Great food great service it’s just the price is absolutely insane. The salad in the photo cost $30. Ignoring the prices the curry fried chicken is an amazing dish, so many different flavors but they all work together. I just can’t get over the prices.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely love Motorkat! The food is creative, flavorful, and made with so much care — they even source local ingredients like my Sweet Stinger Honey DC 🍯🐝. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff couldn’t be friendlier. You can taste the quality in every bite, and it’s clear they’re passionate about supporting the neighborhood. If you’re in Takoma Park, this is a must-visit spot!

Motorkat is a great spot. My recent visit for brunch was a slight disappointment. The revised menu left it impossible to order a simple breakfast (eggs, potatoes, toast). I ended up with a vegetable quiche that was bland and served with a salad that was very over dressed.

This place was good, made a reservation and they were quick to accommodate us even though the table was not ready when we arrived. The service was excellent, staff attentive and on top of subtly bringing drink and dessert menu without pressuring. The curry chicken was delicious, huge amount of food. And the drinks were lovely, with unique options.
Miserably bad service from the bartenders and servers. Just too much bad negative attitude/energy. There should be no excuses because there were managers present. There obviously working on a very low standard to begin so they don't notice or care.

Never had a bad meal at this place. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is very nice. I really enjoy eating in their booths its so comfortable and very classy. I wish they would add more main dish items to their menu, but other than that, it's a really nice restaurant.

Motorkat , A Must-Visit in Takoma Park. Motorkat is one of the top spots in Takoma Park, a big upgrade from The Republic. With fresh oysters, creative cocktails, standout dishes, and cozy outdoor seating, it’s the perfect place to soak in the best of the neighborhood.

Recommend the sunchoke appetizer and the curry fried chicken.

Edit: Mike at Motorkat reached out to me to offer a refund after my experience with food poisoning. I felt that this was a very professional gesture and was very appreciative that he reached out to apologize and offer a refund.
Original: I visited Motorkat for the first time yesterday. Although the service was excellent and the space was beautiful, I experienced food poisoning a few short hours after eating the seafood stew. It was a pretty horrendous experience and I wouldn't feel comfortable visiting again in the future.
