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. The Penne Piccante Rosé was spicy in the best way, with a creamy sauce that clung to every bite. And the Fettuccine Alfredo? So creamy and comforting, I’m still dreaming about it. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful, the vibe was cozy, and the staff were awesome. Can’t wait to come back!

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. Let’s start with the pasta: the sauces were tasty and cozy, like a warm blanket for your taste buds. But the pasta-to-stuff ratio was off—like 80% pasta, 20% actual goodies. Especially with the shrimp dish. We ordered “black tiger shrimp,” expecting those big, majestic sea beasts, but what arrived were five regular-sized shrimp pretending to be something they’re not. Kind of like dressing a housecat in a lion costume. Cute, but not quite what we were expecting. Now, the poutine. Flavor was on the shy side—kind of like that one friend who whispers their opinions—so we had to introduce it to our salt and pepper shakers. But the portion? Absolute unit. Final thoughts: great flavors, epic serving sizes, but we got catfished by the tiger shrimp. Would come back? Yes

I celebrated my birthday here and I had the best time. The food was very good and very good portions as well. The plates look really small online but in person they’re deep dish and contain a
