Kaya, another Big Burrito restaurant prides itself on serving great island cuisine. Located on the Strip on Smallman Street, Kaya is a great place to grab lunch/dinner and drinks!
Like I said, Kaya makes the best Paella. Mixed with spicy sausage and seafood, the paella definitely has a kick and is enough for two meals! I always end up having leftovers, and it's just as good the next day.
Walking around the strip one day, Eric was intrigued by Kaya's lunch menu when he saw that there were conch fritters on the menu- and he knew that we had to go in. Naturally, I got the paella while he got the pulled porked quesadillas and we both shared the conch fritter appetizers.
Reminiscing about the Bahamas and the great conch you can get there, Eric was not pleased with Kaya's fritters. I too, didn't think it was that special as there was barely any conch and just a lot of other stuffing- I got one fritter with no conch in it! Eric claimed that his quesadilla wasn't anything special and he didn't like the spiciness of the dish. My paella, however, was delicious.
We were impressed by the inside decor (and bar) as Kaya from the outside looks plain and can easily blend in with the asian markets next door! Eric was not impressed by all the spice in their dishes!
All in all, we had an OK experience at Kaya. Like I said, the dishes do pack a lot of punch and it isn't for those who don't like that spice. I am pretty sure I will return again with my friends who love the place and can't get enough spicy foods in their system. However, with Eric- it is doubtful- why is he so picky!!?
