Dinner at Katha was an experience. The chef provided thoughtful explanations on each course and the food was excellent. The service was very friendly and the wine pairing was worth it. We were two couples and each shared a pairing which was plenty. It was a Tuesday night so the restaurant was quite empty but I'm sure on a busy night the ambiance would be better. I would recommend for a very unique Indian dining experience or special occasion.

Slightly modern take on indian classics but very well done. Outstanding service (by the owner). You have to try the dessert! We will go back.

Delicious food and different than the usual. Beautiful presentation. Unfortunately they were out of lamb which made two dishes unavailable. We ate well and brought some leftovers home to enjoy the next day. Good service and ambience.

It is a good place for a casual dinner but nothing fancy. However, I believe that there are other restaurants at a better value. The service needs to be improved as we were waiting awhile to be served and we also had to remind the server our order as she forgot to out it through. The server didn't seem very experienced therefore they should have has someone else on the floor as well. Overall, we didn't have a great experience however, the food was pretty good.

Great food and service. However, this is the second time in three weeks that there was no Pino Grigio. Disappointing.

The food tasted very bad. Was very disappointed. The server was nice but because of the food tasting horrible, it was a bad experience. And so overpriced.
