" This felt like a hidden gem in the city! All the halal options on the menu were very welcomed. The ribs were tender and flavorful, and the calamari appetizer was fresh and tasty. The ambiance is perfect for a casual dinner with friends or family. Although the wait time was a little long, the excellent food was worth it. I’m for sure coming back to try more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I celebrated my birthday at Kara Mia and it was a wonderful meal. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our experience was exceptional! The pasta was delightful, and the steaks were cooked just right. The dessert menu had some amazing options as well. Great restaurant for a special occasion! " (*Curated Review*)

" Recently visited Kara Mia, and it was a mixed experience. The atmosphere was delightful, with cozy seating and tasteful decor. I tried the fettuccine, which was absolutely delicious, but my partner's steak was unfortunately overcooked and tough. Service was friendly but a bit slow, likely due to it being a busy evening. All in all, we enjoyed our meal thanks to the pasta, but I hope they can improve the steak cooking. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved this restaurant! As someone who follows halal dietary restrictions, I was thrilled to find an Italian restaurant that delivers on flavor and authenticity! The ribeye steak was cooked perfectly, and the saffron curry poutine is to die for! The servers were polite, and the atmosphere was perfect for a cozy dinner. I'm definitely returning soon to try more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had dinner at Kara Mia and the vibe of the place was really nice. I loved the decor and how welcoming the staff was. The pasta with saffron sauce was very flavorful, although I wish the portion sizes were a bit larger for the price. My only complaint is that the service was a bit slow, but it was worth the wait. I'll definitely come back for another meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was somewhat disappointed with my last visit to Kara Mia. The atmosphere is lovely, but the food was average at best. My steak was overcooked and the pasta lacked necessary flavors. The service, however, remained friendly and the place was clean. I’m not sure I’d rush back unless I hear improvements are made. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a great little find! Kara Mia has an irresistible menu packed with halal options. We sampled several dishes, but the saffron poutine stole the show! The service was kind and attentive, making our dining experience even better. Definitely a go-to for anyone looking for halal Italian food in the area! " (*Curated Review*)
