What people say about Kategna Ethiopian Restaurant
Most people commend the hospitable environment, large serving size, and the restaurant’s good vegetarian menu. Some of the frequently mentioned foods include the combo platter, gomen, tibs, and the signature dish of the restaurant—the kategna. First-time diners from Ethiopia appreciate the fact that servers know how to describe the food combinations. The environment in the restaurant is informal and cultural rather than elegant. One of the points highlighted by some patrons is that food is served slowly, which is suitable for dinner but not for a quick stop.
About Kategna Ethiopian Restaurant
Kategna Ethiopian Restaurant provides authentic Ethiopian cuisine from West San Carlos Street, with injera being at the heart of the meal. The menu includes meat stews, fried beef, kitfo, and vegetarian dishes, which should be mixed up together to get an opportunity to change flavors from spicy to savory and even earthy.
The menu is accessible for both regular customers and first-timers, since sambusa and kategna become the perfect appetizers, and meat and vegetable combinations help to get acquainted with various dishes without ordering a big list of meals.
The interior is decorated with the help of traditional artwork; however, the service still keeps its casual character. The orders can be placed via the online pick-up service, while the table reservation is made through phone calls.
