Spicy beef tibs, doro wat, firfir, injera, lamb ribs
"Just inside the loop on Greenville Avenue is family-style Ethiopian restaurant Desta. Head in for traditional dishes including tibs (beef or lamb cooked with sauteed vegetables), doro wot (chicken legs in berbere hot sauce), and firfir (injera — an Ethiopian flatbread — in tomato sauce). There are no frills in this dining room — it’s all simple wooden chairs and tables. They let the food speak loudest." - Courtney E. Smith

"At Desta, find upscale Ethiopian food in a bright, beautiful dining room. The doro wat is a must-order: a tender chicken leg and a boiled egg hide in the slightly spicy berberé sauce. The beef tibs are also delicious. Served with grilled vegetables and sizzling on the plate, they are reminiscent of Tex-Mex fajitas." - W. Trace Miller
In North Dallas, Desta’s injera platters with doro wat, tibs, and vegan stews make a welcoming introduction to Ethiopian comfort food. Frequently recommended by Eater Dallas and the Dallas Observer’s Ethiopian roundups, it’s communal dining at its most satisfying.
