I had the J'adore 75 cocktail which had vodka, Prosecco, lychee and hibiscus served as a martini. I was nervous it would be too sweet but it was perfect. I ordered the sheet roasted cauliflower for an appetizer and had the vindaloo curry with braised lamb and asked they make it spicy. Usually when I've gone to Indian restaurants they don't make it spicy enough but Kama made it spicy! My friend had the paneer tika masala that she said was really good. Each entree came with a side of basmati rice. We also ordered garlic naan for the table that was very tasty. We went to Kama on a Saturday night so it was busy but our food came out quick. Laura surprised us with a birthday dessert for the table that was a kulfi dou ice cream that was flavored pistachio and had a blueberry chutney. I've never had that kind of ice cream before it was very unique. They also brought out lit up candles so we were able to sing Happy Birthday. This was the best Indian restaurant I've been to and I can't wait to go back!

We got a table right away and ordered a vegetable samosa, something we love. It came out right away and it was so delicious. They were brought out with some sauces that elevated your plate. The samosa was a bit spicy but the many flavors paired so well together. For dinner I got the chicken tikka masala and my boyfriend got the butter chicken. We added the garlic naan and rice to our plate. The chicken tikka masala was very delicious. You can taste all the different spices in the dish. I love garlic and the garlic naan did not disappoint. It has such a great garlic taste and it was perfect for dipping in here masala sauce. The butter chicken was so buttery. It tasted very similarly to the chicken tikka masala though. Not pictured was our mango lassi. My boyfriend ordered it for us and in was pleasantly surprised. It's like a mango yogurt drink. It has a velvety texture and it was very flavorful. I would definitely get it again. Ultimately, I'd love to come back and try other items in the menu.

The butter chicken was really good, and I appreciated that it wasn't one of those dishes where you get way more sauce than actual chicken; the ratio was right. The vegetable samosas were also great, crispy and flaky on the outside, soft and well-seasoned inside, and served with both cilantro and tamarind chutney (I preferred the tamarind). I also tried the onion bhaji since it was on sale and I'm glad I did. no regrets at all.

This is a great looking upscale restaurant with a Buddha waterfall statue in the entrance…read more Unfortunately the food doesn't match the elegant ambience of the restaurant. But first the positive; the lamb saag was excellent; savory with tender chunks of lamb. This was a takeout for me so I have to consider that element. However, the chicken tikki masala had chicken chunks that were so hard that the dish was almost inedible. I'm guessing that the chicken had been sitting all day and morphed into the rock hard nuggets. This one should never have left the kitchen. We also had the shrimp masala. The masala sauce was quite good but if you planned on this dish for your dinner welcome to the hunger games! Almost no shrimp were evident in this container of sauce. Inexcusable to send something like this out. I'm puzzled. The restaurant itself is charming and welcoming but the kitchen is in need of a makeover.

Star of the show would have to be the fish basant, super crispy and with a little bit of heat. The vindaloo pork belly tonkatsu was so well cooked and crispy on the outside but light on the inside. Make sure to order garlic naan on the side, we wish we ordered a second portion to take home that's how good it was. Definitely check them out, it's being added to the rotation for us.
