The food was exceptional! All of the dishes we tried were cooked to perfection. Everyone in the restaurant was so accommodating and the place was very clean. Credits to the chef and everyone in the resto. When in Ottawa, this place is a must try. Highly recommended ??

Used to be my favourite but the quality has declined alot. Order saffron poutine and pasta and both were extremely bland. The taste of saffron poutine was too bad that made me feel sick. Wouldn’t recommend and would not order again.

the worst restaurant ever a first-time customer at Kara Mia, I was excited to experience their Iftar offerings during Ramadan with a group of friends. However, our visit left much to be desired.One of the most disappointing aspects was the discrepancy between the menu description and the actual dish served. Several members of our group ordered steak, expecting a classic steak presentation, only to be served roast beef with gravy juice. This unexpected substitution not only failed to meet our expectations but also misrepresented the dish we were anticipating.Adding to the frustration, some of us never received our food at all, despite fasting for Ramadan. This forced us to abandon our plans and search for another venue to break our fast, which was both inconvenient and disappointing.As a result of these experiences, my impression of Kara Mia as a dining establishment is unfortunately tarnished. While I appreciate the complexities of running a restaurant, especially during peak times like Ramadan, the level of service and attention to detail fell short of what I would expect, particularly as a first-time patron.While I'm hesitant to give Kara Mia another chance based on this initial encounter, I'm open to the possibility that our experience may have been an anomaly. However, should I decide to revisit, I'll be cautiously optimistic, hoping for a more positive dining experience.

I heard of this place from some friends, I came to try it. There aren’t many halal restaurants in the city so we came to try it out. I’ve tried a few things on the menu but my favorite so far is the Ribeye steak and their special Safron sauce is amazing. I recommend trying this place out for sure. The staff is nice and there’s usually a place to sit. I forgot to take a picture before I ate hahaha
One of the best deals for steak lovers. The ribs were cooked to perfection and the Alfredo pasta was mind blowing. The chicken had an extraordinarily good taste owing to the saffron sauce on the top. Only the beef steak was below average. We ordered medium but it turned out very chewy.The ambience is perfect and top notch. ? Marks on that.

Mohammed was very gracious and the wait staff were great. Emma & Anjou. The food is very tasty. Just a note there is no alcohol available for sale at this Restaurant it is a great experience, especially if you have kids. For those who are interested, they do have HalalParking: It isn’t a small mall lots of spotsKid-friendliness: I feel with no alcohol there was less rowdy people.

The food was meh, service was terrible because they're short staffed or maybe they were all new and weren't trained to be attentive to there

We waited 30 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. The food was rushed and it was missing flavor. My first time at the restaurant was much better. I'm disappointed.
