Family owned and run, great, authentic (as far as I know) restaurant. Ordered their coffee (freshly prepared from beans), meat samosa and beef tibs (plenty to share for two of us). Note: we are expected to eat with our bare hands (no utensils, other than tea spoon to stir sugar in my coffee), so be prepared to experience the meal in traditional way . They explained the dishes/menu to us (first timers) and had great c... View all feedback.
Desta's is fantastic and the food here is delicious. We had never had Ethiopian food before and we will definitely be back. This is a small family run restaurant and the owners were our servers. They had great recommendations and everything was delicious. We tried the combo meat dish, combo vegetarian dish and it was a great way to try a wide selection of what they offer. The meat samosa was a great way to start and the baklava for dessert was a delicious. If you are looking for a true local family run place to support with amazing food, come here.
I went here with my sister for a late birthday dinner. Everyone was friendly, and they offered to help when we said it was our first time (I'd already researched beforehand, so I had an idea of what I wanted already . The samosas were delicious, and I could have eaten a whole plate of them! I've wanted to try injera for a while since reading about it, and it was tasty. I got the doro wot, and I'm glad I did. It came with house made cheese that was really good, especially wrapped in injera, salad, and kik alicha (really good! . We didn't have time for the coffee, but I plan to go back. Beautiful decor, comfortable seating, and lovely food.
I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. The food is excellent and flavorful. It is a little different dining experience from other places, as many of the dishes are not so familiar at first. That's okay! Another thing about this place is the service is excellent. Very friendly people that care about what they are doing. Try it!
My husband and I have been here twice and both times we've been very satisfied with our experience. The restaurant, although small, has ambient lighting, lovely wall art and a deep red that completes the feeling of coziness and fine dining. Our waiters both times went above and beyond to serve us. They explained the items on the menu, showed us how to eat them, kept our drinks refilled, and checked on us periodically, all with a smile. Our food was delicious and came quickly. I ordered Doro Wots both times because I enjoyed it so much the first time. If you're looking for a unique culinary experience in an enjoyable environment, look no further.
Food was fabulous and services was even better. They don't serve alcohol but there is a liquor store in the same strip mall and you can grab a bottle of wine and they will serve it to you for a 5$ corkage fee. This is a dining experience.....Super fun. We will be back.
