The quality and the taste of foods here are perfect! Costumer serves is good and the pastas always melt in the mouth. One thing I find that needs to improve is the steaks , we had always problem with the steaks being over cooked...

Visited this spot a couple weeks ago and absolutely loved it. Food was delicious and service was amaaazing! I’m so happy to have this halal option in Ottawa. I’ll be visiting again and would like to try other items on the menu. Overall worth it!

Went on a public holiday, they were packed but we had a reservation. Service was slower, but our server came to explain and apologize when we were seated. Overall, the food was delicious. The peppercorn steak was cooked to our request and the BBQ ribs were flavourful and well cooked. However, the shrimp was a bit bland and dry. The Saffron Burger was amazing and the sauce was exquisite.

From the moment you step inside, the warm ambiance and inviting aromas welcome you, setting the stage for a memorable gastronomic journey. The attentive staff ensures that every need is met with a genuine smile, adding to the overall charm of the establishment. As I perused the menu, I was intrigued by the innovative fusion of Halal and Italian dishes, each offering a tantalizing glimpse into a world of culinary creativity. From classic Italian pasta to succulent Halal meats, there was something to satisfy every palate.

We have been going to Kara Mia's for over a decade, first in the GTA and now in Ottawa. We recently hosted a 45 person family event there, and it was executed wonderfully by the staff at this location. I would highly recommend it. HMA halal certified with tasty sauces!

Nice atmosphere. Great portions for the price point. Heavy on the sauce, but good flavor. Recommend getting sauce on the side. I will visit this place again and recommend it to others. BTW it's halal and a great place for steak lovers.
