Welcome to Ethiopian heaven! ✨🙌
From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for something special. The food was absolutely mouthwatering — rich, flavorful, and unlike anything our taste buds have experienced before. Every dish was beautifully prepared and full of authentic Ethiopian spices that made each bite unforgettable.
Issac, our server, was incredible. He took the time to walk us through the menu and helped us choose the perfect dishes. His recommendations were spot on and made the entire experience even better.
The combination of amazing food and outstanding service made this a night to remember. We can’t wait to come back for more! 🇪🇹✨

Yooo this place is unreal!! Gluten free teff injera (thank you x10000) and delicious meat combo, I added the cheese as an extra. So worth it. Best Ethiopian food I’ve had in a while! Make sure you make a reservation yall, this place stays busy for a reason. Even with a reservation we waited but it was a holiday. Come through!!

I usually get Ethiopian food from Bahel, but I ended up ordering from desta because the food was BOGO on Uber eats. The food was okay. Not the best ribs I've had. The sauce was flavourless and I feel like the food is not really authentic. I've never seen a place where they charge up to $4.60 extra for meat, because tibs is a meat dish. I was only given 3 small rolls of injera, which was not enough for the tibs, and the tibs was the most oily I've ever seen. I used to go to desta years ago but I don't think I can go back. $30 for one awaze tibs is insane. I'm very disappointed because I've heard good things about desta, but I will not be returning unfortunately.

Delicious! Casual eatery. This was our second visit and we downloaded their app on the way out so we could order from home when the mood strikes. Husband had lamb and I had the prime rib. We both chose the greens and injera for our sides. Beautifully seasoned food. Menu includes an index of the different food items and the servers are very helpful with questions. Our servers for both visits were very friendly and welcoming. We will be back.

Ahhhh. If you haven't tried Ethiopian. Go right now. If you have, this place is double excellent. Now, some dishes, like the FirFir can be quite spicy... But it is worth it. Many dishes are not spicy, so just ask. Everything I've tried has been wonderful. People are great.
