Koya: Reviews & Ratings
This place has definitely come a long way and I must say I enjoy it and its current state. They provide a great vibe and experience. I am a big Afrobeat music lover and they do play a lot of Afrobeats and I really appreciate and enjoy that a lot. It's also a very classy, grown, and sexy crowd. The venue itself is gorgeous. It's so nicely decorated and the dancers they have are very entertaining and just add to the experience. The service has always been good in my opinion. I usually encounter nice people that are working there. I have eaten here before and I will say the food was just OK so that's why I wouldn't give this place five stars but if you're just coming for some drinks and to hear music, especially Afrobeats, I would definitely suggest it here.
Came here to celebrate a birthday and enjoyed the music ambience and service from our friendly server Natalie, she's not only gorgeous but knowledgeable and made good recommendations ! I had the lobster tacos and miso sea bass on the menu at the time ! Will be back !!
Loved the atmosphere & ambience! High fees added to the bill but I didn't mind. I would definitely visit again. Food was great & the entire establishment was very beautiful & entertaining The only suggestion I have is for Koya to get real menus! The paper menus looked cheap. But 10/10 I highly recommend.
Food was good but overpriced Ambiance was nice w scantly dresses single women everywhere The entertainment was nice with a beautiful belly dancer doing fire tricks too. Service was okay, our waitress was sweet and obviously serving too many tables Disappointing part of our evening with a party of 5 .. when the bill came, the tablet shows the itemized items but no final total .. and then a tip option of 7% 10% ... So unless you add 2:2 together you don't see the final amount included a 20% tip, with the additional tip Waitress stated the 20% went towards the house, and only the additional tip goes to her.
The vibes are great very fun place for a birthday or girls night. The food was good other than the entrées, my friend got the lamb chops and they did not have much flavor at all. However, the appetizers and salad were really good. The servers were very informative. I liked that the music was not too loud and still enjoyable. Koya was a good time.
