Kaya - Pittsburgh

Our time was off to a bad start. The waiter seemed frazzled and irritated but later apologized and was ok from there. I had the crispy fish tacos and they were excellent. My friends had the Avocado Banh Mi and Tofu Pelauand. They both lacked flavor: no salt or acidity. Dietary restrictions: The cook and waiter mixed up our order of vegan corn and lentil beignets with seafood conch fritters. My vegan friend took a bite of the seafood unfortunately before we realized the mistake. Luckily she doesn’t have a seafood allergy. We explained to the waiter and they fixed the mix up immediately and apologized profusely. I think the mistake is on the designer of the menu for not clearly differentiating a dish with a food allergen from a vegan dish.

Food is phenomenal. The portions and quality justify the price, and the staff was great. A little loud with the music but overall great atmosphere. I'll be back to try more! What have I had that I recommend? Fried fish tacos Conch and corn chowder Nashville hot sandwich Tuna poke bowl Rainbow salad! With the salmon on it is perfecto. But massive and hearty enough with no protein.

After the Queso Fundido appetizer I went with the Beef Birria Cuban. This was pretty good and came with a side of waffle fries.

Food and atmosphere were great service was also very good. The music was much louder than last several times. I've been there making it hard to talk. Even the waitress couldn't hear what we were ordering. Would appreciate if it were a little lower.

Went at a quite time (late afternoon in the first hour during their happy hour 4pm-6pm). We were there only for food. Had a good cuban sandwich with sweet potato fries. Paella was good too.
