"Great place, service and amazing food. If you haven't been before I would definitely add it on the list of places to eat at and I'll grab the bill if you didn't like!🤣 Ps. Don't sit on the doorway side, can be a bit chilly when cold outside. Enjoy the great experience"

"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."
