Review by Kaylee Kuvalis

Kaya in Pittsburgh is a delightful Caribbean gem! 🌴 The cozy, trendy atmosphere instantly transports you to the islands. I savored their birria Cuban sandwich, and wow - it was my first, but definitely won’t be my last! The crispy bread, succulent meat, and flavorful dipping consommé paired perfectly.

And you can't miss the chocolate banana bread pudding - rich, creamy, and absolutely divine! 🍌

Service was quick and attentive. Overall, a fantastic spot for a tasty meal. I can't wait to return for more flavors!✨
