   Ended up eating at KAMA after booking resos at another restaurant on the wrong date; turned out to be a happy mistake! The ambiance of KAMA is second to none! I was hesitant as the space is technically a part of the “food court” style bazaar that are quickly becoming popular in YYC however you would have no idea this space wasn’t a stand-alone restaurant in the heart of downtown. After reading the CBC food critic review, we thought we’d give KAMA a try and boy were we happy we did. The flavours this kitchen produces are unique and delicious. Plates for all palates; saucy, spicy or tame. After asking our lovely waitress best ordering practice, we opted for tapas sharing -style and took her recommended plates along with a few others of our choosing and were thrilled with presentation and flavour. I wish I had noted our waitress name as the service by bother herself and the assisting running staff were too-notch. That being said, we will certainly be back to give them credit where it’s due, and will be adding KAMA to our regular weekly dine-out schedule moving forward. Good work KAMA! Keep doing what your doing, as you do it well! Sincerely, Five pretentious food snobs

   Relaxing level of lighting, acoustics at perfect level at which you can hear your partner’s conversation while not hearing the next table’s conversation and still enjoying the vibey playlist. Service was relaxed and yet professional and able to explain how to navigate great choices from the menu. Food delicious and perfectly portioned to share Really really appreciate the excellent delicious Mocktails on the menu - rarely seen on any restaurant’s menu yet. Whether you are alcohol free, trying to reduce how much you consume, wanting to watch your calories or a DD for the night - really impressive Overall, relaxing vibey delicious night out - well done Kama

    There are several elements that constitute a great restaurant experience, and it starts at the door, flows to the table and the server, the ambience around you, and of course the food. Kama has been on my "must go" list for a while now as my son has been raving about it. He described the food as "some of the best he's had in the city" and so I waited until we could go together. My first experience with Kama was Nya as we walked in. Bigger than life personality, million-watt smile and exuding confidence, poise and pride in her role. WOW. Once seated we were greeted by our server, offered water and drinks and while waiting, I let my son dive into the menu. What fist made me wonder about our service was how the sangria was presented and "served". Wine glasses and a huge pitcher filled with sangria and a bucket-load of ice. Our server did not pour the first glass (odd) nor was the sangria served with some kind of stopper to prevent the ice from escaping. I poured our first glass without too much drama but later on, trying to get the second refill out turned into a nightmare. Ice everywhere, sangria spilled. I asked our server for something to block the ice, and while we were provided a spoon, I'm unsure if it was intended to be in the pitcher originally, or something from the kitchen. Although we kept the same plates throughout the entire session, our server failed to notice the ice cubes, then the pool of water that had accumulated in them. I really wanted him to notice. I wonder if plate changes might be a part of service later. Moving onto the menu - My son ordered his "hits" - the grilled Halloumi (great simple execution), Cucumber Salad (love the flavors, especially the cucumber), Beef Kefta (awesome flavors and textures), fries with Feta Bagna Cauta (i would have licked the bowl) and closing with the Halibut Cheeks (cooked right and with great flavors). Overall, was worth the wait and looking forward to coming back soon, if only to be greeted by Nya.

    Had an amazing birthday dinner in their private dinning area. The ambience at Kama is always intimate and cozy. The food and drinks are phenomenal. The beef kafta is ALWAYS a must.

    The food was fantastic but came too quickly...order one thing at a time...otherwise it all comes and you dont have time to truly enjoy. The pasta was great...but was not enough to share with 4. Could have easily had more noodles for the meat and sauce. what we got was not worth the price. Same with the fish cheeks... Our server was amazing and knew just what we needed. Washrooms are outside the restaurant in the building. No security, no nothing...did not feel safe.
