Wow! I was blown away by this excellent place. I had no expectations on the flavors or options, but did know that we should... have the combo for two and select the dishes. Their spicy food is decently hot, but not overly spicy. The spicy chicken wasamazing! Eat with the utensils if you want but I ate with my fingers using the bread as a gripper. Mint tea was great! As wastheir spiced tea. We will be back and can?t recommend it more. Read more
Great food at a decent price. There was only 1 server and the restaurant was full;however, the food came out fast. We ordered... the entree for 2 where you get to pick 5 different vegetarian or meat entrees with injeria for $30. The iced tea was excellentas well. Highly recommend it! Read more
Wonderful dinner - yet again!

Keep up the great work & thank you for thetotally unexpected 15% birthday discount Hurry. We?ll be back!! ???? Read more
Richly flavorful Ethiopian food, ready in a jiff and at extremely affordable prices! $12 got us helpings of three different... succulent vegan dishes, plus a pile of warm injera. This was a wholesome, nourishing lunch for two. The cabbage/potato/carrotdish was my favorite, with its rich turmeric taste, but it was all excellent! Read more

Desta is the one place we would never miss going to whenever we are in Tucson. We always get the Vegan Signature Plate, which is... a sampler of all the vegan items on their menu, served atop traditional injira bread. (Nos that many dishes feature meat). Allthe various dishes are just SO DELICIOUS. The Vegan Signature Plate is enough food for 4 people, so since we are 2, we eitherget it to go and put aside half before we start, OR if we are eating in, we ask for to go boxes right at the start and put halfaside. Do this otherwise once you start diving in, this soon turns into a "dog's breakfast". We also like to get the desertwhich is not on the menu but always sits on the counter. It's an almond cake with raspberries, or something like that. It goeswell with their coffee. Our Vegan Signature Plate plus two slices of the almond cake cost us $52 with tax. Unlike a regularAmerican restaurant, when you pay on their Square terminal there is no suggestion to add a tip! So bring some cash for a tip.They deserve it! The owners are hardworking family members who have built a devoted following. We are from the LA area, but asyet have not found anything in LA's Ethiopia Town that compares. Read more
