Beautiful establishment! The food was full of flavor and filling.Not enough to have left overs other than the injera though! I had the veggie combo and my daghter had the meat combo.It came out to almost $50.00 before tip for the 2 of us with no appetizers, drinks other than water and no dessert.I thought that was pretty steep for a casual lunch but overall the service and food were good.
5 stars in every category.This has become my new favourite spot! The food is always perfectly seasoned, delicious and fresh.The injera is so good, other places I've gone to make it way too sour, but this one is perfect. The staff is always so friendly and attentive, they really make you feel welcomed! Relaxing atmosphere and lovely decor always make it the perfect place for a lovely meal! Will be a regular now!
I love Kategna! It is a beautiful restaurant hidden in an inner courtyard of an otherwise innocuous shopping area. I have been to a number of Ethiopian restaurants in San Jose and this is still my go-to place. They have a great selection of Ethiopian food fare, but the core offering of an Injera base with various offerings on top is the authentic experience to enjoy here. I personally recommend the meat and vegetarian combos, and I personally love the lamb ye beg tibs ❤️ This restaurant is decorated in a beautiful way, great art reflective of Ethiopian culture, a number of traditional tables where you can enjoy your meal in an authentic way, and other cultural elements all of which add to the traditional experience. The place has a full bar with a great selection of drinks to choose from. Also, the place is a full coffee bar (buna bet) if that is what you are looking for (appropriate since Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee). I really enjoy the experience with their siphon coffee - it is fun to watch it be made and produces a really rich coffee to enjoy. The service is great, the server was very friendly and made the whole experience special with her attention to detail
