inspired restaurants within a five-star Mauritian resort.

The opening of Kesari is part of Hilton’s larger update to its dining options this year, following their recent recognition in several culinary awards (more on that here). The west coast has definitely raised its game, making Flic en Flac not just a swimming and sunset spot, but a destination for serious food lovers too.
Visiting Kesari: What Tourists Should Know
Many local Mauritians pop into Flic en Flac especially on weekends, so it’s smart to call ahead for a booking, particularly around sunset or if you want a larger table. Hilton’s reservation system makes it easy for external diners to snag a spot. There’s no published dress code, but smart-casual attire will fit right in.
For guests staying at other nearby hotels, consider an early evening stroll down Flic en Flac’s famous beach before your meal, or a post-dinner walk under the palm trees if you want to digest in true Mauritian style. And if you’re planning to drive, be ready for resort security, which generally means a quick name check at the entrance.
