Located at the Sheraton Grand at Wild Horse Pass on the Gila River Indian Reservation, Kai has become one of Phoenix’s most celebrated dining experiences. Chef de Cuisine Ryan Swanson incorporates the essence of the Pima and Maricopa tribes into the menu and restaurant décor. Kai, the Pima word for ‘seed,' will treat you with a contemporary approach to Native American cuisine in a rich yet relaxing atmosphere. Kai’s menu features citrus from the Gila River Farms and items from Native Seed SEARCH, which is a foundation that preserves ancient Native American seed lines that would otherwise be extinct.
