From the moment we stepped into Kama my wife and I were treated like VIP’s. From the host to the server to the bartender and all staff. The only thing perhaps better than the service was the unbelievable food. Dishes were perfectly balanced in flavor and spice and delighted the taste buds. We chose the Halloumi, pork belly, gnocchi, Brussel sprouts and the large souvlaki chicken plate. All were outstanding with the chicken taking top spot over the pork and halloumi. Once the staff found out we were looking for the next place nearby for a drink, the manager came over to personally recommend a few places and they sent us on our way with a couple of complementary shooters. This was far and away the best dining experience we have ever had and will be sure to be back and recommend to all of our friends and contacts. Complements to chef Kenny, manager Javen and the entire staff - bravo!

1st time. We like sharing plates. The server recommended the gnocchi and it was delicious. We had 4 other dishes and they were equally as tasty.

Again and again… this terrific restaurant never disappoints! Chef Kenny Kaechele and his team really have something here. Kama is a place where you feel energized, calmed, excited, cRed for, and a part of something really big! The team is completely in synch, operating as one unit across the whole floor. The service is just where you want it, attentive, knowledgeable and full of enthusiasm for what goodies they have to share. This has been, and is, our favorite spot in Calgary, and we can’t say enough about why this team fully deserves resounding success! You won’t want to miss out on dining here!

A hidden gem. Beautiful space with neutral on trend colours. Tapas were delicious especially the meatballs, chili shrimp, and chicken souvlaki. Yes the souvlaki was on the drier side but still overall tasty.
