Desta Ethiopian Kitchen: Authentic Ethiopian Cuisine in Atlanta

The menu was confusing if you don't know the names of they're dish, I wish they had pictures but the staff was amazing and super friendly. They brought out samples for me to try. I ordered the salmon sandwich Cajun lentils and rice it was BUSSIN/delicious!!! I will definitely be visiting this place more.

Best Ethiopian restaurant in Atlanta, hands down! The food is authentic and always fresh. The service is always on par and the ambiance gives you a true African and Caribbean vibe with the music. Although I love everything I've tried on the menu, my go-to meal is the Salmon Tibs, Gomen, and Injera.

I came here to celebrate with my family after my white coat ceremony. We had a decent sized party but were still seated immediately. My friend and I both ordered the chicken tibs and she also ordered Sambusa. My mom and mother in law shared a meat lovers platter and my dad got the vegan platter. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food! Everything was delicious! The chicken tibs were delicious and went well with the injera! The collard greens were a little salty but besides that chefs kiss The restaurant had a nice ambiance and vibe, the lighting was definitely set to set the mood. This would be a great place to go on a date!

First time here and the food was awesome!! I highly recommend the tibs, we got the chicken tibs and it was delicious! The chicken had a nice seared flavor but was tender and juicy, and the vegetables also had that same delicious smoky flavor. We also got their potato stew, which was also good but for the price and taste, would say the tibs was definitely the star of the show. For dessert we got the baklava, which was nice, sweet, and flaky but not crunchy. A good baklava but nothing too special. The service was great, they were so nice and knowledgeable about the food. Ambiance is like a clean, typical sit down, very spacious, clean, and organized. Good for dates or for just grabbing a quick bite of good food. Highly recommend coming here and getting the tibs! Great bang for your buck with delicious flavors!

In town for a few days in Atlanta and me and my girlfriend decided we wanted something different for lunch. We found this place on Yelp with high ratings and decided to stop in. 5 star from start to finish! The location was very clean, great and fast service and food was immaculate! Portions were generous and the price was very affordable. Btw, they also serve cocktails! Highly recommend breakfast, lunch or dinner here when in town. You will not be disappointed! Cheers!

Still my favorite Ethiopian spot in Atl. And the best prices to boot! Service is always great, and the food is delicious. It tastes like it's made with love.

I just slapped myself for not trying this location sooner!! I have been driving past this one all the way to Briarcliff for almost 5 years! This location was nice and had the same friendly and engaging service. Most importantly the food was GREAT! i tried something new, Salmon gored gored. It was spicy as hell but delicious. Samson was an excellent server!

Great flavor in every dish. My favorite was the shiro. Nice size portions. Price is a little high and they charge for additional injera. I think seeing the extra charge is a turn off. This definitely made me try to work with what I had which is silly.
