Katra Restaurant and Lounge

The Lower East Side’s Katra serves up tasty dishes and even tastier cocktails amid beautiful Moroccan decor. If you go for dinner, enjoy small plates (such as the mushroom and paneer cheese tart) or entrees (like the lamb tagine). Or join the crowd for late-night music, dancing and drinks, including specialty cocktails like the pomegranate-infused Tangier Safi and the minty Katra Cooler. The vibe lies somewhere between pub-ish and pretentious, making this lounge great for get-togethers.
