Kategna Restaurant

I went in for a late lunch and was not disappointed. The food was excellent, and it felt amazing to return to this restaurant after six years and find the same great vibe and consistency in quality. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Ethiopian cuisine. The shiro here is my absolute favorite!

Delicious Ethiopian food in a lovely setting. We were treated to dancers who were amazing! If you're new, try the Katagna Special, which is a selection of dishes and easily feeds 4. 💳 Takes credit card

Kategna is an absolute gem of a restaurant and an experience you won't want to miss. We started with the meat firfir, and every bite was an incredible blend of savory spices and tender injera. The siga wot was equally impressive—the meat was so flavorful and cooked to perfection, with a rich, authentic sauce that truly stood out. ​Beyond the fantastic food, the entire atmosphere of the place is magical. The interior is stunning, filled with beautiful, intricate Ethiopian artifacts and decor that create a warm, inviting, and truly immersive dining environment. It’s clear that so much thought went into every detail. ​What really sealed the deal for us was the service. The staff was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout our entire meal, making sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. It was genuinely a top-class experience from start to finish. I can't recommend Kategna enough; it's the perfect spot for delicious, authentic Ethiopian food and a wonderful evening out.

Kategna Restaurant Recommendation! Wonderful service, very friendly and attentive staff. The food is authentic, fresh, and full of flavor; the injera and the various meat and vegetable dishes are especially outstanding. The drinks are well-chosen, and the traditional Ethiopian coffee is a real highlight. All this in a cozy, warm atmosphere. A restaurant that I highly recommend!

A specifically came to this restaurant for their doro wat, but what I seem to have been served is a small tiny drumstick of chewy meat in a big bowl of sauce with one egg. I paid a premium price for this. Everything else was fine at the restaurant. But my main dish was minuscule and chewy. I'm definitely not returning to this restaurant.

Loved the vibe! Everything was perfect—the place, the staff were so friendly and helpful. We came for dinner and the food was super delicious

Now this was a spectacular experience for my taste buds. For anyone travelling to Addis Abeba, Ethiopia (Katanga restaurant) is a MUST. Beautifully traditional dining experience. What’s on show today was jaw dropping the pictures do not capture the mind blowing aromas & spicies presented to us. My colleagues and I sat in awe as very large sized plates were served/shared perfectly amongst us. With the staple traditional teff injera (this super-soft, slightly sour pancake-like, spongy unique base) covered the plate to soak in all of the species of this spectacular dish. Hopefully you’ve been able to picture what we were experiencing from this description, if not just look and marvel at the pictures. The diced spicy lamb mixed with herbs, spices & chilli’s traditional (Awaza Tibs) was a favourite & one I’d definitely recommend. The other large plate had an array of colours with a mix a different options. With salads, traditional Shirou & Misera(Vegan favourites), aswell as diced lamb for meat lovers so we can all eat together as one. Eating is a union here in Ethiopia and inside Ethiopian restaurants you’ll notice it is done together. (Make sure to understand the traditional protocol of washing your hands before you eat, it is a must!)

This place is probably the best place for exclusive Ethiopian food and the food is very amazing we ordered doro firfir and quanta dirkosh with kitfo and we also ordered some firfir with meat and with no butter. it was heavenly the doro firfir had chicken that fell of the bone, the quanta is crisy yet succulent, and the kitfo has a very exceptional texture with flawless flavour to die for! Though the firfir with no butter had some sort of rope in it , and its not bad but it had to much garlic. So honestly the overall rating is 9.8/10. Would go again!👍
