Best Fine Dining in Maricopa

"Set within the Sheraton Grand Hotel at Wild Horse Pass, Kai Restaurant is a five-star, award-winning restaurant that serves elite interpretations of Native American fare. The elegantly appointed dining establishment features calming décor in warm earthy tones and floor-to-ceiling windows with spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding desert landscape. The restaurant specializes in using fresh locally sourced ingredients and regional produce along with rich Arizona-made olive oil to prepare sublime dishes with time-honored Native American techniques."

"The ancient farmed and wild foods of the Sonoran Desert get a global filter at Kai, owned by the Gila River Indian Community. Chef Ryan Swanson’s “Pee-posh garden” unites the best of the desert’s seasonal bounty in one dish, emulating a garden. Right now, that means “plants” like hedgehog mushrooms, fermented I’itoi onion, and pickled baby corn from an Akimel O’odham farm, all interspersed with espuma and frozen pesto."

"Editor's Note: Photo taken from the establishment's official social account. One of Chef Swanson's favorite seafood creations: Steelhead Trout & Sturgeon Roe with warm tomato gazpacho water, Arizona juniper, nasturtium petals and charred leeks. Kai - the name means “seed” in the language of the native Pima tribe whose home is nearby - is Arizona’s only restaurant to have secured AAA’s prestigious five-star rating."

"Less of a restaurant and more of a makeshift snack shop run from the back of a neighborhood market, Little India specializes in chaat, the savory little roadside and street-cart morsels of Indian cuisine. This is as informal as it gets. Grab a ticket, mark off a few selections, poke your head into the kitchen and try to flag down somebody to take your order."
