This was the WORST $50 I spent during the entire 2 Covid years when I was buying take-outs from…read morerestaurants. Karas bills itself as authentic Egyptian food that is entirely charcoal-grilled. I tried 2 dishes: grilled chicken & grilled minced lamb. Both dishes cost me $50 and is worth less than $20! Here's why: 1) the portions were miserly! For a $30 plate (with tax), take a look at the photo - 4 tiny balls of minced lamb sitting morosely on the plate. 8 bites in total! 2) the meats were as dry as OLD SHOES! Charcoal grilling is an art form. The lamb, which was supposedly wrapped in lamb fat, should have been succulent and juicy. Instead, as the 2nd photo shows, it was burnt and very, very dry. 3) the chicken was no better. Dry to the point of being stringy and chewy. It was supposed to be dark meat (leg), but it was so dry I couldn't even tell if it was dark or white meat. 4) For this miserable dinner, I waited a full 28 minutes - when I was there at 4pm and I was the only 1 of 2 customers. Unacceptable! This was a real disappointment, and a total let down, because Karas shawarma (by the same Owner) was actually quite decent, which was why I decided to try their restaurant location. My verdict: Eat at Karas shawarma, when they have their 2 wraps for $20 promo on Mondays. That's worth eating for that price. But Karas Restaurant most definitely is NOT worth eating at - at this price point & for such bad quality!

The atmosphere was lively but relaxed, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They took the time to walk us through the menu and explain the highlights of their authentic Egyptian cuisine. We started with a refreshing "Mojito" and then followed by "Salata Baladi", "Hummus", "Baba Ghanosh", "French Fries", "Kebda Eskandarani", "Sausage Eskandarani", "Karioka Combo" and paired it with "Tahini Sauce" and "Garlic Sauce". The food was very fresh and very flavour. The Karioka Combo includes Tarb (ground beef skewer wrapped with lamb fat), Shish Tawook, Kofta, Beef Kebab, Reyash (Lamb Chops) and the unique Hawaoshi. Each one of them was marinated with unique flavours and grilled to perfection; juicy and tender. We wrapped up our meal with the delicious "Roz Bel Laban", a creamy rice pudding with just the right touch of cardamom and raisins. It was the perfect finish to a memorable meal.

I am surprised to have only just discovered this place, but as they say, it's never too late. After…read moretwo visits I can confidently say I am thoroughly impressed. We ordered the Hummus, Baba Ganoush, Meat Platter and Sausage Manakesh. The Manakesh stands out as one of the best in Mississauga, its thick bread and generous topping of cheese and flavour make it a must try. The lamb chops on the meat platter were also delicious and all the meat is wonderfully moist. The overalls atmosphere, music and customer service were all exceptional. I will certainly be returning. Kudos to Sayel!

The taste is not there for me and I feel like the flavour is off if I order chicken. The shrimp was OK. Lots of parking. Every time I visit, it's never busy, always empty. Last time I visited and picked up an order, I had to wait a bit as nobody was at the counter. Food is ready fast but I feel like the flavor can be improved. Only visited a few times to try different menu items and see if it makes a difference. I got a BOGO offer on my last visit which made the value worth it for a quick fast meal. The one menu item I like is their fries. Reminds me of the costco fries.

After selecting a sea bream, the fish was weighed for its price. You can choose between 4 different cooking options. I tried the Singari Fish Platter option for the sea bream, as I felt the way the fish is prepared butterflied would be easier to eat. The flavour of the fish was nice, with the unique spice blend. I also tried the Alexandria Mix Platter and Shrimp Platter. For the Alexandria, I found it to be a great option to share and sample the variety of their seafood selection. The fish fillet was definitely my favourite in the mix. As for the shrimp platter, the grilled shrimps were also very flavourful. However, I did prefer the fired shrimps from the Alexandria better as I enjoy the crunch. In terms of sides, the portions are generous as you get to select 2 options per platter. The fries were surprisingly good. Worth a second visit.
