The customer service was amazing! The food was delicious and fresh. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and the I absolutely loved the rice. I would highly recommend their tiramisu; not only it was beautiful to look as but also delicious. I went with my friends to for graduation celebration and I would highly recommend for any friends and family get together. The atmosphere was really nice and the restaurant was very clean. Can't wait to go back!
I ordered the chicken rice and lentil and it was all very good! The staff were so friendly even though we were slightly loud and stayed for a long time. I really enjoyed this hole-in-the wall spot. Despite the size the inside was very well ventilated. It was definitely a popular place to eat because there was a lot of people. And despite the fact that the bathroom was just 1 toilet , it was kept very clean! I would definitely eat here again!
Stopped in for a quick lunch & left very happy and satisfied!
Customer service⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We waited a little too long before the hostess saw us and seated us. The waiter was very nice, forgot a few things but overall did a good job.
The Food⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’ve had Ethiopian before, but never this good. I was extremely pleasantly surprised at the seasoning and the punch of flavor with every bite. Everything was extremely fresh and also beautifully plated.
The Ambiance⭐️⭐️⭐️
They could use a little help in this department, we were only given the option to sit outside and even though they had some heaters it was quite cold and our feet & hands got very cold.
Cleanliness⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I would have given them five stars if it wasn’t for the bathroom being such a mess.
This was our first time trying an Ethiopian Cuisine. I could relate the food and taste to Indian and Mediterranean cuisine.They have vegan options too.The presentation of the food was appealing.
The ambience of this place was good and clean. The lady who served us was polite, pleasant and helped us with the menu as we are new to the cuisine. Overall it’s a good option to visit if you love Ethiopian cuisine or you need to try something out of the ordinary like us.
First time at Desta, I enjoy Ethiopian food and so had to try this new restaurant 😋. It was packed but luckily we found table without any wait. The staff was friendly and very kind. We ordered vegan platter, it was enough for 2 persons to share. Loved the spongy bread (that's my favorite part) 😍 the lentils, cabbage, mushroom stew and everything else on the plate was delicious. Good quantity and quality. Will definitely come back with the fam! Keep up the good work and service!
Lovely food with great people. You are fan of Ethiopian cuisine then you must try Desta. Usually there is always a queue or wait time for 15-25 mins minimum at weekends during lunch and dinner hours. I will recommend to book a table in advance if you are visiting during that time.
So I’ve always been looking for good Ethiopian food and we have been eyeing this place for the longest time. This was the first time we ate here and I have to say I’m a huge fan. Halal options in particular are super useful. Not everything is halal so I would double check with the staff for sure. We got the meat platter to try the different meats in our favorites where the chicken and the lamb. Both of which were halal.
Otherwise my favorite thing about Ethiopian food is Injira. This is traditional Ethiopian bread which is soft but has a mild sour aftertaste to it which is delicious especially when paired with the other food. The honey Filo pastry and egg appetizer was delicious too. Strongly recommended.
Very good food. Delicious. Our server was very helpful & patient. She helped us pick what we like. Recommend some of the really good items. Long lines for dine in. We waited about 45 mins but totally worth the wait. Napoleon & tiramisu dessert were too good. Awaze is for you if you like spicy 🌶 food.
