The ambience is welcoming. The sevice is Awesome! Everyone plays a part in service. The manager constantly checks the table and makes sure you are good. The waitress was nice and helpful when making choices. The samosa’s was great! The buter chicken and black toger prawns were to die for! The garlic naan and lemon rice was on point. We loved everything! Amazing! I will be back.

The food at Kama is always delicious. My tolerance for spicy dishes is low and with each meal choice I was able to choose my heat level, which I like. The staff is always friendly and do not rush you through the courses. Order the hot tea and you'll be pleasantly surprised how the honey is presented.
