Have been to Kaya before but honestly it's been a couple of years. We started the night with some salsa and chips and the corn and lentil beignets. The beignets stole the show. Excellent flavor. Hot, crisp on the outside, soft and tasty on the inside.
For dinner we split the Jamacian Green Curry veggies with shrimp. The curry was pretty tasteless and the veggies were mostly potatoes. 4 small size shrimp were hardly worth the up charge. In addition, we split the tuna tartar for dinner. It was very flavorful. Pure clean tuna. No fillers to stretch it out. It was topped with an avocado. Very tasty. Best value of the night.
The one thing that blew us away were the drinks. We ordered a drink, who's name escapes me but is was a whiskey drink and we asked for it to be made with our favorite spirit instead of well whiskey. It was tasty. HOWEVER, at the end of the night, when we got our bill, we noticed that they charged us for the original price plus a full up charge for the premium spirit/ not the difference between the two. $21 for a small drink in Pittsburgh. You have got to be kidding me. It's Pittsburgh, NOT NYC. Get it together.
