    Lunch was delicious, with the menu having great options to either share as a group or enjoy separately. Highly recommend the garlic bread, eggplant fries and hummus for appetizers! The service was excellent and the ambience is cozy, upscale while being funky and fun all at the same time. Definitely recommend!

    We headed here for a celebration lunch, and it was so wonderful! I've had friends who recommend Kama, and I'm happy we went. Lunchtime on a weekday was nice and quiet. Large windows let in a lot of natural light, and the decor was amazing, filled with beautiful plants as well. The food was delicious! Some items were more expensive than others, but the quality and presentation were top-tier. Our server was so friendly and happy to explain menu items. I will definitely be back, and not just for a special event!

    What an incredible experience. My first time was Thursday Jan. 23, 2025. We ordered the delicata squash, fried potatoes, char cabbage, chicken cacciatore and for dessert, butterscotch pudding. Aside from ordering too much food, it did not disappoint and the staff were amazing and had an energetic vibe. I was so impressed I returned 5 days later Jan. 28. We ordered the marinated beets, roasted carrots, Alberta prime striploin and for dessert the dark chocolate and avocado torte. Have yet to try something I didn’t like. Great atmosphere, amazing staff and incredible food. I’ll see you again soon!

    Great food, great service, great vibe, great wine, great cocktails. Pricey but worth it. We had a fantastic time, the surf and turf platter was awesome, along with the wine pairing. Tiramisu was amazing. There was a raspberry cocktail that blew me away, and as cocktails go, it didn’t even seem very expensive.
