Kayi Mezze Grill

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.

The food was excellent and in big portions. All the staff are very friendly too. Very much recommended.

Lovely meal last night. Delicious food. Very friendly service at this family run restaurant. I look forward to coming back. Thank you.

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.

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.
