    The food was great, service was excellent too. But very irresponsible of the management to not post anything on their website that there will NOT be a Bollywood DJ night on Valentine’s Day when they specify that Friday’s and Saturday’s are DJ nights on their website. That is misleading information! We reserved a late table to experience the Bollywood music only to find out that they won’t do that on Valentine’s Day which was on a Friday! Also, the management needs to better prepare of train their front desk staff who attends calls and makes reservations. She was rude, she didn’t bother to get the entrance area cleaned by someone when I told her that the floor so slippery from all the snow and muck that people bring in. The restaurant needs to be more respectful and responsible to the customers who decide not to cancel their reservation when the weather is so bad.

    Kama kept true to its promise, authentic Indian flavors, in a modern setting. Its offerings for Restaurant Week were amazing. You wouldn’t have gone wrong. Started with Chicken Lemon Tadka, a burst of lemon creaminess. Lamb chop Madala did not disappoint, either. Bourbon Gulab Jamun was my perfect ending. For my date, app was Goan Mussels Curry, which was generous in portion and has wondeful sauce to dip your naan in. Sous Vide Beef Short Rib was the star of the show, fit for a hungry king, and ending ithe meal with strawberry and mango ice cream in legit Asian flair. Wait staff was attentive. Lively ambience.
