First, let me say I thought there was something fishy going on with all these good reviews! But I can definitely believe them because I also had a very good experience at Katra, which has prompted me to come and write a review.
My 2 friends and I felt like going out, getting a bottle and listening to good music, so at the recommendation of another friend we chose Katra. I set up the reservation and upon arrival we were greeted by a friendly door staff one of whom was the owner, Christopher. We were promptly escorted to our table where the waitress gave us great service. She checked on us often and the bussers kept our table clean and fully stocked.
I was totally feeling DJ Commish. He kept the party going all night and played a good variety of hip hop, R&B and he splashed in a little pop, plus some blasts from the past. Actually towards the end of the bottle :-) me and my friend got the idea that we wanted to meet the DJ and I sent a text to Christopher to ask if we could meet him. Within a minute he had sent someone to take us up to meet the DJ.
The reason I give this place such rave reviews is because (1) the decor is great. It's really classy and I'm a fan of the Mid Eastern theme (2) The service is very good. I've had my fair share of table experiences. Many times they're unorganized at the door, they take forever to bring what you want or something else equally annoying--but here they had it together from start to finish. Also, it really helps that they get the concept that you are a customer coming to buy a positve experience and a bottle of vodka at their establishment rather than many clubs that somehow have it twisted and think they're doing YOU the favor. I felt that they genuinely wanted us to have a good time and enjoy ourselves. (3) Good DJ...this is a big part of the experience. Gotta have a good soundtrack to the night.
So, that's my review. 2 thumbs up :-)
Pros: music, customer service, serves food, decor
Cons: nothing
