  I really enjoy Destas and have never had a problem until this past Saturday when I ordered take out. I ordered Salmon Tibs and Gomen with an appetizer of Sambusa. When I got home I ate all of the Gomen and a little of the Tibs along with the Sambusa. The next morning I woke up with bad stomach cramps, chills, diarrhea, and I vomited 4 times. I was so sick. It's really ashamed because i love their food but I won't be back after this experience.

  The restaurant is beautiful!! Very nice ambiance even in the day. I placed a big order and they got everything correct. Everyone raved about how good the food was and there was not a single complaint. Highly recommend them. Their service food and style are remarkable.

  Desta was incredible! If you don’t read the whole review, read that first line. We went for a corporate dinner and the interior is really well-decorated, and lively, even for a Tuesday night! Our server, whose name started with M (apologies, but huge shoutout) was so kind and accommodating, especially with the group’s dietary needs and allergies. She was also really friendly, which made it easier to ask questions and take our time with our selection. The ginger cocktail (like a mule) was so tasty, and we loved the beef spring rolls. We got the meat lovers and vegan platters to share among 5 people, which was perfect but we did have a lot left over. The red lentils and chicken were the fan favorites, and as always, it’s such a fun experience dining family-style. Would return again and recommend!

  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! 🇪🇹✨

  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.
