Carribean food... well if you say so. Came here for lunch. Decor looked like they tried really hard to make seem as if they didn't try hard on it. Imagine Rainforest Cafe as a pre-teen who just realized his parents dressed him funny, so he goes to some random crap store and buys a pair of JNCO jeans to wear with his hawaiian print. This is sort of what the inside of Kaya feels like. It wants to be fancy and cool at the same time, but c'mon now... your bar stools look like they're wearing palm tree skirts.
Food: Not good, but edible (lunch). The paella was dry and looked more like fried rice. Paella is supposed to be moist, absorbing all the juices of the seafood, white wine, spices that go into making it. This was more akin to wok-fried rice with mussels and mexican rice mixed in. The burger was also lacking, with a dried out (although sizable) patty with formless bread to hold the contents together. For the lunch price point, not bad. $20 got me a beer and an attempt at what could have been a good dish, tip included. Would have paid more for a better dish, but won't be coming back for lunch again.
