Outstanding lunch — the food (flavours and presentation), decor and ambience, and all the staff were terrific. Fabulous food and service from Noah and the kitchen — I have a food intolerance and the chef went above and beyond to mark up a menu with things I could and could not eat, as well as items he could adjust for me. Also, it was my birthday lunch and I was given a piece of delicious cake and a birthday card signed by all the staff. Simply Outstanding and greatly appreciated. Thank you.

We went to Kama for a birthday. We had already been several times and the food didn’t disappoint. The service was also attentive. Due to the time of year (near Christmas, hockey game night), it was quite full and therefore very loud: a bit too loud for our taste (hard to carry on a conversation without yelling). That said, we would definitely go back, hopefully on a quieter night.

Kama is my favourite restaurant in the city. I am happy to introduce friends to it (like I did last night) so they can also understand. We had a fabulous meal (many beignets were enjoyed) with amazing service as always. If you are looking for somewhere that balances flavours with Mediterranean flair. This is the place.

The food was great, I went with a friend and we got the Zucchini Latkes, Duck Confit Pappardelle and Chicken Souvlaki and it was all delicious and worth the money. The service was also great.

Great food to share. My husband's favorite was zucchini latkes and he does not even like zucchini. Great drinks and non alcoholic cocktails. Beautiful interior. Little too loud if you are looking for a romantic date night. Parking is almost impossible on Friday night.
