    We went for a 21st Birthday dinner and had a wonderful evening. The atmosphere was lovely and the interior very impressive, food was delicious and service excellent. 3 of us had the £50 set menu and one diner did their own thing. There was plenty to eat and we even brought some home, as we all ran out of space. My only slight negative was playing rather annoying Christmas music which didn't match the ambiance. We would have preferred a more authentic music experience to match the venue and food. On the whole we had a great evening and the surprise birthday cake treat was greatly appreciated. Highly recommended and we will be going again! Ps. Cocktails were divine!

    Second time eating at The Kara and it was as good as the first time. A warm welcome awaits when you arrive and it continues through your night. Cocktails are really good quality and reasonably priced and the food is incredible. Large portions which you can share and enjoy more authentic Mediterranean flavours. Service is quick and professional and the live singer and DJ later make it a fun place to be. Can’t wait to go back again soon.

    It was good to go on a less busy night, sometimes it’s very noisy particularly at the weekends. Food always good and staff attentive.
