We got the fettuccine with chicken, fettuccine with “black tiger shrimp” (more on that in a sec), and a poutine that could probably feed a small hockey team.

Wow, Kara Mia totally blew me away! The Saffron Poutine was insanely good—crispy fries with this rich, saffron-y gravy and melty cheese. The Caesar Salad was super fresh, with a zingy dressing I couldn’t get enough of. My Chilli Saffron Steak was juicy, perfectly cooked, and had a spicy saffron kick that was just chef’s kiss.
