| ★ I was at the Kara Mia (Mississauga location) on Saturday for my birthday, hoping to have a wonderful time. Being pregnant, I wanted to go somewhere good and have a lovely time with my family. Was I ever wrong! It was the worst night I have ever had and I never plan on going back. I had a party of 15 people and had made reservations. We all showed up on time and had to switch tables 3 times so that the restaurant was able to accommodate us. Question – shouldn’t this be ready for us prior to us arriving to the restaurant since we made reservations? Apparently not. To top things off, our ‘friendly and courteous’ waitress (emphasis on sarcasm) didn’t ask us if we wanted appetizers, did NOT come to ask us our beverage orders, and did NOT even come to take our order for dinner. I had to go and find her to TELL her that we’re ready to place our order for dinner and that she did NOT take our order for drinks.
Two and a half hours later, we’re all still waiting for our dinner. Our waitress never came to see us or kept us updated on what was going on. Did I mention I was pregnant? So I’m waiting all this time for my dinner and here she comes with three plates and says ‘Here’s three – start eating and I’ll bring out the rest.’ Excuse me – who are you to tell my guests and I what to do? At this point, I could not take it anymore.
I went down to ask her what was taking so long in getting us our dinner since we ordered almost two and half hours ago. Here’s the kicker – she does NOT take any responsibility for anything! She blamed ME saying we changed our table 3 times. Sorry – how does that affect what time we took our order? And how is that my problem when I made reservations and they could not even get the table right? Was I ever shocked and appalled to listen to how all the blame came down on me – the customer. And when asking for the manager, she says that she is the manager. Please. I knew who the manager was because when we walked in, my husband was speaking with him. Why would you look me in my face and lie to me? When you get a pregnant lady really upset, she’s bound to snap – and I did and yes, I do regret uttering a small curse but she brought me to it. I cursed the situation and not her. I am by far a very nice person who does NOT engage in confrontation – but she kept blaming me on why our dinner was not at our table.
After being upset, I went back to my table and sat down. She comes up saying that she refuses to serve me for my attitude. She says that I shouldn’t have spoken the way I did as we’re in a Muslim restaurant. Boy was I shocked. She says ‘I would prefer if you left.’ Left? First of all, we are all Muslim and what the heck does she know about Islam? Obviously nothing! There was no point in arguing so we left. It was almost 10:00pm and I had enough. I didn’t say anything else because at this point, the service was just so horrendous that if you said anything else, you’d probably get blamed for it anyway.
So let’s recap:
- It was my fault that we did not get our dinner quickly enough because we changed tables 3 times even after calling in and making reservations for the number of people we were bringing
- There was NO responsibility or accountability taken by the waitress or the restaurant’s end
- Politeness? Courtesy? Professionalism? If you’re looking for it you can definitely forget about it because it’s not here
- Telling a pregnant lady on her birthday to leave the restaurant when she has done nothing but ask for a reason why their dinner was taking over 2.5 hours to come - COMPLETELY UNACCEPTBLE.
If you’re running a business, it’s your responsibility to ensure that your customers are taken care of. Granted if you’re busy, at least keep them posted and don’t ignore them. Kara Mia is definitely off my list. Not only did they lose my business, they also lost another 15 families’ business as well.
All in all I strongly do not recommend this restaurant to anyone. The customer service is absolutely horrible and unacceptable! I would recommend you go to a restaurant where you’re taken care of and are treated with respect.

| ★ So we went to Kara Mia (mississauga location) last night for my sister's birthday... we had the WORST time possible. I have NEVER been to a restaurant and waited 2 HOURS for our food. Our waitress was the worst. We made reservations for 15 ppl, they gave us a table for 8, then we moved to another table, and still these idiots moved us again because it was too small. after ordering our food, after an hour and a half, only 3 of us got food, and said the rest will come soon. after waiting for 2 hours, my pregnant sister had a word with the waitress who apparently was the manager, and she blamed it all on us. she said its our fault, we switched 3 tables, its busy. im sorry, if your running a restaurant, u need to no how to run it properly. how is that acceptable? 2 hours of waiting for food????? we got 3 plates at 9:15pm!!!!!!! we were there from 7pm!!!!!!!! after having an argument with the manager, she tells my pregnant sister, she doesnt want to serve her.. what a way to ruin a birthday! the manager said we cant act like this in a muslim restaurant, but we are muslims ourselves and if she knew any better, she would know NOT to kick us out /. this was by far the WORST experience i have ever had, this retaurant needs to learn how to treat the customers and not to blame them. i have no idea how shes a manager, she clearly doesnt have any people skills. will definately never go back |

| ★★ You know, this (Mississauga) location had a lot of promise when it first opened. Prime location. Lots of parking. Close vicinity for a lot of the Muslim Mississauga population and of course the Kara Mia brand.
But boy has this place gone downhill ever since. A couple of people on here have already mentioned the service. My goodness gracious the service. Slow. Very slow. Painfully slow. Slow-like-service-in-a-supposedly-high-class-or-any-restaurant-should-never-be slow. Gordon-Ramsay-would-throw-a-fit slow.
In a packed restaurant (how the place was packed is a different question [probably because a certain neighbouring restaurant was packed to the gills]), there were only 3 servers working and 1 busboy.
The servers apparently are oblivious to how quick service (taking orders at least) in a restaurant should be. As an example, there were 3 police officers who arrived in the restaurant about 15 minutes after us. They got served before us. Well actually only 2 of them got served before us. The third also got served before us, but only after both of his colleagues had already finished their meals. Dude was visibly upset. The server? She didn't even apologize when she placed his entree in front of him and walked away like everything was jim dandy.
Now on to us. There were four of us. We all ordered, the burger. Yes, four burgers. Well actually let me go back to the order-placement shenanigans first. It took us at most 10 minutes to close our menus and no one took our order for another 15 minutes after that and even then, only when I waved one of the servers down. Oh and by the way, no one came to our table until I waved the server down to place the order.
So, 25 minutes have already passed, but hey, at least the order's been placed. Another 10 minutes pass. 20 minutes. 25. Hmm, I go up to the server and ask for an update. "Oh, they're just placing your burgers out on the plates. They'll be out in a minute". "Oh joy", I exclaim (on the inside).
It is worthwhile to note that there's only about half an hour left until closing time and the place is almost cleared out. There were maybe only 2 other tables that had patrons at them and they had all already been served.
Five minutes pass. Hmm, forgivable. 10 minutes. Tolerance fading. 15 minutes. I go up and ask for our order to be canceled. "Oh, there's actually one burger that we couldn't cook fully yet... it'll be out soon." Whatever that means. She brings over another server to convince us. Says our meals will be out in a couple of minutes.
Another five minutes pass. We've had enough. We go to the desk and ask for the manager. The server goes into the back and comes back out and informs us that the manager has apparently left the building (he was probably headed to the butcher shop to fetch the burger meat for that one remaining burger).
We're now in the middle of letting the server know that we're on our way out. We have adequate justification to do so. She tries to assure us that it's not her fault; she only places the orders. We inform her that she's not to blame. A minute or so after we asked for the manager, one of the other servers comes out with 2 of the orders. 52 minutes have passed and yet only 2 burgers were able to be grilled. Downright shameful.
We inform them that we're not content in dining there for the rest of the night and take our leave. So, after 1 hour and 17 minutes of sitting around looking at each other, we left the establishment having had nothing to eat.
Is this a first world problem? Yes, yes it is. However, we live in a "first world" country and were dining at a restaurant whose prices reflect the "first world" attitude and had a reasonable expectation for the service to be "first world" as well.
It was now late and there were still some pizza and fast food joints available. We hit up one of those to satisfy our hunger, but so much for a decent night out.
Would we go back to this place? Absolutely not. I said that after the last time I went, but after this time, I will avoid this place like the plague.
I give this place a 2 out of 5. If we'd have been able to taste the food, perhaps that would've changed the overall opinion but with the long delay and relatively bad quality of service, we left this place with (pardon the pun) a bad taste in our mouths. |

| ★★★★★ Surprisingly I had a really good meal here, the food was different then what I normally eat in the typical desi places. I really enjoyed the chicken stir fry with linguini and was looking forward to having the BBQ chicken pizza. which they ran out for the day unfortunately. My cousin also enjoyed the burger and the spicy rose sauce pasta. Be prepared to wait about 20 - 30 minutes for the food to arrive since they make it fresh. Location is nicely decorated and the service was very welcoming. I highly recommend this place, great place to get Halal italian food which is hard to find. |

| ★★★★★ I have been going to Kara Mia since it opened in 2006 in Vaughn and this is by far my favourite restaurant. Not only do they offer delicious meals but great service and staff. Great food, ambiance, service, a prayer area and now they have a new menu! We always look forward to experimenting with their delicious dishes. I would definitely recommend this to anyone craving authentic Italian food that is halal. |

| ★★★★★ Excellent place to dine! Service was very friendly, atmosphere was sophisticated and classy, and the food was delicious. Definitely one of the best restaurants I have visited, and I would highly recommend the experience to anyone. The "R&D" is superb- always experimenting with new additions. I just tried their new burgers, beats Hero Burger by a landslide. I am *NOT EXAGGERATING*! If you like Hero Burger, I'll tell you it's a disappointment compared to Kara Mia's new burger additions. Also, try their baby-back ribs. I thought my mom's home-cooked ribs were a classic- well these are just as good! I also enjoyed their Meat Lover's Lasagna, the sauce has a distinctive flavor. And their Pina Colada is wow- me and my bros have been trying to create the perfect Pina Colada for a while and have not come close to the one served at Kara Mia; you can actually taste the coconut and pineapple mingle. Authentic flavors, and reasonably priced for the quality served. Worth it. Go! |

| ★★★★★ We discovered Kara Mia about two years ago when I moved here from Ottawa. It was a hitting a jack pot feeling for me and my several friends. To us, it is the best gift Toronto has to offer!
We have been to both the locations several times and have thoroughly enjoyed the Kara Mia experience!
When we first visited Kara Mia Mississauga back in 2009, we were so happy that finally we have a place who offers food for the second generation at very affordable prices, a 10 oz Halal AAA sirloin for
Just $ 19.99?, where can you find a Halal steak for this price. FYI, non Halal restaurants offer the same size steaks at min $ 25+ onwards!
I was so surprised to see people making statements here about this place being expensive, quantity not being enough blah blah blah. No offence but let me make it easy for these people. If you are NKB (nan/kebob/briyani) comparison mentality, then this place is not for you. You will for sure find this place expensive. At least I know this much, when you cook fresh food without any tenderizer especially steaks, it takes minimum 20-25 mins ez. Something like fillet mignon, min 30 mins! That’s when the appetizer come in handy!
This is not a zoo like takeout/self serve kebob or briyani place where you get treated like thugs and given heavily tenderized low quality meats or frozen/precooked to micro waved food etc. Don’t trust me just go and visit them, there are plenty of them in the neighborhood!
In the meantime, we are heading to Kara Mia tonight to enjoy their famous BISTECA FUNGUI with grilled shrimps!
Way to go Kara Mia, keep it up!

| ★★★★★ I recently took a group of 22 people to this restaurant for a surprise party I was throwing for my fiancee and experienced the highest quality of service from the manager and wait staff. I arranged the party over email from Ottawa and had no trouble whatsoever. The manager emailed me back promptly, allowed me to create a custom menu, provided a group discount on appetizers and drinks and allowed me to request a certain seating area!
He was so kind and was at the restaurant making sure everything was perfect and went smoothly from the moment I arrived to set up the decorations (4pm) until the moment we left (11:30pm - we closed down the restaurant - everyone had such a good time!)
The food came out warm and fresh and tasted as good as it looked! Every single person in the party had a fantastic experience and said they hoped to return soon!
Thank you for such an incredible experience and helping make it so easy to plan a surprise party from 500km away in a different city!
The only slight negative was that some individuals who orderd pasta dishes with chicken found the chicken to be very little in their dishes. |

| ★★ Not a great experience:
- Felt like a ghost house, it was a Friday evening.
- Some dishes took 35 mins b4 served.
- As everyone has stated earlier, the food amount (including drinks) were not propionate.
- The food was expensive ($22 for that Fungus steak, sorry I don't even remember the spellings).
- Someone below advised not to sit close to the wind/door. Well I was on the table at the very other side, and still it was chilly.
Bottom line: not so tasty food and neither the price was right. |

| ★★★★★ I had an engagement dinner this past weekend at this lovely and cozy place and everything went as planned. The staff put out lovely candles, the manager gave me a special party menu for the guests, and the food was great. All of my guests loved the food and half of them didn't even know the place existed until they received my party invitation. Many, including myself will be returning to this wonderful restaurant that combines fine dining and halal under one roof. :) |

The food is amazing, especially their delicious safron sauce (i recommend it), their service is great, the environment is very enjoyable and relaxing and it is overall a great experience everytime i go! People who disagree with me usually set their expectations too high, and need to realize we are lucky to have an option like this! |

Cons: Prices are absurd. Portions are average. Together, this means poor value for money. Also, if you go in the winter, sit away from the windows, gets chilly.

| ★★★★★ Excellent food, great service! Steaks as usual were great, but especially loved their focaccia bread and the almond cheesecake - unbelievably good Alhamdolillah. And best of all, it is HALAL and not partially-halal or the maple-lodge-halal or the halal-with-alcohol, none of that nonsense that plagues halal restaurants today! Highly recommended. |

| ★★★★★ We have been going to Kara Mia since they opened their first location in Vaughan in 2006 and it has always been a great experience!
Since we live in Mississauga, we now go to this location and I must say they have really seasoned themselves well in the last two years!
We were greeted by a charming server to a nearly packed place!
We were served (on the house) with hot & fresh home baked Focaccia bread which is a wonderful addition!
They had a couple of specials over the weekend (I believe items from their new dinner menu arriving soon we were told) , so we decided to try, I ordered a rack of ribs with French Fries and opted for soup of the day as a side item with the ribs. It was lentil & spinach and it was simply fantastic! My friend ordered their newly upgraded “chicken stir fry” and he was really impressed since it had plenty of fresh peppers and other vegetables topped with fresh sesame seeds, I could only smell sitting next to him as my own hands ( mouth too) were totally full with succulent meat of ribs! My friend who was visiting from Calgary tried BBQ steak and was extremely impressed with the quality of meat and crunchy French fries and fresh vegetables it came with!
Service was prompt and courteous and I looked really good in front of my visiting friend, ahemmm!
Now let me quickly comment on some of the reviews I am seeing here, people talking about pricey, not fresh blah blah…... Hey guys what world are you living in??. Have you ever gone to or seen menu from other steak houses? Find me another place serving AAA sirloin under $ 20.00?, never mind the Halal factor!
I guess the problem is that people start comparing place like Kara Mia with desi joints and don’t realize that this cuisine is a different cuisine and not only requires high grade ingredients & meat products but requires professional chefs to prepare! In all fairness, they are at least 25% cheaper than main stream comparable restaurants!
Of course since it is “ala cart” cooking, sometimes things don’t turnout the way you expect but they have been always very prompt to tweak the dish to suit your taste! You know when server comes back after serving the food to see how is everything?, that’s when you need to SPEAK UP guys and give your HONEST feedback!
Keep up the good work guys at Kara Mia, finally a place for those WHO GET IT!

| ★ They claim to serve "fresh food", it's not fresh at all. It's pretty much all reheated (chicken, vegetables, potatoes). Prices are absurd for the quality of food. There is no shortage of halal restaurants in Peel, do yourself a favour and find another! |

| ★ I have been many times to Kara Mia at the Vaughan Mills location, but, it's been awhile since I went, it's alittle high end so we usually only go on special ocassions. This was my first time at the Misissuaga location. We ordered a pasta, which was so-so; nothing overly special and a T-bone steak. The homemade sauce looked and tasted like HP, the 'bed of vegetable' was a sad looking piece of broccoli, cauliflower and three round carrots. The roast potato did not look like something that's been cooked today and the actual meat was so chewy and fatty that we couldn't eat large chunks of it. I realise prices are increasing, but, this is a sad way to cut costs. For the $20 + tax that the steak cost me, my husband and I spent the ride home discussing better ways to spend the money. Sorry, Kara Mia you may have saved money, but, it'll be me that will be saving it from now on, since, I doubt you'll get me through your doors again. |

| ★ I have attended their location in Vaughan and was happy with the food and prices, BUT when I attended in Mississauga as this is now closer to me I was vey disappointed with their pirices at this location it`s too HIGH, how come the Peppercorn Steak is cheapper in Vaughan and in Mississauga it`s over $17,00 why does this owner think we in Mississauga the people have more money to spend, I would think in todays economy many resturants are reducing their prices for the consumer, my main point is again why is there a differnce in prices between the two locations for the SAME exact dishes?????? |

I visited Kara Mia for the first time on their anniversary and had a wonderful experience... the food was phenomenal and the service was friendly and accomodating.

I come from an Italian background and must say, the food lives up to Italian cuisine standards. |

As for the food, it has always been the best and freshest. Me and wifey love the Peppercorn Steak nice place to bring guest. |

| NR RESPONSE TO ALMASF REVIEW
Dear brother/sister, At Kara Mia, we take customer concerns very seriously. We have been doing our best to run this unique but very demanding business since 2006 with full honesty and integrity and Alhamdulillah, have earned a reputable name in the market place.
I have investigated your last experience at our restaurant and would like to mention that the response to our Iftari buffet dinner has been overwhelming so far since the buffet is very reasonably priced and kids under 6 eat for free (your party consisted of 7 adults and 7 kids). The whole idea behind the buffet service is to offer food that is readily available for fast breaking, not to make a healthy profit!
Being Italian food (unlike the curries and briyanis) our food needs to be cooked fresh, even for the buffet and sometimes it can result in a slight delay for certain dishes. However, there are other items on the buffet that are always available.
With reference to service issues, we take pride in providing excellent service. We do not claim to be perfect, however, we always have a supervisor or manager on the floor who is more than happy to address any service or quality related issues.
I have spoken to the server about the billing error. Since you requested a split bill (something that we usually do not do), it resulted in the unintended error which was fixed immediately. Of course, bills are always presented to customers for reviewing prior to payment. We have been unintentionally short changed several times by customers but giving the benefit of doubt, as we all should do, we have always resolved the situation amicably.
Re prayer area, we are a restaurant and not a mosque. The place allocated for prayer can not always be large enough to comfortably accommodate all of our worshipping guests. However, people have always appreciated the space we provide for prayer, which is a private (closed door) prayer area not a hall way. Any clean place can be a place of worship.
I hope I have addressed all your concerns, if not, you are welcome to email us. We look forward to your next visit at Kara Mia, inshaAllah.
Kind Regards,
Owner

| ★★★★★ We arranged our Iftar party for our family and friends over the weekend and mashaAllah it was one great experience!
We were really happy to find dates and water on every table to break fast and the best part, an isolated area to pray maghrib so we did not have miss the prayer.
Food was very fresh and kept coming out of the kitchen as the place was quite full.
Kids loved the pizzas!
However, I was sad to see people wasting so much food, like there was no tomorrow.
Service was great considering it was a buffet set up where only limited service is needed by the servers.
Thanks Kara Mia for such a great Iftari dinner.

| ★ We went to Kara Mia for iftar in Ramadan, and it was awful. We've been to the restaurant many times before and we've been happy with the food but this time- The service was bad, the food was cold, The refilling of the buffet took 25 minutes, the "prayer area" was the hallway, the buffet didn't even have dessert and to top it all off they over charged us by $40. I recommmed not going to Kara Mia in Ramadan, and if you want to, do yourself a favour and order off the menu and double check your bill. |

| ★★★★ Considering this place serving Halal food, I must say that Kara Mia has been my choice of dining with family and frieds. From their appetizers to their BBQ T-bone steaks, and all the way to the cocktails, every item has a great taste. I might agree on the fact that on few occasions the steaks did not taste as good as everytime I've been there, but overall a place I'd recommend to go to. |

| ★★★ I last visited Karamia last week with a group of friends. The restaurant was nicely decorated and the service was very quick, but I must say that I was disappointed with the quality in the food. Like the location in Vaughan, the quality of the food has deteriorated since they first opened up a few years back and its very inconsistent. Ive eaten many many times at Karamia and I probably wouldnt eat there again. |

| ★★★★★ Menu Choices and Quality are Excellent and unique to a halal restaurant. Delicious Entrees and Desserts. A great place to take the family out.
The service can be improved, but appreciated the Head Chef / Owner venturing into the dining area and getting feedback (almost every single time I have been there).
Recommendation:
- Peppercorn Steak
- Chicken Parmesan
P.S. And now they have specials during the wkdays, with an Entree & a salad or dessert. |

| ★★★★★ Prayers have been answered ! Finally, a high quality halal Italian restaurant in GTA. The food is excellent, the service is great, the ambiance is amazing. I just hope they don't take their customers for granted and deteriorate on quality as many other halal restaurants do. The presentation of the food is also quite impressive.
The mouthwatering steaks are to die for !
Definitely recommended. |
