Excellent food, had the shrimp curry coconut bowl and it was excellent. Plenty of vegetarian items and kid’s food. The Moana drink was delicious. Fun vibe. Huge place - indoor and outdoor. Great experience. Knowledgeable staff.

I recently visited Kaya Island eats and was thoroughly impressed by their attention to safety for coeliac diners. As someone with coeliac disease, I am always cautious about dining out due to the risks of cross-contamination. However, my experience here was exceptional.

The manager/chef was incredibly knowledgeable about coeliac disease and the importance of preventing cross-contamination - they made sure my food was cooked separately.

I enjoyed the jerk chicken (no plantains) without any concerns plus it was delicious!!

Kaya Island Eats was wonderful! Best GF vegetarian I had in Key West! The menu was very clearly marked and the waitress seemed very clear on GF. I loved the Veggie Coconut Curry! It was delicious and the portion was large and filling. The cocktails were yummy too. I did not get sick and felt very confident eating at Kaya safely.

We came to here because of the reviews on this app. The staff was very knowledgeable about dietary needs and replaced the rice with plantains because of my intolerance. I am celiac and had zero negative reaction which is very rare for me so I can highly recommend this restaurant! The sauce on the grilled fish was so delicious and the veggies were cooked to perfection! My son who has no dietary issues absolutely loved the fish and chips. Said it was the best he has ever eaten.

This was our favorite place in Key West!! We brought fresh caught fish and they turned it into three delicious courses, full of flavor and so so good. Making it all gluten free (including the deep fried fish bites) was nbd to them, which was reassuring. The atmosphere is fun. They had a few games the kids could play, there was live music and karaoke right by it. It was all exceptional and we are so glad we found this place.

I was very excited to come here after reading the reviews - but didn’t have the same experience. My gluten free soup came out with croutons even though I said I had celiacs and the menu said GF. I had the skirt steak which was also marked GF and have been sick ever since. The service was also so slow. We had reservations and were seated immediately but didn’t get our food for over an hour.

Separate list of all gluten free options available on their menu. The coconut curry rice bowl was just what I needed. They have a gluten free dessert option, Chocolate Polenta Cake.
