Reimagining Teff Culture

What is a Kategna?

Traditionally, Kategna is made by lightly toasting fresh teff Injera over heat until crisp, then generously basting it with house-spiced Ethiopian Ghee (Niter Kibbeh) or premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil combined with warm spices.

At the Kategna Lab, we take this beloved crispy specialty and elevate it into handheld rolled crepes and folded pockets. From rich slow-cooked meats to vibrant plant-powered fillings, every crepe is crisped to order using your choice of traditional spiced ghee or cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil.

Ethiopian Spiced Ghee

Slow-clarified with sacred herbs like kosseret, korarima, and fenugreek for unmatched golden richness.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Cold-pressed, clean, and 100% plant-based, delivering a light crunch and vibrant flavor.
