| - Kara Mia is pretty good. I say this for many reasons. Great food, great service, and friendly staff.
I've been here twice, and both experiences have been pretty good. The first time I went here was on Eid, and miraculously, they were able to seat us without reservations. We ordered several dishes and our food arrived within a reasonable amount of time. Out waitress was very friendly and kept asking us how things were. Her kindness was really appreciated. The second time we went was for my brother's birthday, and the experience was just as good as the first. Friendly staff and good, fresh food.
Being a Muslim foodie, you could understand why this place excited me! Finally, a halal place that doesn't have the typical burgers or shawarmas or pizza. Some good, fresh, and tasty Italian food for a change? Yes PLEASE!
The food is a bit on the pricey side, but that's not all that surprising considering the quality of the food and experience. Remember that you're not paying for a shawarma or burger here! :)
I noticed that the head chef was very friendly with all customers, and insisted that they come over and watch him cook. I thought that was really nice!
Some foods I've tried here:
Fettucine Alfredo- 3.5/5
Penne with saffron/mushrooms: 4/5
Regular poutine (no longer on menu) 4/5
Saffron Poutine: 3.5/5
Chicken Parmesan: 3.5/5
Kid's steak (according to brother): 3.5/5
Chicken Caesar salad: 4/5
Mista Salad: 3.5/5
This place is great for a change from the regular halal restaurants you'll find in the GTA, and for that alone, the high rating was given. I definitely will return for some more chicken and steaks! Yum!
