Without doubt the best meal I have had during my time working in Derby. The restaurant is beautifully presented with polished clean tiled floors, lovely looking stone cladding and an amazing BBQ set up where you can watch your food being Cooked.
The mixed grill was delicious. The chicken was cooked just right with a BBQ flavour that didn't dry the meat.
I will be returning to KAYI once a week during my stay in Derby as it is only a 5 minute walk from the Mickleover court hotel.
The service was also very friendly and accommodating. Thank you for such a good experience.
Wanted to visit here for a while now especially because all I have heard are fantastic things about KAYI Mezze & Grill and everything I had heard was spot on.
The food was amazing, the staff were fantastic and the atmosphere was lovely. It was very easy to forget that you were in Mickleover and it was easy to imagine you were on holiday.
There were 4 of us dining, 2 of us are Vegetarians. The menu has Vegetarian, Nut Allergy and Gluten signs stated which was amazing (the desserts are also vegetarian we did have to ask as this wasn't labelled).
We had the Cold Starter Mezze to share, the portions were very generous between the 4 of us.
All the food was amazing and the portions were great, we were very full. We couldn't leave without trying a couple of desserts the Baklava being our favourite one. We were also given some complimentary Turkish Tea as well which was lovely!!
The only thing I would recommend is perhaps a rubber ring around the tea? The server seemed like he was really struggling with the temperature of the glass cups (no handles) and they were very hot when we touched them so I do think it would be in their best interest to adapt the cups slightly just so the server and customer are comfortable.
Some of the staff were very young like other reviews have stated so when we asked certain questions they weren't sure but they always went and asked another member of staff which we thought was great, it is a learning curve at the end of the day and we appreciated them asking instead of just guessing.
Toilets were clean as well (my Mum said they were very stylish too!)
Very enjoyable and would 100% go back. It's a great asset to Mickleover and Derby. It's about time we got something different, tasty and enjoyable in the village.
From the minute you enter till the end the service is impeccable! Absolutely fantastic food one of the best I’ve had. Everything is super clean and the quality and presentation of each dish is just incredible! Loved this place and everything we had including the dessert was super delicious.
Will come again
The food was excellent and in big portions. All the staff are very friendly too. Very much recommended.
Just returned from a lovely evening here, there were 13 of us and all of our meals were amazing. The staff were all very friendly and couldn't do enough to help us and make our evening special. We will definitely be returning very soon.
Lovely meal last night. Delicious food. Very friendly service at this family run restaurant. I look forward to coming back. Thank you.
Went as a group of 5, the ideal place to share food and talk! The food was unbelievable, and the service was fantastic. The Turkish Teas on the house at the end topped off a perfect night. Would recommend it to anyone!
Excellent food! I love how they bring out alot of flavour in their dishes compared to other turkish restaurants. The ribs were beautiful! And the mixed cold mezze was rich in different flavours. Even down to the dessert I ordered the Muhalebbi which was just the right sweetness. Definitely recommend as the atmosphere is cosy too. Good service from staff. I personally wasnt a fan of the coucous however the rice is good that goes with the main courses.
Lovely service and great food!
A really great selection on the menu, and the staff were informative and helpful when answering questions.
The food was beautifully cooked and well presented. Huge portions too! Definitely will be returning :)
Just been to Kayi for the 2nd time - I visited originally with friends and insisted that my family had to experience it too. The food is absolutely delicious and the service is excellent. The restaurant is clean and modern too. Thank you to the staff for getting us a table at the last minute, we had a brilliant evening.
