    It’s really sad because this restaurant has such great reviews but unfortunately I was very unhappy with the quality of my food. Ive had Ethiopian food from many different restaurants and this is by far the worst one. Very disappointed. I ordered the vegan platter and the yellow split beans were hard and undercooked. The collard greens tasted bitter, I guess the garlic they used to cook it in was burnt. It was inedible, my mouth puckered even attempting to consume it. I only enjoyed 5 out of 12 items. Everything else lacked flavor. On top of that I was given 3 small rolls of injera. And I spent $27 (I got gluten free injera). This was definitely not worth the money. So sad that I had to let it go to waste. My favorite Ethiopian restaurant by far is Ethiopiques cafe in Alpharetta.

    They have all of the flavor while still catering to a variety of dietary restrictions. I’m always so impressed with the amount of vegan and gluten free options offered. And the food is always good.

    I’ve always had a soft spot for Ethiopian food, and Desta reminded me exactly why. From the moment I walked in, the warm, aromatic notes of berbere and sautéed onions filled the air—an unmistakable welcome that tells you you’re in for something special. The menu itself is thoughtfully designed, guiding you through the experience based on how adventurous you’re feeling. It’s the kind of place where first-timers can explore with confidence, and seasoned fans can still find something new to savor. I sampled a few dishes that beautifully balanced earthy lentils, spiced meats, and tangy injera—that soft, slightly sour flatbread that ties every bite together. Each dish felt like a conversation between flavor and culture. Desta delivers not just a meal, but a moment—one that feels both global and familiar. And now that I’ve discovered there’s a Desta in Dallas, I can’t help but wonder if it shares the same spirit as the Atlanta location. Either way, I plan to find out firsthand, fork (or injera) in hand.
