KAYA ISLAND EATS/KEY WEST EMPORIUM – American
Duval Street, under cover, with live music out front and a piano bar in back - Kaya Island Eats has been serving Chef Scott's Caribbean-meets-Pacific cooking since 2011 and has held this address since 2021. The menu reads like a map: ahi poke nachos, Jamaican jerk wings and jerk chicken, coconut curry veggie bowls, bang bang fish, mahi bites, pork sliders. Anglers can have the day's catch cooked to order, and the kitchen makes room for vegan and allergy-aware eating. Mai Tais and Key West Coladas handle the rest. Loud, tropical, and better than it needs to be.
