The food at Velassaru is incredible. I would definitely recommend booking on an all inclusive basis as the Velassaru Indulgence plan gives the option to have dinner in any of the resort's excellent restaurants. The Teppanyaki Restaurant was a particular highlight for me - some of the best sushi I've tried in the Maldives.
