Halal Reviews for Kai Mayfair

Unfortunately Kai did not meet expectations of a Michelin star restaurant. The restaurant was not busy at the time; we had waited 25 minutes for any sort of acknowledgement from staff after being seated and waiting for drinks. We had to keep calling the waiting staff to make our orders rather than being checked in on. Also, we found a live bug in the mains and raised this with the waiting staff. Sincere acknowledgment would have sufficed; instead the waiting staff explained the bug must have landed on the plate. They offered to make the dish again. We politely declined. As this was my husband’s birthday dinner, I had arranged for a birthday dessert for him; the waiting staff sang happy birthday and gave the dessert to me instead. The dress code did not appear to be enforced; there were customers in casual wear and trainers. The wasabi prawns were lovely as well as the lobster mains. The poor service cannot justify the amount spent.

This one star Michelin restaurant is phenomenal. The shrimp was perfect and the dessert made for a truly memorable experience! Highly recommend getting the chocolate does grow on trees dessert. This place does get busy so I would recommend making a reservation ahead of time. Added onto your meal will be a selection of unique chocolates.

The A5 grade Wagyu was the highlight of the night, a really well-balanced dish. For the starters, the seared beef had a nice texture and ginger kick. All desserts looked amazing, the creme brullee my favourite. Our waitress was really nice but the bartenders were talking amongst themselves, like if they were talking about the clients, not at the level of a high-end restaurant.
