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 won't be disappointed.

I went there on a Friday night with my sister in law. We ordered grilled Halloumi, Turkish sweet prawns and Potato gnocchi. I loved the prawns and Halloumi . It had the perfect blend of fusion and spices . I could taste every ingredient on its own and together they made a great combination. The only problem was the music which was too loud for my liking. I would definitely recommend it .

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!

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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
This place has full points for service atmosphere and drinks, food needs to be worked on a little, I feel food was missing freshness. It felt like defrosted and cooked stuff. Dessert was good though surely will recommend that. Would recommend this place to hang out and for first dates, have a couple of drinks try one or two dishes.
Had an excellent lunch here. Food, service and atmosphere were all amazing! I especially loved the grilled halloumi.

Kama is such a great spot if you're 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.
I had the 5-course YYC EXP meal. Food was delicious and service was amazing. Wasn't a fan of the churros, but that's 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.
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.
