I went with a friend who ordered a lot more food and drinks than me. We asked for separate checks and she split the total down the middle instead of separating what each of us had. Lazy!! I had planned to get an order to go, but the food was not that great.

Awesome vegetarian platter that had the perfect blend of tastes and spices, such a variety of flavors, and the injera was very tasty and fluffy. Presentation and service were great. Waiter was so kind and thoughtful. Place is really tidy and clean, bright and welcoming, tucked into a little mini mall, with big parking lot- easy to get to!

This is was my first time trying this Ethiopian Restaurant. Anytime I need my Ethiopian Cuisine, I always go to Desta. Follow me to see my past reviews! I ordered over the phone but they have other 3rd party delivery carriers to assist with getting your meals. My order was placed by a nice lady and she told me it will be ready in 15 mins. I came in around 1:30p and the place was empty so I did not have to wait for my order. Average size restaurant with seating. It did appear clean and have good energy. TVs on the walls. Tea bar and other drink machines. All I had was cash so she had to go next door to break a $50. It did not bother me none because I understand some businesses are going cashless so I was grateful she was able to accommodate me. The food was delicious and feeling. I ordered the Ribeye ribs because this type of meat does whole more flavor. The red lentils and collard greens for my side. Majority of their food is gluten free and plenty of vegetarian options available. 5/5 rating for food, ambiance and service :) You can't go wrong

Really enjoyed the ribeye with the lentils and injera. Did not disappoint and service was great for a group of 20+.

I like Katenga’s food, however I don’t like their service. I had a frustrating experience with them through Uber Eats and they never resolved my issue. I ordered one night and they were out of an item I ordered so they cancelled the order, after calling and speaking to me. Uber kept my money, even though it was cancelled due to the restaurant being out of an item. Uber said they kept my money because the restaurant marked that I requested the order to be cancelled.I called the restaurant and spoke with a young lady who said she would call Uber and correct the issue. I was expecting a call back, but never heard back from her.Tonight I attempted to get my money back from Uber again. No luck, they won’t budge. So I’m out $40 for food that was never cooked or received received.I would have continued being a customer and supporter of Katenga because I really did enjoy their food, however this has turned me away from spending my money there again.

Food 5/5 It was so delicious. We got the vegetarian platter and chicken. Portions were large. Chicken was juice and so flavorful. We didn't get spicy but it had so much flavor without. You get a surprise baklava for dessert. Atmosphere 3/5 Basic restaurant. Some TVs showing fun Ethiopian music videos. Service 4/5 One waitress who was great just a little slow because only one person there. We had a very relaxed / slow dinner and it ends up a nice evening.
