Was recommended this restaurant by a chef I work with; I'm not particularly a fan of Ethiopian food but I figured I'd give it a go. Needless to say I was very pleasantly surprised; the appetizers (I ordered the Sambusa and Fitera) were simple but well made, and the hot sauce for the sambusa complemented it especially well. The entrees were amazing too -- the marinade on the chicken tasted great and it was very juicy despite how small the tibs were cut (which I was impressed by), and the potato stew had the perfect level of spice to it. Only thing I didn't completely enjoy was the injera, but I have never been one for injera anyway. Overall, a pleasant surprise, and easily the best Ethiopian food I've had
The customer service was amazing! The food was delicious and fresh. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and the I absolutely loved the rice. I would highly recommend their tiramisu; not only it was beautiful to look as but also delicious. I went with my friends to for graduation celebration and I would highly recommend for any friends and family get together. The atmosphere was really nice and the restaurant was very clean. Can't wait to go back!
First time at Desta, I enjoy Ethiopian food and so had to try this new restaurant ????. It was packed but luckily we found table without any wait. The staff was friendly and very kind. We ordered vegan platter, it was enough for 2 persons to share. Loved the spongy bread (that's my favorite part) ???? the lentils, cabbage, mushroom stew and everything else on the plate was delicious. Good quantity and quality. Will definitely come back with the fam! Keep up the good work and service!
