“Desta I have to say had some amazing food!!! I went with my Ethopian friend to make sure I get the true taste of Ethopian food!! Well trust me Desta did not disappoint!! We got the fish Tidbit and the lamb tidbit…omg I have to say the Fish was reallyy good!! It just melts in ur mouth and is soo yummy that it leaves you wanting more! The injera was something totaly new to me…and to get the total Ethopian experience, I had to eat it all with my hands, something about eating food with ur hands…just makes the food taste even better!!! I was soo impressed. To finish it off we got some Ethopian ginge tea….add a tiny bit of sugar, and trust me…the tea was just perfect!!!” – Anisha
“Wanting out of the same old, same old lunch offerings, my daughter and I went for lunch at Desta. What a GREAT choice! Nice atmosphere, good jazz, kind and considerate waitstaff. And the food was perfect! We shared a vegetarian combo platter and a platter of fish tibs. It was more than we could eat, and inexpensive, too! What a nice find. Thanks, Yelp!” – Joe
“The fish tibbs are excellent as are the rib eye tibbs. The greens that come with the dishes are also very tasty. Everything is seasoned very well and the servers are really cool. This is definitely my favorite ethiopian resturaunt…” – Justin
“A colleague recommended Desta to me as one of the more authentic places to try his national cuisine. We got one order of lamb tibs and one order of kitfo (the Boy was feeling full on, raw meat-consuming carnivore), and enjoyed both… Also, I’m completely fascinated by the breakfast menu here. Props to Desta for keeping things authentic…” – Laura
“The ambiance is coolly laid-back and elegant and the food, namely the kitfo with collards, is excellent. My mouth waters just thinking of that dish. My waitress was pleasantly surprised when I requested it raw and very pleased when she discovered that I ate the whole thing. The dish had the right amount of spice, which paired nicely with the smooth, rich honey wine. It is definitely worth the trip…” – Alison
“The service was impeccable, always at the ready, often offering to get things we didn’t even realize we needed. I had the lamb, which was pretty solid, but my lady had the vegetarian plate, which was both delicious and ample. If you’re into Ethiopian or looking for something new to shake up your bland dining experiences of late, give Desta a shot.” – Herman
“It’s been about 10 years since the last time I had Ethiopian. Let me just say, Desta was an awesome place for a reintroduction. I remember really enjoying eating ethiopian — a very visceral experience — and I’m back in a city where I won’t have to wait 10 more years for my next Ethiopian mean. Desta was really terrific. Service was terrific, the staff was very welcoming, and the food was delicious.” – Jesse
“Desta is my top Ethiopian restaurant in town – I love it. Desta isn’t like your traditional Ethiopian restaurant. It is a modern take where dishes are served per individual and not in one communal plate. Since Desta started out as a takeout restaurant and they have always had to prep their food, the food comes out much faster than a traditional Ethiopian restaurant.” – Molly
