Katar River Restaurant

Truly amazing food and friendly service. Wonderful community atmosphere. They have a grocery store attached to the restaurant, too. I bought bulk tumeric. I love this place. I adore their vegetarian combo and recommend it even if you aren't a vegetarian (I'm not). It's delicious, has a nice variety, and is very filling.

We had a wonderful time! The food was delicious, and a work of art. We had the vegetarian platter, yummy. The patio was beautiful, we sat by the nice trees in the shade. Wrapping the food up in the bread was a fun experience. What a great feature of the neighborhood!

Wife and I got a big shared plate for $25, this thing was ridiculous. Like a whole thanksgiving meal from Ethiopia. Also free coffee and tea. The food was literally amazing.

Best Ethiopian I’ve ever had!! The combination platter was a beautiful selection of both meat and veggie dishes. The spices and flavors were incredible. The service was very friendly, and attentive. I would recommend this restaurant to ANYONE and plan to return with a larger group of friends very soon!! Thank you!

Honestly addicted to this place! The combo for two well feeds myself and my partner. We literally get it at least once a month it’s so good!

We got the combination for 2, dine-in. Lots of injera and perfectly spicy dishes (beets, corn, chicken, beef tips, curry chicken). Everything was good. Best ethiopian i've had in a long time.

The vegetarian combo for two is scrumptious, beautifully presented, and TONS of food. I also appreciated how kind and attentive the staff were. Do yourself a favor and visit Katar River!

Yum! This “small” platter was $22 and super flavorful. Also loved the lentil sambusas. Kind service, relaxing outdoor (only, I think) seating and a small market inside for dry/bulk goods. We’ll be back!!

I ordered the combo for 3 for pickup and it was a lot of food! We will have plenty of leftovers and I'm very happy. Very delicious, great flavors, 10/10 would recommend this place to everyone looking for a good meal.

Food was amazing & the service was thorough and helpful! We shared the sampler platter and couldnt finish the dish meant for two between the three of us! Harsh lighting and the TV was playing a low quality animal channel off youtube.

My wife and I got the veggie sampler for 2 with gluten-free injera. We stuffed ourselves and put enough in out takeaway box for another meal. Very friendly server and tasty food!

I am blown away by this place! We were seated in the lovely dining area, lots of floral arrangements and neat Ethiopian decor made the atmosphere really chill. The service was absolutely perfect, so kind and attentive to all of our needs. We ordered the vegetarian sampler, the portions were so huge! I will have (perfect for microwave) leftovers for the week. When we settled up, we are even taught some of the names of the food and how they are made. Everyone there was so friendly, the food was mind-blowing and the atmosphere wonderful. I definitely will be coming back!

The vegetarian combo (I think also vegan) tastes amazing and is such a great deal for the price! Comes with injera. Definitely recommend and I will be back!

Unreal Ethiopian food and incredible service. An electric experience through and through.

Great food, fresh and tasty injera, large portion! Also love the "hot sauce" from the freezer to take home.

Such a great restaurant. There's a lot of good Ethiopian food in the Twin Cities (we've probably visited 5 different restaurants and enjoyed our meals at all), but Katar River is my family's favorite. The food is excellent, and the service is excellent. Go in expecting a leisurely dining experience, and you won't be disappointed.

The Katar Combo for two for 24.95 was absolutely delicious! Great variety of meat, lentils, veggies. We ate plenty and brought some home as leftovers. The complimentary tea was so good--ginger and spices. Server was kind and wanted diners to be satisfied.

Katar combo is a generous portion and delicious! So much variety in one meal-- we'll be back often.

Be prepared to wait a little bit, but the food is worth it! Nice people, great food, generous portions. Definitely would come back!

I had a great meal here! I had never had Ethiopian food before coming here so I had no frame of reference but was still thoroughly impressed!
Host and server were both very kind and gave excellent service and the food (Vegetarian Combination) was fantastic. *Very* generous portions, probably too much for just 2 people but I could totally see myself splitting that order between 3 or 4 people.

I'm sad that it took me this long to try such wonderful cuisine but I'm excited to come back here!
