Service is great, food amazing! Went right to the full deal and now that we've indulged in their awesome salad and will dream forever about the risotto and stunning deserts, we've gotta go try a burger!

The food is fabulous, absolutely no complaints there. The service impeccable. Noise level a bit loud. The only complaint I have is that I don't like to see the server's breasts almost falling on my plate every time she bends over to deliver food/bill etc....Leave something to the imagination. Maybe if she was out herself trying to attract males would be another story, but serving in a restaurant a definite NO NO!!!!!More

We booked a dinner at Karma Kameleon Gastropub in Thorold, Ontario on our recent vacation trip to Niagara Falls. Based upon its description, we had expected a gastronomic experience in quiet, rural café type setting. What we found was a noisy urban bar on a...Thorold main street. I had a nice shrimp & scallops dish on a bed of risotto while my wife had rather bland ravioli. We had started with an artichoke dip and nan, but the dip wasn't good and the nan was more like a flaccid pita. Service was okay, except we waited twenty minutes for our bill before I had to hunt down our server to get it. All in all, it was not the experience we had expected.More

By far the best food I have the pleasure to enjoy. Enjoyed the lobster grilled cheese and was delicious. Lots of lobster filled this sandwich. I highly recommend trying this!! The sandwich was loaded with yummy goodness and the was a good portion.

The atmosphere and service was almost great. This restaurant has been on my list for a year when I visited Ontario. The whole shebang Caesar was awesome. I judged the beef quality from the slider on the Caesar so we decided to order burgers. Unfortunately...when it came we quickly realized that it wasn’t a hand pressed burger like the slider it was a frozen processed burger. For the price and the hype of this restaurant they would benefit from a fresh ground beef patty. I would go back & try something else.More

Myself and two friends went last Friday . We were looking forward to a very high end dinner as usual before the pandemic.wow were we disappointed! Only a a a limited fast food menu. It was too crowded and the food was terrible. My friend...had a mouldy from h fry in her dinner. They tried to make up saying the chefs were absent. I will never go back. I also live in Thorold. Most disappointing. Never to returnMore

Delightful small gastro-pub didn't disappoint. Unique fresh food with excellent service. On the recommendations of friends, met for mid-week lunch and was thrilled with the menu items and service. Most of us had the Lobster Grilled Cheese, another had a Gourmet Burger along with a...variety of fresh salads beautifully presented. Thanks to Blaine, our server, he ensured we were well taken care of. Looking forward to returning and trying their other unique menu items. Well done folks.More

Thank you for a great dinner. We ordered pasta carbonara, with a side of lobster tale, and lobster grilled cheese. We shared and boy was it ever delicious. We finished off with yummy homemade donuts. This was not our first time here, and it definitely...won’t be our last! Thank you HeatherMore

Food was exactly what I expected after reading the menu and the servers description. Food was flavourful and not over salted which I find most restaurants are. Had Rueben and harvest salad as did another person in my group had. Another guest had a Chicken...sandwich with fries and a the last had the lobster grilled cheese. All of us agreed that the food matched our expectations and the service and drinks were great. Would definitely go again.More

A group of 9 of us from out of town (here for a conference) discovered this gem, and had supper here. The service, food and prices were wonderful. I would highly recommend trying it if you get the opportunity.

Friend and I enjoyed 'after theatre' meal at Karma Cameleon; it is a VERY great place to eat ... menu is different and pleases. Quiet Sunday afternoon in late fall - we got full attention of the waiter. Sure this restaurant/pub would be hopping in...warmer weather - lots of doors opening out to patio areas. If you get a chance to enjoy - do go!More

Found this hidden gem tucked away in Thorold, Ontario and knew that this is where I'd bring my family to celebrate a birthday. The staff are very friendly, especially "Big Daddy" Matt, our server. Had us laughing and smiling the entire time we were there....The menu is very appetizing itself, but once the food makes its way to the table...you'll understand why the great reviews of this place! The chicken and waffles are a must have. I am not a vegetarian, but I have to say, those cauliflower bites really hit the spot! This is a place you really should make an effort to visit if you're in the area. Yes, the place is small, and is more like a pub than anything else...but the warmth of the staff, the décor and the food will remind you why you popped in for a drink and a bite! We will definitely be visiting here again!!!More

We were heading to Niagara Falls and wanted to eat before getting to the touristy places. We came upon this quaint gastropub and had the delicious Cubano sandwich and the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with the harvest salad . The harvest salad was full of...mixed berries including golden berries and veggies. Food was amazing and Matt our server was delightful and interesting. Highly recommend you check this place out. PS. We found it on TripAdvisor!More
