"With two locations now in Atlanta, this restaurant institution focuses on traditional Ethiopian dishes. Founded by Ash Nega and Titi Demissie, Desta began life as a bite-sized restaurant accommodating only eight diners inside. These days, the sprawling Briarcliff location and the newest location on Marietta Boulevard serve Ethiopian breakfast staples like kinche (cracked wheat porridge with Ethiopian butter and spices), as well as sambusa stuffed with minced beef or lentils, goden tibs (short rib), dinech wot (potato stew), and beef or salmon kifto wraps. There’s also a full vegan menu and a variety of drinks to choose from, including Ethiopian tea." - Carolyn Desalu
