We visited Kaya Island Eats twice during our stay in the Florida Keys and were not disappointed either time. The food was incredibly fresh, served hot, and absolutely delicious. You can really tell they put care into every dish. The service was friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made the experience even better. We also tried their cocktails and wow— the Mai Tai was great and the Mojito was downright stellar. Perfectly balanced, refreshing, and exactly what you want in a tropical setting....

We really enjoyed our meals and service here. There are lots of vegetarian options and I chose the Jamaican jerk portobello plate. It was well seasoned, quality ingredients, and very tasty. My husband got the fish and chips with a Creole creme reulade and enjoyed it as well. The water served was also infused with mint and cucumber, which was nice!

Would give 10 stars if I could this place is incredible. We got the Jamaican jerk chicken and Hawaiian kahula pork, which were both perfect. Note, they do come with lots of cilantro which we love but not everyone does, just request it removed. Service was fast and friendly and atmosphere was perfectly island in the outside seating area. Their key lime pie was to die for too, best we’ve had in the keys so far.

The food was delicious. I read on a previous review about the spices and that reviewer was dead on. The seasoning and the flavors were a hit with my family. Everyone continued mentioning our meal here. I had the tofu and my family members both got tacos (korean bbq and shrimp). The sauces were awesome. The servers was super friendly and were super cool when helping my kids order.

We chose this place because they had vegan options and fish for my husband. Did not expect it to be the best meal I had on island. The blacken tofu was UNBELIEVABLE. If you are vegan I highly recommend. Service was great and the water you get is spa water I mean it doesn’t get much better.
