Westside Village Desta is Atlanta's go-to Ethiopian restaurant. Easily identifiable thanks to its striking towering brick facade and distinctive signage, as well as an exposed beam awning extension, this eatery makes an impressionful first impression with casual booth seating along its walls, large tables in the middle for large groups, Afrobeat or R&B playing in the background, creating a cozy neighborhood vibe.
An exquisite menu of organic fare transports diners' tastebuds straight to Africa for an aromatic dining experience. Delight in shared appetizers such as Shiro Fit Fit (ground chickpeas seasoned with spices) served atop injera (an Ethiopian flatbread used as the key utensil and to reprimand pretentious dinner companions by lightly face-slapping). Meat lovers will love Goden Tibs (sizzling prime short ribs marinated in Desta sauce), while meat lovers may opt for platters tibs (sizzling short ribs marinated in Desta sauce along with onions and peppers).
Meals are typically eaten with hands, although flatware is available upon request. Postmates delivery can also make life easier for guests - just enter your delivery address to see if this option is available before selecting an available time and delivery time - you could even set one up so it shows up precisely when desired!
