Great Ethiopian restaurant with great food. Desta rolls were great although the kitfo was quite rich. Tibs and doro wat were excellent and of a good portion size.Service was a little slow but they were busy so understandable. Atmosphere was good

Just had an incredible dining experience at Desta Ethiopian Restaurant! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted by the warm and inviting atmosphere, with the scent of exotic spices filling the air. The restaurant's traditional Ethiopian decor and friendly staff made me feel right at home. The menu offered a wide variety of authentic Ethiopian dishes, from savory stews to flavorful vegetarian options. I opted for the vegetarian combo platter, and it was absolutely delicious - the flavors were rich and complex, and the injera bread was perfectly soft and tangy. The service was excellent, with the staff providing attentive and knowledgeable recommendations. Overall, Desta Ethiopian Restaurant surpassed my expectations, and I can't wait to return for another flavorful meal!

You know it's an authentic place when you walk in and the waiters and customers are all speaking another language that's not English. Was recommended to check out Desta from a Nigerian friend and came with another friend who wanted to try Ethiopian food for the first time. I'm no expert but we had a good time. The menu was a little difficult to navigate and our waitress wasn't fluent in English, but she knew enough to help recommend some dishes to us.We got the veggie combo with injera (kinda like a thin sour fermented pancake) and lamb tibs (non-spicy, not dry). It was a great experience. Everything came out on the injera and you would pull and rip some out to wrap the veggies or lamb (they put the lamb right in the center). There were also extra rolls of injera. No utensils and hand sanitizers gave us the heads up it would probably be a hands-on meal. There were different veggies some a little spicy for me, but we enjoyed ourselves and it was more than enough for 2 people. Prices are reasonable too. About $42 after tax and tip in total. I heard they are also known for their drinks. Overall a great introduction to Ethiopian cuisine and I'd be excited to come again

Great experience! This was our first time enjoying Ethiopian food. Our waiter graciously guided us thru the menu; we tried a bit of everything and loved it all! The restaurant is charming, the staff very friendly, even the restrooms are top-notch.

Fantastic food and excellent service. I'm not often on this side of town, but I'm really glad we gave Desta a try. Both the meat and vegetable sampler platters were amazing. I want to go back and try the whole menu.
