    This is truly one of the neatest and cleanest restaurants I’ve ever visited. As a vegetarian, I tried their vegan plate, and it was delicious — beautifully balanced spices that bring out the flavor without overwhelming the palate. I can’t say how close it is to traditional Ethiopian food, but it felt thoughtfully prepared and perfectly suited for anyone who appreciates clean, comforting flavors. And their Ethiopian tea — wow. Fragrant, soothing, and perfectly balanced — such a treat! The staff were genuinely kind and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be back

    I recently visited Desta Ethiopian Restaurant, and everything was absolutely amazing! The food was flavorful, fresh, and perfectly seasoned — every dish felt made with care. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and our server Beth made the experience even better. She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Even the coffee was amazing — rich, aromatic, and the perfect finish to the meal. Definitely a spot I’d go back to again!
