| - This place is delicious, serves halal food, the service is fast and friendly, and the ambience is pretty nice! We came on a Saturday for a late lunch and, surprisingly, it was empty but don't let that deter you from trying this place out - based on other reviews, this place can get pretty busy.
Since we all weren't that hungry, as a group of three, we got the peppercorn steak special - striploin steak (medium well) with peppercorn sauce, mashed potatoes, salad, a sausage, and a pecan caramel cheesecake slice - for $27.99. The steak was so good - I don't know what's exactly in the peppercorn sauce but it was delicious and the mashed potatoes and salad were nicely paired with it. The sausage was a bit random of an add-on for me but it was good too - not as good as the steak but still something to help fill us up. The cheesecake slice was good to end the meal but not the best I've had for cheesecake. I'd say the price you pay for all this is worth it.
Since we were three, we decided one steak special wouldn't be enough for us so we ordered a saffron poutine to eat on the side ($7.99 but a larger size exists for $11.99). This dish was amaaazing - fries in a saffron sauce with mozzarella cheese. If you come here and had to order one thing - this would be it. I'd come back (and am planning on doing so) JUST for the poutine. Saffron isn't a common ingredient in dishes and I am not 100% sure how to describe it - sort of bittersweet... (obviously in a good way) you'll just have to experience it yourself. All three of us loved it. No questions.
Kara Mia is a great restaurant in the area - great service, nice environment, a good variety of options, and yummy yummy food - it's a recommend from me!
