Kama in Calgary

Okay YUM! That is all you need to know! Kama was VERY good! The food was delicious, the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere even tho a slow lunch was perfect. I am so glad I finally got it to try this restaurant and I will 100% go back. Get the Brussels. Maybe the best Brussels I ve had in YYC. Crunchy and the perfect balance. The beef tartare was also a surprising variation but SO GOOD. The chicken souvlaki with the beignets was the perfect finale. You must eat here.

Excellent service and the food was delicious. We will definitely be back. Nice touch with the birthday card too! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options available

We had the potatoes, pork, the duck, and the chicken souvlaki on Dec 6th. All meat dishes were extremely overcooked. Flavour was pretty good but sadly the chicken souvlaki was entirely inedible. Cost us $150 too which is a kicker when the potatoes and tzatziki were the only enjoyable parts.

Sorry to leave a bad review but my honest feedback is that the food/drinks are not very good and really overpriced. I was surprised because reviews are very good, dishes all looked very nice, and it was busy. The dishes all tasted kind of bland and nothing particularly stood out. There wasn t anything that I felt was very tasty and wanted to keep eating. My drink tasted like I was drinking tzatziki lol, although I sent it back and they didn t charge me which I appreciate a lot. We ordered 6 appetizers/small plates + 2 cocktails and it came out to $180 for 2 people (including tip). The service was friendly and atmosphere was warm, however I am chapped about the price given the quality and wouldn t come back. Sorry!

We came on a Wednesday night so it was quiet which was what we wanted. Food was delicious, I tried the Bianca Negroni and it was tasty but on the sweet side for me. Brussel sprouts and scallops were to die for. I wasn t a huge fan of the halloumi but only because the texture was odd for me. Not because of preparation technique or flavours. I would definitely return to try more dishes!

We were recently at a company Christmas party and the entire staff were excellent in managing my food allergies. While serving hors d oeuvres, the staff would seek me out in the crowd to notify what was safe and what to avoid. An excellent event with very professional and attentive staff.

LOVED this place! What a great experience! Celebrated a new Canadian event with a friend & the staff treated us so wonderfully! Very classy .thank you! Food : 5/5

Absolutely delicious food! It never fails to impress every time we visit. The service is consistently excellent, and the portion-to-price ratio is spot on. Just thinking about the souvlaki with feta donuts and the mushroom gnocchi makes my mouth water simply wow!

Our server was great, totally attentive and kind. Our food was great as well. The only thing I would say is our last dish, we shared so ordered a few, came out super behind. It felt odd to get the broccolini when we were almost done. However it was a super enjoyable evening and we will be back.

AMAZING!!!!! Spanikopita, pork belly, chick peas, focaccia and salmon were absolutely delicious!!! Very cool decor and awesome staff!!!

We checked out Kama for girls night. It was amazing. We ordered Grilled halloumi, chickpea focaccia, pork belly, brussel sprouts, red beets, gnocchi, broccolini, tomato and heart of palm salad, chili prawns and chicken souvlaki. Everything was great. Pork belly, gnocchi and brussel sprouts were my favorites. It was a very busy evening but our server (Jess F) was super attentive. We were super impressed with how she made sure to check on us regularly and legit filled our waters over 10 times. I have never been so hydrated in my life. Thanks for the great evening Jess! We will definitely be back!! Vegetarian options: We had a vegetarian friend with us and there were many options for her

Very warm and cozy feeling restaurant with great food. Chicken souvlaki with honey beignets is really good Parking: Street parking is free after 6 and Sunday. Kid-friendliness: It is not very enjoyable place for kids.

It was good

Went for dinner, the decoration and atmosphere was very welcoming. It smelled like barbecue when you walk in. There we a couple of servers the one that walked us to our table seem very nice, while the one that was taking of us was nice but we had the feeling she didnt want to serve us. We order the drinks and food - the food came out before the drinks which is not great and on top of that one of the cocktail was the wrong one. Drank a little bit and it did not take like what I order, they changed it without a problem but we never heard a sorry from the server and in our bill it showed the other drink so she made the mistake ordering that one. The food was ok a little bit pricy for the quantity and quality. The bread was amazing, the home made gnocchi and the chorizo is really good quality which its hard to find outside Spain. When we wanted more drinks the server would just not come by and check on us - it was not very busy so it was hard to understand. The last thing, when we were going to order dessert we were talking with her asking her some questions and all of a sudden she turned around and started paying attention to another table and left us speaking alone. It was very rude. If the service would have been better, I think I can give it a higher rate but I read comments where they had similar experiences, so its important for them to check on the service a bit more. I would give it a second chance with a different server. I would recommend it but good luck with the server you get.

Amazing cocktails and food!

Amazing food, space & staff! Loved our experience. Highly recommend getting the chocolate dessert, it was delicious!

The people here knock it out of the park. Our host, she was absolutely incredible! Nadine was absolutely a jem to be around and made it so much fun and such incredible people skills. Then theres the rest of the staff, amazing!!!! It was our anniversary and they made us a lil card with all these hand written notes in and we just felt so loved on and it absolutely made our night. The people made this the best experience. The food was delicious too! But I hope yall get raises cuz you guys are incredible. There is a lot of places that you can find good food, but incredible staff like the people here? That makes it unique and knocks it out of the park! Will be a lasting memory for my husband and I and will be back!

Totally in love with this place , interior is amazing , as well as food, and service was outstanding , thanks !

Celebrated friendsgiving tonight and Jenn was the greatest took really great care of us and was literally the sweetest 10/10 would come back!

Hosted a dinner-presentation in their private room and everything was perfect. Jenn, our waitress, provided an outstanding service and the food was delicious. The communication with the restaurant to organize the event was also fantastic! Dietary restrictions: Many vegetarians and halal dishes available.

The experience was so amazing. We stopped in for a quick bite between shows and were blown away! The 5 star rating under values the whole package.

Wonderful food! My complements to the chef. The waiter was knowledgeable, efficient and very friendly. Highly recommend

Restaurant so delicious I went there 2 days in a row to try the whole menu. Excellent service, delicious recipes, awesome atmosphere. Special thanks to Noah for the Gnocchis !! Will visit again ASAP. Thanks Kama Food

Everything was nice. I would say i wish they had more options gor people who are not huge seafood explorers. The souvlaki had 2 or 3 sweet breads which were not something that would really go well with the souvlaki. Maybe a not sweet bread and some potatos instead lf those sweet breads wouldve made it way better

Food taste was good enough but the portion was way too small for the price, the server doubled my order on two items because we had 6 people, which I didnt realize until the bill came. Not a good value for a family dining experience.

One of the best restaurants in the city that s for sure. It s one of those rare places that truly feels real. It s not some corporation trying to serve you in a way it thinks you like, it s a truly unique place with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It s independently owned and operated, they do such an incredible job and make amazing food with a very good drinks list. This is the place.

Those honey feta beignets are the best things I have ever put in my mouth in my entire life

Weve been here for both a lunch date on the patio and a dinner date inside, and both visits were amazing. Kama has a very neat asthetic and the food and drinks are delicious. If youre looking for a new Mediterranean restaurant, check this place out!

Insane interior, Lebanese inspired cuisine was such a nice surprise. Top notch restaurant experience

Delicious food, lovely staff, great atmosphere. Will def visit again when visiting Calgary

Hands down, my favourite new restaurant! We were warmly welcomed upon arrival. Our table wasnt quite ready, but the assistant general manager made sure we were taken care of with some complimentary bubbles. Our server did a fantastic job of describing the menu and giving us an idea of how many plates we should order for our group size, his guidance was spot on. Every dish we had was delicious, and Id have them all again: Spanakopita (as a person who grew up on this stuff, this was as legit as it gets), Grilled Halloumi, Chickpea Focaccia, Broccoli and Turkish Street Prawns. I saw a neighbouring table order the Chicken Souvlaki, and I will be returning for that alone. I knocked one star off of service only because once we asked for the bill, we felt abandoned by our server even though the restaurant had died down by this point. We couldnt see any reason why it took him so long to return, so we had to wave the manager down so we could pay up. Aside from that minor inconvenience, I highly recommend Kama.

Sat at the bar and loved the entire experience

Kama is not just a beautiful restaurant it s seriously delicious! So much so that I had to visit twice in two weeks. There is a great variety of food options (lots of sharing plates which is preferable for group dining). The drinks are also perfectly balanced. Lots of non-alcoholic options too which is amazing for designated drivers. The staff are all super friendly and provide excellent service. It s my new favourite spot!

The portion was very small even though the server insisted that it was shareable. It was so expensive for this portion.They just charged for atmosphere Food

SUPER pretty place!! Great atmosphere. Also the waitstaff was super personable, and everytime one of us got up to use the restroom, they came and folded our napkins????? Like what a dream come true. ALSO they gave me a signed card for my birthday just for funsies and I loved that. Food was amazing, get the octopus and halloumi those were my favorite.

Dinner was amazing Service was great Loved the ambiance Recommended dishes ZaAtar Chicken, Grilled Halloumi

Hey guys, Just wanted to share some feedback on our lunch: The Good: Nice atmosphere. Clean, nice layout. Nice concept for the menu. Good plating. The Bad: Poor service. One of the people walked away every time he started speaking so that the last half of his sentences trailed into the distance. The other one seemed to have zero interest in being there at all. Just a very cold experience overall. It took over an hour for all our food to come, and the food came in a weird order so that we got a beet salad last after everything else. The servers offered little apology for anything, saying it was busier than a normal Monday. The restaurant was only a third full. Honestly the impression I got was that the servers really did not want to be servers. And that s ok, except they are. If you re gonna be doing that maybe just show the bare minimum? Especially if the food is so late? Like why not offer to remove the four dollar bread from the bill or something. Literally the server didn t even do the BARE minimum where they go you guys have anything else planned for today? The food itself was under seasoned, weird, and boring, especially at the price. Who wants to eat beef tartar with lettuce? You need something cooked like a chip or bread to compliment the raw. The flavours added to tartare should enhance the flavours of the beef: mustard, pickles, etc. Harissa overpowered it and got in the way. Who wants grapes with scallops? The scallop dish was seriously so so bad. Sour, odd flavour notes and my gf said it s the worst dish she s had all year. Nothing had enough salt other than the halloumi cheese which is naturally very salty. The only dish we weren t able to try was the beet salad since we had to take that to go due to the long wait. I m writing this in the car on the way home cause I m so disappointed in this place. I m hoping we just came on an off day. Maybe the service and food is usually better.

Food and drinks were delicious as usual. I try to make a stop here every time I m in Calgary. Food

This was a meal of pure joy. My wife wanted to go here. When she said it was Mediterranean, I admit I wasnt thrilled. Thats not one of my favorite styles of food. But every dish we had was an outstanding spin on Mediterranean cuisine. The service was excellent, the food came quickly, and it had a nice vibe for a lunch date. I highly recommend the grilled halloumi and the potato gems.

Amazing food, great service

Best restaurant in the city. Food is amazing, servers are hot, atmosphere is great

Best chicken souvlaki have ever had. Service was incredible.

Some of the best food ive ever had in Calgary! The shrimp was amazing and every dish we had tasted incredible.

Was suggested by a friend. We arrived for an early reservation, only four to five other tables were seated. We ordered within ten minutes, and first dish was around twenty minutes to arrive, entire meal was around an hour. Ordered four plates. Popcorn octopus -Bland, not seasoned, the okra was the most flavorful and seasoned part, but was cooked to burnt husks Zucchini Latkes - vierge was nothing like a vierge, contained none of the ingredients, and a pile of diced cucumber was presented instead. Latkes were burnt and bitter Pan seared Halibut cheeks -Halibut was bland, no seasoning. The Agnolotti was tasty though. Lamb Saltimbocca -red wine jus was a bitter burnt flavor, and lingered to ruin anything else it touched. Artichoke was seasoned and interesting. Lamb was tough and chewy. Dishes looked nice, but were bland, unseasoned, or burnt. The atmosphere was as exciting as a commercial unit painted flat black can be, so currently trendy but unmemorable. Service was fine, no complaints, she was as effective as she could be with the tools they have supplied. Not a good value, not good food, not worth remembering, save your time+money for somewhere else.

The atmosphere and interior was amazing, and our server Angelina, was nice and came by often even though it was quite busy. Most of the food was great, except maybe for the lamb, which was quite chewy and a bit weird tasting. The washroom was kept quite clean. Food

One of our fave cheffy places to dine and drink in town. Super interesting spirits menu, especially agave spirits. Always great service.

The food is just fantastic! We ordered a bunch of stuff and everything was perfect! Great service and very relaxing atmosphere.

Loved loved the food at kama! The service was great too. I loved their halloumi and prawn dish. I ended up being there on Friday night when there was a DJ. Personally it was a bit loud for me as I was sitting right next to the speakers but the ambiance and food was making up for it! I highly recommend trying it out.

Excellent! Very good food, great staff and lovely atmosphere. Can t wait to return!

My family and I attended Kama last night for the first time. We truly enjoyed our experience. Our server was friendly and did a great job introducing us to the menu, giving us direction on portion sizes, and suggestions on how much to order. The food was outstanding. But what truly stood out was how each and every one of the staff members were friendly, making jokes, and engaged with our table. We had a wonderful time and will be coming back soon!

Loved this restaurant. Good was fantastic.

Tyler elevated the entire experience, right from the start he was attentive and provided great suggestions. When we explained some of the top dishes, he did an amazing job at breaking down each dish and was very clearly knowledge and passionate. The food was excellent but Tylers service truly made this an elevated experience.

Food was great - service even better. Very accommodating to a few allergies and restrictions we had around the table. The halloumi and the Turkish street prawns were my favourite.

Disappointing this time. Food quality (and portion size) have decreased:(. Broccoli dish ($18) was barely warm and lack luster. I was happy to see Branzino ($44) added to the menu but felt that the toppings overpowered the small portion of fish. On previous visits the food, service, and drinks were better.

I had the 5-course YYC EXP meal. Food was delicious and service was amazing. Wasnt a fan of the churros, but thats because I prefer fluffy insides and these were custardy. Still, I appreciate the care and thoughtfulness put into the taste and presentation of each dish.

Kama is such a great spot if youre looking for vibes/ambiance, great food (highly recommend the seared scallops and gorgonzola potato gnocchi!), and delicious cocktails. Joel, the manager, was very accommodating of our large group size and reservation requests which helped make our celebration even better.

Had an excellent lunch here. Food, service and atmosphere were all amazing! I especially loved the grilled halloumi.

Fastest service I ve ever had in my life. Great vibes and friendly staff. Very unique, flavourful options. Loved the pork belly. Vegetarian options: So many delicious vegetarian options available.

Came for EXP Calgary 5-course meal. Portion sizes were generous (two EXP meals were too much for us) but overall left us kinda feeling unimpressed. For the dishes themselves: Seeded Chickpea Panelle sauces were not to our liking. Turkish Street Prawns weren t beyond anything you ve had elsewhere (like a Sobey s freezer). Grilled Halloumi and Green Beans were standout and had solid flavours, but for the price if *green beans* are your hit, the menu could use some pizzaz. Overall, so-so. Service was quite poor - no check-in s about the quality of dishes, or ANY conversation until the bill, really. Felt like we were an afterthought (and it wasn t a busy night) to the server. Expect a 15-20 min wait between courses for the EXP experiences. Atmosphere was nice, and changes over to nightclub vibes later in the evening.

We hosted a friends birthday here on very short notice - management was so lovely and accommodating during booking even though we were trying to get a reservation for 15 people on a Friday night with two days notice (very annoying of us!). The actual experience was even better. The small tapas style plates are great for group dining, our servers were amazing and attentive and the cocktail menu was fun and accessible. I would definitely recommend Kama or host other events such a work event here again.

Roland is the man! Come for the food, stay for Roland! Exceptional service, & a really chill atmosphere. Food is excellent, something for everyone. 5/5 check it out

They have an ingenious way to increase revenue. The meal is divided up into many small portions each at price similar to a meal, so you need to order several increasing the amount you pay. We ordered several dishes, the food is very good, the service is excellent. The prices are too high for the size of the portions. The draught beer is priced high for a small glass that came with excessive foam, and the wine is overpriced. Our total cost for two people was similar to the cost for four at other restaurants.

Had most of the menu that was part of the YYC Exp event, which included kofta, broccoli, shrimp, grilled halloumi, green beans, and a few other dishes. The pricing is on the higher end - and so are the expectations. The plating presentation of the food was decent. A lot of the dishes tasted just fine - none that stood out as great. They were all missing a little something in their execution - whether it was seasoning, freshness, or flavor profile. In terms of portions, it was on the smaller end as part of a tasting menu. Service was friendly and reasonably attentive.

Had the gnocchi, fantastic! Tasty and a great blend of flavors. Had the foccacia, again a nice complicated blend of flavors. Had a few other plates as well, all with their own pique. Great and pleasant service from everyone we met there. Will definitely go there again!

One of the best restaurants in the city. An amazing vibe, upmarket and sophisticated, everything about this place says class. An incredible menu of Mediterranean, tapas and small plates + huge sharing plates. The pork belly is to die for. Our server, Julie, was very attentive, she was fun, and she was part of a great experience. Javen (manager?) came over to chat to us to make sure everything was perfect. They are a locally owned business so give them a try, you wont be disappointed.

We had a wonderful dinner at Kama! This restaurant serves some delicious and healthy food made from fresh ingredients. You can see a variety of ingredients used on each plate and the colours were vibrant enough to whet one s appetite. We ordered a few dishes to try 1. Grilled Halloumi, Pomegranate & Fresh Mint 2. Pork Belly, Sherry Piquillo Honey & Peanuts 3. Harissa Beef Tartare, Baby Romaine, Asiago & Smoked Paprika Crumb 4. Seared Scallops, Fregula Pasta with Pancetta, Corn & Saffron 5. Green Beans, Apricot, Hazelnut & Goat Cheese 6. Harissa Cauliflower, Sunflower Dukkah, Raisin Marmalade & Whipped Feta 7. Sobrasada, Belgian Endive & Manchego Everything tasted amazing! Fresh, delicious and appetizing too! Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible parking lot, entrance, seating and washroom available.

This place is amazing. The food is super tasty and affordable. the service is great for me. The music is a bit loud.

The food is good, the drinks are tasty. However, they are quite expensive for what you get. Buying many small plates in a group setting can add up a lot, especially when youre not usually paying attention while in said large group. Service is good, they try to work with you to make sure you get what you want. Music can be loud for decent conversation though.

Our experience was incredible! Julie was our server and she offered the most amazing selections and made our night so special. I can t wait to visit again soon!

Julie, our server, was outstanding!!! The food, service and atmosphere was amazing! Thank you for a wonderful evening,

Kama is fantastic ! Julie is a friendly and knowledgeable server. Our experience high quality and a joy!

Already planning my next visit. Exceptional menu - variety and flavors - service was high touch and the vibe on Friday night was amazing.

What a fantastic meal! Great service from the moment we walked through the door! Food was exceptional and the sharing plates let us try a little of everything The atmosphere & vibe will definitely bring me back! Do yourself a favour and book a reservation!

The food is out of this world delicious! We had our server surprise us and we were blown away dish after dish. If you re into that sort of thing, 1. Request for Kyle as your server and 2. Ask him to surprise you with his picks. This is our new go to place, it exceeded our expectations. I mention Kyle because he was fantastic, if you get him as your server, expect a 10/10 experience.

Went to Kama for the first time last night and was extremely satisfied with our dining experience! A great vibe, awesome service and outstanding food. Will definitely be back!!

My partner and I had the most wonderful dining experience at Kama. From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the beautiful ambiance, which set the perfect tone for our evening. The food was absolutely divine; every dish was bursting with flavor, and we couldnt stop raving about how delicious each bite was. What truly made our experience exceptional was the outstanding service provided by our server Will - his warmth and professionalism added an extra layer of enjoyment to our experience! Highly recommend!

The service and atmosphere were great. The food was very average. Kind of disappointed.

Not sure how this restaurant only has a 4.6 star review cause its amazing! Definitely deserves a 5 star! You can tell that they put a lot of heart and soul into their dishes cause every single one was delicious and well presented. The service exceeded my expectations. Very friendly staff. I absolutely love the decor and atmosphere there. The dishes we tried were so good we had to come back to try the rest of them. Kama is now on my top 5 favorite restaurants. Well be back!!

Portions are small, location is inconvenient, price is too big. Steak tastes gamy, their lamb tastes like meatballs, hoolmi tastes like tofu, pork belly was half a small plate, better places to go to on a night out.

Excellent food. Great for vegetarians in our party as well.

Service and atmosphere was very good. Resturant is nice too. Some of the small plates (lamb merghaz, prawns) were very nice. The main chicken souvlaki dish lacked flavor. The food in my opinion is not the best, other restaurants much better in the city.

I actually enjoyed this place s music, interior design, service, vibes, and food. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves a good vibe and vegetarian options. Their Polenta Lasagna was amazing and every cocktail we had was quite delicious. I would come back here again with friends! Vegetarian options: It s quite good since they have a lot of options which I enjoyed

Outstanding food. We were a group of eight and we tried about nine different dishes. All were fantastic. Will definitely return and highly recommend.

Our bartender and waiter, Will was soo sweet and amazing. He made us customized drink and had an amazing positive energy.

My partner and I had an absolutely amazing Valentines date at Kama! The ambience, the food, the service - everything was nothing short of excellent. We loved the beet salad and the salmon, and definitely enjoyed the wine the waiter has recommended. Oh the waiter (I didnt catch their name but they had an Aussie accent) - seriously, give them a promotion. Incredibly friendly and easygoing person who did their best to recommend the best dishes from the menu.

Those Lamb Koftas and Chicken souvlaki was amazing!! We are surely coming back Loved everything about this place!!

This is my second visit in 3 weeks. The first time the service wasn t very good but the food was amazing so I thought I would give it another try. This time the service was exceptional!! Tyler went above and beyond to make sure our evening was the best!! for Tyler too

Beautiful restaurant with interesting and delicious plates. The service is fantastic too

Great Spanish fusion flavors. Nice service too. The decor is outstanding

Service was great, food was good. Very disappointed that all lamb dishes were mixed with pork as it wasnt listed on the menu.

Was a great night out sat at the bar top. Ordered lots of appies. They were good but heavy on the salt on a few items. Overall great places and good service. Only down side was the guy that puked outisde the front door lol

Had my birthday dinner last year at Kama. The service was phenomenal, and the staff really knew how to make you feel special! Everything was delicious from the food to the cocktails and dessert. Highly recommend for special occasions!

This place is incredible! We went here for my girlfriends birthday. The service was fast and friendly, the atmosphere is perfect, and the food...I couldnt say enough about it. Every bit was like heaven. We cant wait to go back because we had a difficult time picking and choosing what to order and theres more that wed like to try. Guaranteed this place will not disappoint! See you soon, Kama!

Myself and two friends shared a Friday dinner out, it was a fantastic location to have a relaxed dinner of shareable plates where you can catch up over long conversation and not feel pressured. The service from staff was the right amount and timely, and the dishes were the real star! We shared 6 plates and could not pick a favourite for the life of us, everything was exceptional. The staff (Joel) went above and beyond beforehand making sure that our reservation went just as planned, since we were celebrating my friend s engagement. Thank you for a great night out, KAMA!

Wow. This was a tantalizing experience. Food was incredible. Every dish popped with flavour. It was a little tough to hear light conversation. The setting and decor is comfortable and opulent! Cocktail and mocktail menu is well thought out and executed with precision. Thanks for a great night.

this is not aunthenic. feels more like western foods with a touch of mediterranean vibes...

We loved this restaurant! The service was excellent and the food even better. Each dish we enjoyed was beautifully prepared and the flavours were wonderful! The prices are reasonable as well. I highly recommend this restaurant.

High recommend! The atmosphere at Kamma was immaculate. Very laid back, and comfortable. The food turnaround time was a little longer than expected, but the flavours that melted on my tongue definitely made up for it. Not to mention, the drinks are strong, and delicious! The staff (hosts and server) were incredibly friendly, and attentive.

Really enjoyed everything we ate, not sure you can go wrong with any of the dishes on the menu

I absolutely love Kama. The atmosphere is out of this world beautiful and the food is delicious. Everything from cocktails to food is creative and fresh. The only minor complaint is food could be a bit bigger but I will definitely be back. I love how many unique dish choices there are. Yummy!! :) Vegetarian options: I love how many veggie options there are.

Omg everything was sooo good. From the food to the drinks, we were wanting more. It s hard to pick a favourite but the pork belly was unreal. Also the spritz was such a well balanced cocktail. So stoked to see another amazing restaurant open in Calgary and this one is in my top 10 FOR SURE. Thanks for helping make our little anniversary dinner a hit! Will definitely be back.

Beautiful decor, great atmosphere. This is definitely not Mediterranean food but pleasant to taste and share. The halloumi, octopus bites, burrata and lamb tagliatelle were all good but they are missing the WOW factor.

the flavours were all new to me so i don t really know i feel about it i was debating on sending it back the croquettes, beef tare tare is good tho cant mess that up. but i had an upset stomach later and so did everyone else in that bathroom that entered lol. water was the best thing tbh Vegetarian options: plentiful amount of vegetarian options

It is def one of the best dining experiences in Calgary. Great ambience but the food!!! Everything we had on the menu was amazing. It is small plate share style plates so you get to try a bit of everything. The service and managerial staff were the icing on the cake. Highly recommend.

What a gem. The food is phenomenal and the drinks are super unique and delicious. So much flavor in everything. Service and overall vibe are on point. We will be back!

Truly a beautiful space, our server was very friendly and well informed. Plating of all the dishes is exceptional. We had the 3 course prixe fix lunch that they were offering, an excellent value. So we got to sample 6 dishes this way, between us. Our favorite was the Lions Mane scaloppini - with a creative play on Cacio e Pepe using Celeriac. Very successful. Our least favorite was the pork belly, which was neither crispy nor tender - sadly. The Tuna was excellent, and the SemiFreddo was beautiful and yum. The Cheesecake cocktail was a winner- very creative. The open kitchen, which should be a positive, was not on this day.

This is my first time to eat Mediterranean cuisine. Every dish is simple but exquisite, and there will be unexpected rewards!

Amazing experience!! Joel is amazing!! And gave us an amazing experience!

Wow!! Never had such great food!

Really tasty food and awesome cocktails. The drinks were for some of the better ones I ve had in the city. For food we had the popcorn octopus, focaccia, fennel crusted tuna, duck confit orecchiette, harissa cauliflower, and arctic char. We had the olive oil cake for dessert - yum! The orecchiette and focaccia were our favourites. They are both so unique especially the focaccia because it brings a Turkish/Mediterranean twist to an Italian staple. The tuna and arctic char were a little lacking in flavour especially compared to the other dishes. Next time I would probably go with the lamb kofta or chicken instead. The service was good but at times we went extended periods without getting checked on. It is definitely on the more pricey side of things especially the cocktails ($17+) but these days what restaurant hasn t gotten expensive All in all a very enjoyable dining experience and would definitely recommend it to others.

Fantastic restaurant! The staff is amazing and the food and drinks are even better - easily one of my favorite spots in Calgary!

Epic. Absolutely delicious. Excellent vibe, beautiful interior design, and amazing food. Staff is professional and helpful, music is good and the right volume. Plates are all to share which makes for a fun dining experience. And the cocktails (and even the mocktails) are absolutely delicious. Will be back soon for sure. Favourites were the duck pasta, lamb kofta, and by far the Halloumi. Not huge fans of the popcorn octopus but lots of other people like it.

Such a wonderful place for friends gathering and food. Everything there was very delicious last night. The staff are amazing as well!! My friend says you guys deserve 7 stars.

Great Mediterranean food & wonderful service. Loved their duck pasta and mousse-like desserts. Food

Amazingly good . The desserts are even better. Best meal I have had in a while.

This restaurant is a must try . The flavour of all our small plates was wonderful and the presentation was spot on. We had a great table by the patio, which will be a great place to have some cocktails and appetizers once the weather cooperates. The staff were excellent. Our waitress was Kyla and she was very knowledgeable, attentive and sweet. The wine menu was good and showed very thoughtful choices. The overall atmosphere is very relaxing. I cant wait to go back.

I went to Kama last night for a dinner with a client and it was a great experience! Amanda was our server, she was kind and knowledgeable about the menu. She had great timing and knew when to interject and when to move along and come back later. We had the green beans, merguez croquettes, fennel seared tuna, lamb kofta, and duck orecchiette. Portions were perfect, not quite a tasting menu but a nice way to try many dishes. The food was all prepared well and great presentation. Flavours were nicely layered and didnt overpower one another, there were nice textural combinations in most of the dishes as well. To get 5 stars from me, every aspect has to be perfection and Kama isnt quite there. The bathroom is not in the restaurant, but down a mysterious hallway which doesnt feel very accessible. Theres also a lip around the tiling at the bar which I tripped over a little, and could be problematic for wheelchair users or people with mobility concerns. A good mix of low tables, booths and couches are accessible and very cozy. The design of the space felt fresh and inspired. The servers brought food in a well-paced manner but I often missed the tail end of them describing the food as they were already walking off before finishing speaking. I recognize kitchens are very hectic and fast-paced, but dont commit your staff to explaining the dish if they cant make the 30 seconds available to do so. Overall, Kama is a great place for a business dinner. I saw plenty of couples and friends as well, I could see myself returning for a date night. The menu has something for everyone and the ambience is lovely. Thanks, Kama!

Very impressive first impressions with the decor upon entering and being greeted. The staff were very friendly and attentive throughout. The food was packed full of flavour and the accompanying sauces highlighted each dish. The octopus bites were very tender and we enjoyed the mushroom and halloumi dish a lot. Nice to see the food can hold up to such a beautifully designed restaurant.

I dont think the good folks at KAMA are getting nearly enough credit for what they are pulling off there. They have really thrown together everything you are looking for in a night out: the room is stunning, the staff are all outstanding (especially the bartenders jeesh get those boys a bar-back) and the food menu is just a whos-who of absolute knock-outs. Your biggest issue at KAMA is the regret youll have from what you decided to save for next time. KAMA is without a doubt my favorite place in Calgary so far, and is making something very difficult look effortless.

So good!

Great ambience, food and service. Great attention to detail by the chef & service staff. Well be back.

Great decor, service was top notch very knowledgeable staff. It is a loud restaurant great for groups.

Really spacious open layout with lots of real estate between tables. Comfortable seating. Acoustics are really nice and its not loud. I do love the open space and the bar in the middle. And the modern turkish ambience is tasteful. Service was just excellent. We had 4 people service us through the dinner. All were upbeat, professional and friendly. It was a 36th anniversary and at the conclusion we were given a card that was signed by all the staff that evening. Talk about service. We ordered a combination of tapas, small plates and shared a main. First thing to note is it was super fast. Have a look at the kitchen window and youll see a small army of cooks and another small army of staff at the window waiting for dishes from the kitchen to deliver promptly to your table. The food was excellent. Pork belly was so good. Sweet and savory and crunchy. Lamb Kofta was spiced just right and the sumac yogurt was a great foil. Crispy brussel sprouts were so tasty. The arctic char was what I would call MODERN RUSTIC MEDITERRANEAN. I would love to try the steak next time.

Food was SO good, service was attentive and friendly (S/O to Cooper!), and the space is PERFECTION (S/O to Amanda Hamilton Interior Design!). Defs going back!

We were very impressed with Kama s decor, food, and staff. They were very accommodating as we requested for a small private gathering. The flavours were delicious and I m so glad we stumbled upon this restaurant. Definitely a must visit and we will be back. Thank you!

Excellent Mediterranean restaurant

Food is excellent. Love the ambience- super nice decor/design. Service also great. Cant wait to return.

Excellent food and service

So friendly

Such a great find!

Restaurants like Kama are really taking Calgarys restaurant scene to another level! The food was absolutely delicious and done perfectly!

Wow!!!, Yes, that is how Im starting this review because this was a whole experience that blew out minds. Instead of having two main or large dishes we decided to have four small dishes and two starters. And let me tell you that was a great choice. We started with the Orecchiette, moved on to the Lamb kafta, then the Brussel Sprouts, the Turkish prawns, pork belly, and the scallopinni. When we thought we were done we decided to try the semi Fredo. Each dish was unique, rich in flavour, complex, perfectly balanced, fantastic texture, and simply delicious. It is incredible what they have been able to accomplish here, and I truly hope they can keep going, and make this a staple place in our city. Jenna and Javen treated us like Royalty and had the perfect recommendations for us. We will be coming back as it is simply one of the best restaurants in the city.

On our second visit within a year, I give Kama a solid 4 for a more pricey restaurant. Food: The flavors were less impressive on a second visit, with some standouts and misses. The star is the Lemon Semi Freddo dessert (5/5). Brussel Sprouts and Lamb Kofta were great (4/5). Pan Roasted Chicken and Arctic Cod large plates were good but average for finer dining (3/5). Duck Confit Orecchiette was a sloppy mess (1/5) and felt like it was made from leftovers. Service: Waitress was attentive and timely, however didnt seem to appreciate our questions on the menu. Standard its all good answer (when thats really rarely the case). We may give it another try if they revisit the menu and as long as the Lemon Semi Freddo is still there!

Best spanakopita Ive ever had in my life! This restaurant is a vibe! You wont be disappointed! Vegetarian options: Spanakopita Grilled Halloumi

Such a stunning restaurant. I would go back for a mocktail alone, but the tapas and plates were delicious.

Walked in Friday night with no reservation about 15 mins before the kitchen closed and they still accommodated us. We had the kofte, chicken and croquettes. So so juicy, tender and spiced right. We didn t get any cocktails but they looked wonderful. Definitely good for 2-5 people.

Excellent food, mellow environment that encourages chat among family and friends.

Delicious food, great cocktails. I definitely recommend this place. Going with more than 2 people is best since it is tapas style, you can order a variety and try a bunch of different dishes.

Not sure how I feel about this.

Very overrated place.

A really unique atmosphere and love the shareable style dishes. The food was all very flavorful and some dishes were outstanding! Our only gripe was the chicken and lamb seemed to be a bit dry. Would definitely try again!

Very impressed by the food quality, taste, and presentation. Excellent service, amazing decor, and delightful atmosphere. Highly recommend!

This is a very good spot for dine-in. Service is exceptional, and the food quality is great. The ambience is also very nice, great interior. I always take friends there who are visiting Calgary from somewhere else and theyve always loved it.

Really nice and beautiful decor, perfect to take photos. The food is just ok. No dishes are surprised me . The taste of the dishes can not attract us to come back again. The popcorn octopus is not good at all.

Great food and atmosphere. Definitely a sharing plates style to taste everything.

The atmosphere and service was absolutely amazing. However, the food is just mediocre and doesnt have anything standing out. It also took a while for what we ordered to come out, and it came out one plate at a time, with about 10 minutes in between each dish arriving. It wouldve been better if multiple plates came out all at once so we could enjoy everything at once.

My husband and I hosted our wedding reception at Kama this weekend. To say Kama was the best decision we made would be putting it lightly. From the moment we decided to host our reception there, the staff have been nothing but extraordinary. They are extremely responsive, helpful and kind. And not to mention, that we ve had countless people tell us that the food they had was the best wedding meal they ve ever been served. Their space is so so beautiful and served as the perfect venue. We can t wait to have countless date nights at Kama & we would recommend them as an event space to everyone. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

To start, the atmosphere and service was fantastic. We ordered several dishes to share and found that the pork belly, halloumi, and fresh oysters were wonderful. The rest of the dishes were just okay (spanakopita, Turkish street prawns), and we even sent the lamb kofte back because it tasted only like unseasoned lamb despite the toppings and pretty presentation. They were kind enough to comp that dish though, which was very much appreciated. The cocktails were just not very tasty. I did not want another and nursed the one I had for the whole meal. We tried the Pearadise Disco, Cucumber Mule, and Panaché - none were really winners unfortunately. It seems like this place has huge potential and just needs to iron out some recipes.

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere! Its definitely a must in Calgary!

The service was great. I ordered a Sangria and the popcorn octopus (snack). Both delicious. My husband ordered a Cava and the Turkish prawns. Great choices. The ambience is mordern, the bar is really beautiful. We will definitely come back.

Really loved our service, the excitement from the kitchen, and the food. Start to finish it was a lovely weekend experience.

10/10 amazing service and 12/10 for the food. Amazing vibe, great decorations, servers were so great and the food was to die for. Way to go team!

Absolutely excellent dining experience Our waitress made great suggestions for cocktails and food as we were first time diners And food and drink was absolutely perfect. Manager or owner came by at the end of the night and asked how our evening was . Amazing customer service..

Nice chic place with shareable small plates.

Shocked that this place isn t completely jammed every night. Every single thing I tried was a 10/10. Will certainly be back.

I dream about this experience! Amazing meal and wonderful service.

Great food, love the unique dishes! Is a favorite now.

Awesome spot with really unique food and drinks. Will be returning

Had an amazing night. Foods great, space is gorgeous, didnt want to leave.

Excellent lunch with co-workers to celebrate a birthday. Great sharing plates, great service, and amazing atmosphere.

*sigh* our experience at Kama is a fantastic reminder to give new restaurants a good 6+ months to iron out the kinks before visiting. The service was pretty horrendous, not because the server was bad but because there was one of him for the entire restaurant. The bartender was also solo (this was a Saturday night) so I m not surprised it took over 35 minutes for our cocktails to arrive. When they did, they were unfortunately very subpar. Oddly tangy and cough-syrupy, everything served in the same highball glass with regular ice cubes no matter the type of drink. We ordered tequila shots for the second round thinking they d be quicker (they weren t), and the server told us they d be on the house since they took so long (and then they showed up on our bills). The ambience/decor is lovely but this place has a looong way to go before I d recommend it to anyone else.

Had a lovely evening here with friends. It was lively and a good spot for cocktails. The food was ok. We ordered a bunch of things to share. Nothing was memorable.

The food was super delicious! Very nice place. Would recommend!

New favorite spot. Love the vibe, and the food was so good. Julie was so personable and gave amazing service. We will definitely be back!

One of our top 10 dining experiences ever! Our waitress Britt was awesome in helping us put a delicious meal together for the four of us. Every dish was a hit. We d 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone for a casual meal with friends or family or if you re looking for a special date night. Enjoy!

I love going to try any food that Chef Kenny makes. I just ask the server for recommendations and order those. The food always exceeds expectations. Wheelchair accessibility: The doors are wide and the tables are low.

Truly one of the most memorable dining experiences I ve had in recent years. We shared several dishes including the spanakopita, halloumi, scallops, cauliflower and oysters. Between 2 of us the portion sizes were perfect. Meticulous presentation of each dish and attention to detail enhanced the dining experience. Despite being a full house the service was impeccable and we felt 100% doted on and taken care of. The ambiance, music and overall chill vibe was the icing on the cake to the overall experience. Looking forward to booking my next reso!

Really yummy food. Will definitely go back. A tad over priced, but great atmosphere. Service was slow, maybe understaffed? Food

I ve been here three times now. Probably my new favourite restaurant in Calgary. Very nice atmosphere, service and staff are all amazing, but the food is simply incredible. Very high end. Go to this place.

Another fantastic meal with amazing service!!! So happy to see this beautiful restaurant grow! LOVE!!!

For two couples, we ordered seven different small plates and one large plate. This offered lots of variety and we all had more than enough to eat. In fact, most of the large plate ended up going home in a doggy bag. All eight dishes were tasty and well presented. Bravo. Our waiter was attentive and professional. The only downside was atmosphere. The music is way too loud for a dining experience and the tables are squeezed together a little too tightly. Its clear that the Kamas target demographic is 25~35 years old. Parking: There is a paid, underground parking garage directly underneath the restaurant. Its available to the public and the entrance is on 12th Ave. A smart phone with a QR scanning application is required to access the parkade

The food is above and beyond amazing! Literally everything we ordered was perfect. The timing of every plate was paced well. Get the halloumi! Get the chicken souvlaki! The zucchini latka, the labnah, Literally everything was perfection. Our server, Britt, was so great! And all the support staff was very informative and lovely. Absolutely will return! Still need to try the churros!

Third time here. Staff are professional and welcoming. Atmosphere is excellent. Had a bottle of Prosecco with our food (halloumi, Pork belly, potato croquette, prawns, cauliflower, and zucchini fritters). The pork belly was slightly dry and the croquettes slightly salty but all food was fun and filling. They created a Mescal cocktail on the fly and it was tasty and different. Will go back for late night next time.

Great tasting food, had a feast! Would highly recommend Food

My new favorite restaurant!! What a gem. Amazing food, service, decor, cocktails; just all around a great vibe. Still dreaming of their pork belly and tartare, best Ive had! Shout out to our server Friday night who was so lovely for my husbands birthday, and our extremely tight timeline

Went here on Thursday and had one of the best meals I ve had in Calgary in a long time. We got the zucchini latkes, lamb kofta, asparagus, scallops and chocolate crema catalana. The flavours were immaculate and perfectly balanced in every dish, and our cocktails were great too. Will definitely be coming back here!

Love this place. The ambience is excellent, the seating is comfortable and lovely, and the food is excellent. The portions are on the smaller side, so youd probably need more than one plate per person to actually feel full, but the flavors are on point! 10/10 would recommend. Vegetarian options: Multiple options and all yummy!

Ive been to this restaurant several times and have loved it each time. Excellent service, fantastic food (try the potatoes and halloumi, you wont be disappointed) and the ambiance is top notch.

Great experience

It does not matter what you order, it will be delicious. Service is friendly and super quick.(Julie was our server). Atmosphere with back ground music is awesome. And... Their kitchen is open late! A must try. TWO THUMBS UP!

Poor service. Paid no attention to our dietary restrictions and served us wrong dishes

Outstanding food and service. Mediterranean style foods served family style, great for browsing over small dishes for a leisurely dinner with good friends.

Love this restaurant... The design and atmosphere, and the food is European worthy. Excellent and cant wait to go back!

What a wonderful place for a business meeting or a dinner with friends! The restaurant itself is beautiful and comfortable with ambient noise levels lively enough to feel vibrant and low enough to easily carry on a conversation. The menu is interesting, fresh, and almost entirely gluten free. Small plates for sharing and larger family style meals allow you to try many things, which is perfect because everything is DELICIOUS. Try it all - especially the grilled halloumi! Service is super friendly and attentive. Dietary restrictions: Almost the entire menu is gluten free.

Amazing spot. Great tasting food, excellent ambience and top notch service. Highly recommend

Above and beyond service from everyone, most notably our server Noah. The prawn small plate was absolutely my favourite, so well balanced. Great atmosphere for elevated Mediterranean food!

The food was outstanding! I was with a group so we tasted a variety of dishes from the menu and everything was outstanding. Tyler took care of us like a pro. Friendly, welcoming, efficient. Its very loud with high ceilings, loud music and lots of folks. It was difficult to hear each other over all that.

Had an extended luncheon at Kama for 3 and we had starters, small plates and 1 large plate. Food and service was all great. Will be back again to try more!

Super atmosphere and the tapas were amazing.

For the price both the food and service were lacking. Bathrooms were also gross. Not recommended.

Delicious food, service is slow but welcoming. Great ambiance. Would come back.

Absolutely phenomenal. Visited with a friend, we shared the olives, burrata, brussel sprouts, and the chicken. Everything tasted fresh and perfectly seasoned, attention paid to detail. Our server was there whenever needed, all the staff were friendly and attentive and helpful. Can t wait to visit to taste more of the menu. Great value for the prices, hearty serving sizes.. just go try it already!

Great food and service.

Had our company event here and the food was delicious!!
