What a gem of a place!
High end Michelin worthy food in a cosier atmosphere, with a great vibe from the music and dj's. Definitely a different experience that is worth trying.
The food hits your senses and livens your taste buds just before that first bite. The flavours then ramp up and you can enjoy the melody of flavours along with the magnificent textures of the silky smooth sweet potato or the perfectly delicate John Dory. The dishes are cooked to perfection and finished on the open flame grill for most of the dishes.
Such a great concept with the quality to back it, from the service and staff to the music and food. It's one not to be missed!
Very cozy restaurant, nice atmosphere. Food was amazing , the choice of the ingredients goes along to the season, very tasty!! Thank you Amalia for looking after us and also the Manager Santino for his warm welcome!
One of the best meals of this year. Everything on the menu is superb and full of so much flavour! Don’t miss out on the ribs and sweetbreads, both are divine.
This place is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a serene and relaxing environment to unwind and alleviate the stresses of London. It offers a delightful ambiance that is perfect for enjoying a glass of wine and finding solace amidst the bustling city.
Went for drinks, and the cocktails were amazing. Nice indoor/outdoor vibe and great service. It’s worth the visit.
The food and atmosphere was fantastic. The dishes were incredible and so was the music! Coupled with amazing wine we were blown away. The sound system was also something special.. we will be coming back for more from this special place! The service was excellent too. Thanks for a fabulous night!
Caia is like finding a rare gold nugget in the torrent of London stream of néw restaurants. OMG, it was simply faultless. Experimental and yet subtle decor, simple and yet mind-blowing menu, attentive staff and rockstar chefs. We had charred hispi, harissa, pomegranate, sirloin with bone marrow and monkfish in pumpkin XO sauce. BRAVO! ALL three dishes where off chárts. I am sorry but this is Hide quality, at fraction of the price. PROBABLY Best value to quality place in London !
We visited for dinner on a Saturday night. The venue is split over two floors. Upstairs had mainly high seating and felt more like a wine bar, while downstairs where we were seated felt like a more intimate setting for dinner.
We were 2 adults and 2 young kids and ordered the lamb salami, chicken liver parfait, chicken wings, nashi pear, mushrooms, agnolotti, stonebass, picanha (steak) and the veal sweetbreads. We tried both soft serves and the pannacotta for dessert. The food was excellent! There were many highlights throughout the meal including the parfait, agnolotti, mushrooms and stonebass. Desserts were less exciting though. It is worth noting that portion sizes are tiny, even across the items which we presumed to be larger plates based on menu descriptions and prices (steak, pasta…). We did end up ordering a second portion of a couple of items.
Service was quite friendly and food was delivered at a good pace. The bill for our meal came to £320, of which £60 was spent on drinks. While it ended up being a surprisingly expensive meal, we enjoyed some delicious, innovative food with nice wine in a buzzy venue with a good playlist. I’d go as far as to say this is my top pick in the area, which is a statement given some big hitting neighbours like Strakers and Dorian. I’ll definitely be back…
Nice place but there’s room for improvement. There’s no AC in the main floor, only in the basement (green room). The hostess seemed confused and took a while to give us a table even tho we had a booking. We ordered 4 dishes to share + starters. The outstanding/memorable was the octopus and tomato with melon salad. Favourite drink was Vida. The DJ was good but our table was next to the speaker so I couldn’t really hear my boyfriend sitting in front and we ended up with headache. Also keep in mind it’s on the outskirts of Notting Hill.
I picked Caia for my birthday, and honestly it was perfect. The food is incredible, and I don’t say this lightly. The atmosphere is great, and if you are a group of up to ten do book the private room! It’s actually connected to the restaurant, you can still see the open kitchen, but has an intimate vibe to it. Thanks guys, it was special x and the pistacchio ice cream just made me so happy.
Really cool place in the, historically, quieter part of Notting Hill and Portobello. Tasty food, friendly service, nice vinyl music and overall a great addition to the neighbourhood. Defo try it out. I really liked the grilled sugar snap peas and smoked potatoes.
Had a birthday dinner here and the experience was top notch. Beautiful setting, cozy wooden grill smell and the food was fantastic. Lovely team delivering friendly service.
We had the best table in the house. Downstairs corner. Welcomed back with a hug, fed sublime food including the best red prawns and ribs. Love the vibe and the vinyl. We will be back.
One of the best experiences I had in restaurants.
I loved the open kitchen and cosy space downstairs. The restaurant was busy so we were offered space at the bar right in front of the part of the open kitchen which we quickly found as the best spot. Chef Jessica immediately interacted with us. She was presenting us the food and she was so nice and funny we end up talking to her for a while :) Our bartender Richard presented and recommended perfect matching wines with our food which was just delicious! When we thought it can not be better their manager Istvan introduced himself and he was looking after us the rest of the evening. He made our stay much better as we expected! We will be definitely back with our friends.
Genuinely such a wonderful experience, such a lovely menu, with a great variety of options which were all incredible. Great selections of alcoholic drink pairings and staff were lovely! Perfect for special occasions!
Had the most amazing meal at Caia, scallops, prawns, melon and ribs were incredible! Shout out to one of the chefs (Duke I think his name was) who looked after us so well!
