Karma's Cafe

great food reasonably priced

We ate here on a very short deadline. It was my second visit and my husband's first. The food is wonderful and the staff were able to accommodate our time concerns with no problems. The atmosphere is a little noisy but not to the shouting-at-the-top-of-your-lungs-to-be-heard point. The food, the food is WONDERFUL. The Nepalese choices are different and interesting without being too hot. Portions are adequate, neither too small nor too large. Presentation is excellent. Since the prices are modest the place appears to appeal to the university crowd. It might be worth visiting at times when the engineers aren't out for a night on the town. We will definitely be back to explore the rest of the menu.

Wow...really surprised how good the food was, especially the spring rolls, they might be the best I have eaten! The servers were a little unenthusiastic but the food was so good I really didn't care. Kind of surprised I don't hear more people talk about this place????

I love it

I have visited many times and always love the food. Certainly one of the best in town for food quality. The service is sometimes slow but always pleasant. Meals seem to be priced fairly since I always leave feeling like I have had a real treat. If you are not in a hurry and have pleasant company for the meal you won't mind waiting a while to get fresh Thai food made to order. All carefully prepared. All delicious. Medium range of available beverages.

Slow, inattentive service makes otherwise good food unpalatable.

The service here was excruciatingly slow from the moment we stepped in. It took ages to get someone to take our order, and then it was well over an hour before our food arrived. After we finished eating, we waited and waited for the server to notice our empty plates - he never did. Eventually we all walked up to the bar and asked for our bills. The food was well-prepared and tasty, but it is not worth suffering through the poor service. There are other restaurants in Peterborough that serve decent Thai food. I won't be back to Karma's.

I was very disappointed with Karma's Cafe. It's a bit difficult to choose a starting point but I'll try to get everything in. My friend was already there when I arrived and there was water on the table already for two and she had a pot of tea. We decided what we wanted and put our menus down. Then we waited....and waited. After at least 20 minutes of waiting we called our server over. She did not ask if I wanted anything to drink, she just took our order. The appetizers arrived shortly after. They were quite good. Nice and hot and lots of flavour. Before we had a chance to finish the appetizers our entrees arrived, seriously crowding the small table. The entrees were not impressive. They were very bland. The only thing that could be said in their favour was they were served hot. We completed our entrees and asked that our food be packaged up to take home. The "doggie bags" arrived and then the bill. We were not asked if we wanted any dessert or if we wanted coffee or tea. That was very surprising to both of us. I guess that's pretty much it except that the restaurant itself was freezing the whole time we were there.
