Kaya and the entire Big Burrito Restaurant Group are just so awesome! These folks do it right. Kaya has been around a really long time and held true to its original menu and décor. I love their mixed drink variety and seasonality using fresh ingredients. They have an extensive draft beer menu with a lot of rotating seasonal offerings. Their food is simple, good, elevated casual food. I heart their black bean appetizer (although it always gives me WICKED BAD heartburn) and their crispy fish tacos. I tried the corn and lentil beignets with that delicious green curry sauce and was really impressed. They were not dry as I feared and had such a deep curry flavor with a brightness from the green sauce.
Their wait service and bartenders are always so friendly and helpful. They know their menu inside and out and they want you to have an excellent experience each time you dine with them. Their training is top notch.
I really want to try their Fried Chicken Night on a Thursday. I bet that knock that one out of the park!
