First time trying Ethiopian cuisine and OMG! The food is absolutely delicious. Every single side I included was better than the next. I was in town on business and I wish I had a Desta in Florida. I can’t wait to be back in ATL to have this dish again.

It is one of the best rated restaurants in the Atlanta area. I've visited here more than 10 years, and it's great every time. Try the meat lover. You can pick variety meats, veggies, and sides. Location is right off at I-85 exit 91, where you can easily get to. I recommend it to anyone.

What a hidden gem!! We wanted to try something different on our way back to TN and this hit the spot. I haven't had real Ethiopian food in years so I was beyond excited to try this place. The service was great, they answered our questions and made sure we were good throughout our dinner. The food was delicious. I would of taken some to go but we had a few hours before we reached home so I opted not to. What surprised me is that my son actually liked it as well and he's a picky eater. If you want some authentic Ethiopian food don't let the outside fool you. Give this place a try

This was the second time I've visited Desta Ethiopian and both times the experience was excellent. I took my wife on a date night the first time and it was such a good experience I decided to take family that was visiting us in Atlanta. The food is very flavorful and the service is excellent. I highly recommend this place!!

Every time, it’s a Hit! Veggie Platter with the Prime Rib Tibs and Lentil Sambousa got me dancing My My My. Slappin. The collards are not southern, they’re Ethiopian. Gotta try em to know the difference. Didn’t taste broth based, more pan seared/ cooked straight up. The pita bread was plain and kinda fluffy and not light and crispy. We are so full with leftovers at a great price. So fast and nice. Really one of our favorite places. They close at 9 during weekdays mostly. Plenty of seating for a kinda small place.

First time trying ethiopian food and I loved every bit of it. We had tibs with tilapia and mushroom, rice, and tomato fitfit. We also had kitfo. We were truly impressed with how flavorful tibs was. My favorite part was rice side dish (i know it’s a weird dish to pick) but its subtle flavor was so lovely. Tomato fitfit is pretty sharp but I loved it. Service was fantastic. We will go again!

This was my first time experiencing Ethiopian cuisine. The food was wonderful and the service was great. Our orders came out really quickly. The location is small but expanding from what I understand.
