I really enjoyed the food; you can taste the chef’s seasoning and care in every dish. The place is small but very cozy, which makes it feel welcoming. Prices are reasonable for the quality. Overall, it’s a great place to visit and experience the chef’s flavors. I would definitely come back.

As well the chili saffron steaks we had ordered as well were cold … not spicy or chili .. as the name .. and the worst part it was over 300$ I dnt mind spending the money we do that out of joy but not getting the service needed … and that I was used to compared to the past chef abdur rahman always made sure thing went smoothly .. I guess he wasn’t working that day I did message on instagram directly to avoid any rating on the business but clearly you didn’t care about my issue so here I am warning others before they waste their time and money as well !

It was our first time here and we really enjoyed our meal. Everything was fresh, hot and absolutely delicious. And excellent value for the money. Very large portions. 3/4 of us took food home so we have food for another day. We’ll definitely be back. Glad to have found Kara Mia.

We ordered the steak with saffron sauce and breaded shrimp, which came with fries and a Caesar salad. I really enjoyed the salad, but the steak was a bit dry, even though we ordered it medium specifically to avoid that. The saffron (yellow) sauce was slightly too salty for my taste. Overall, the dish was decent. The Kara Mia fettuccine pasta, however, was outstanding—rich, well-balanced flavors and easily the highlight of the meal. Most importantly, the service was excellent. Talha was incredibly kind, hospitable, and professional. He took the time to explain everything clearly before we ordered, was patient, knowledgeable, and very easy to talk to. Considering the terrible weather and the fact that he was the only server, he truly did his best and still delivered great service. He suggested other meals to try for the next time so we will definitely be going back.

My friend Masira recommended this restaurant and this is now my favourite place to go to whenever I need my fill of pasta cravings. My friend always orders the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo with extra cheese, baked I order the Fettuccine Kara Mia both are great options! But I personally will work down the menu. I will admit it is a little on the pricier side, $19 - $25 depending on the pasta, give or take tax...however the portion size and quality is reasonable. One order, can feed me two - three times if you have an average appetite and leftovers hold up well in the fridge. The pasta is fresh and cooked to perfection, the sauces are rich, creamy, and delicious. The servers are very kind and hospitable and the atmosphere and restaurant environment feels classy. Highly reccomend and now a regular restaurant that I will be frequenting.

Kara Mia in Oakville has a beautiful, warm ambiance and a very welcoming atmosphere. The food is delicious, fresh, and well presented. What truly stands out is the excellent hospitality the staff are kind, attentive, and professional. A lovely dining experience overall. Highly recommend!
honestly had a pretty bad experience. it’s quite hard to mess up pasta, since it’s so simple, however i was extremely disappointed with what I got. They are halal however, which is a great plus.

We've been going to Kara Mia for years to celebrate birthdays and special occasions. Today we made a last minute dinner reservation for 4 of us - my husband and two teenaged kids.
We got there and were seated right away in a booth. The restaurant now has framed plexi dividers that can be moved around to allow separation between different sized groups which made us feel very comfortable. The restaurant is also very clean and beautifully decorated with tasteful decor and ambient lighting.
We were quickly brought water while we took a few minutes to decide on our order. Our meals came very quickly and were served hot. We ordered the surf and turf Saturday special which came with beef and barley soup (fantastic) to start, steak with a delicous rosini sauce, grilled shrimp that were perfectly cooked, roasted potatoes and a side ceasar.
Our kids had peppercorn poutine, mission burger, garlic bread and fries. The portions were good and everything was tasty.
The service is wonderful; Falif always treats us like special guests and makes sure everything is to our liking. We've been enjoying this restaurant for years, consider it to be a premium halal restaurant, and look forward to returning for many more years to come!
Highly recommend it if you've never been and the saffron sauce is a must try!!
UPDATE: 4 YRS LATER Still the same amazing food, cleanliness, service, overall experience!
We come here for our anniversary every year. They know us well and always welcome us with a smile, acknowledge what we're celebrating, and give us fantastic service!
