American Indian cuisine – based on traditional crops grown along the Gila River – soars to new heights at Kai ('seed'). Expect creations such as grilled buffalo tenderloin with smoked corn puree and cholla buds, or wild scallops with mesquite-smoked caviar and tepary-bean crackling. The unobtrusive service is flawless, the wine list expertly curated and the room decorated with American Indian art.
Kai is at the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort & Spa on the Gila River Indian Reservation. Book ahead and dress nicely (no shorts or hats).
