KAI in Leicester

Popular spot which fills up quick for good reason! The breakfast pancakes were delicious, three thick and super fluffy pancakes with really generous toppings! The service was fast and the staff really friendly - I'll definitely be returning and I'm sure it'll become a firm favourite as a place to bring people!

My second time here, once again very impressed with the food! I had the french toast with berries, strawberries and banana. Didn't take too long to arrive and it tasted delicious wasn't too sweet it was just perfect! The presentation of the food was great too. My friend was really happy with her choice she had an American pancake with strawberries and hazelnut chocolate. She ate it all up and said she would be back to have more! Thank you so much and look forward in coming soon in the near future 😀

This is a lovely breakfast place with vegetarian and some vegan options. Customer service was also good! The only issue is parking which you would need to park at the nearest paid car park (Highcross car park would be ideal).

Every time I come back to Leicester I always come to Kai- the pancakes are INSANE and the portions are huge.Even though it sounds like a weird combo, I would recommend the cheesy bacon pancakes.Only downside is this place isn’t as cheap as it used to be but still decent prices.

Breakfast with the girls, decor is so chilled feel relaxing and the staff is amazing and fast. They do get full fast so don’t waste anytime getting there. Outside inside and upstairs seating.

KAI does brunch, and it does it well. It's not a large place and it can be busy, but the friendly staff will try their best to find room. And it's worth waiting for - cute decor and chilled atmosphere (lofi included!) makes it a great place for a low-key brunch. And the food is amazing. Maybe the best pancakes I've ever had. And the french toast was delicious too! Wouldn't hesistate to come back, and the prices while not cheap feel reasonable given the quality of the food you receive. If I had to find something to criticise it would be the bathrooms - two simple rooms that are identical in function, so why gender them? Just put "toilet" on both, and it'd make it simpler for everyone.

Such a lovely place, food was excellent.Amazing pancakes and plenty of options, latte was lovely, definitely recommend this place, staff very friendly.

If you enjoy soggy pancakes drowned in syrup with mashed up soggy bananas and some heated up forest fruit then KAI is the place for you. Surely maple syrup should come in a little jar where you can pour it over your pancakes yourself? I don't understand the hype because the pancakes were dreadful, with some cut up bananas and frozen forest fruit that were heated up. That was such a waste of my money. The chairs are so uncomfortable, the place is crowded and small. I'd rather spend my money in Dolci or Heavenly Desserts where I know I'll get quality food.

I discovered this all day breakfast spot after conducting a Google search for brunch. We got the florentine and Benedict eggs, but substituted the sourdough toast for pancakes. I wish the server had informed us that the pancakes she would be serving were sweet rather than savoury, as we had believed. The poached eggs were a little overcooked, I believe I will inform them if I return. The turmeric tea was delicious, and the overall food quality was acceptable.

What an absolute gem. Food was plentiful and even managed to get a prosecco cocktail...it was my daughters 21st birthday!.Would 100% recommend a trip to KAI, don't leave it to late though as tables are very much in demand. Other customers must feel the same as we did then 😊
