"Desta Ethiopian Kitchen’s second location is open at Emory Point, across from the CDC on Clifton Road, according to their social media channels. The restaurant announced last December it would open in the former BurgerFi space at the complex. There was speculation this would become the new location and owners Ash Nega and Titi Demise would close their restaurant on Briarcliff Road. In operation for 12 years in North Druid Hills, Nega and Demise have turned Desta into one of Atlanta’s premier Ethiopian restaurants, landing it on several “best of” lists over the years. Desta is an Eater Atlanta Essential 38 restaurant. The expansive menu allows diners to build their own meals, like the tib platters with a choice of meat, bread (get the injera,) and sides such as tomato fitfit, as well as several vegan and vegetarian dishes." - Beth McKibben

Best Ethiopian food in the area! We had a feast! The short rib is mouth watering and the meat lovers is a great portion to share.

I've been here over 5 times in the last 3 weeks! I love this place and whenever we come in a lot of other people do too, so I don't think I'm the only one. It's definitely different than other restaurants that I've been to, but it's so unique that it's awesome. The manager, Bebe, is the sweetest she remembers me and hubby whenever we come in! In fact, all of the team members are super nice. Food is always quick to come out and well-cooked! We love the Tips Meat Lovers option and get the filet mignon, salmon, and chicken, sometimes we get an add on of shrimp. The seasoning is always on-point and the flavors are amazing. Warning, it's a small place so if you come on a busy night then you may have to wait. I hope they get another location soon because they're too spectacular not to have more than 2 locations. I love Desta!!!

I liked everything about this place. The food, the service and the ambience. The menu is not like the average Ethiopian restaurant. Unique way of ordering, unique combos and it just works. The fish with shiro was very good. And of course no Ethiopian dish is complete without tibbs.

Food is wonderful. Atmosphere is little different from original location but food is still excellent. Great if you want to have a quicker meal.
