Reviews

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

I’ve had many Ethiopian restaurants but this might be my favorite.
The vibe of the restaurant feels very authentic, and it was packed on a Saturday evening.
We got the mixed vegetable and meat platter which was incredible.
For the meat, they let you get chicken tibs which was amazing.
It was super reasonable for the amount of food you get.
I was impressed and will be back!

Owner response

That's fantastic to hear! We're thrilled to be considered among your favorite Ethiopian restaurants.
It's wonderful that you found the vibe to be authentic, and we appreciate you joining us on a bustling Saturday evening.
The mixed vegetable and meat platter, especially with the option for chicken tibs, sounds like it hit the mark for you.
Looking forward to welcoming you back for another impressive dining experience!

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
