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.
