"The Original Meat Lover's platter ($35) is ideal for sharing. You pick three meat options(get salmon, ground beef, and lamb tibs), and get three vegetable sides - arguably the best part of the meal. Pick gomen (which are sauteed collard greens), the cabbage and potato, and misir (spiced, rich red lentils). The vegan platter ($18) comes with all 12 vegetable offerings. End the meal with a towering slice of tiramisu and Ethiopian coffee."
"Desta puts friendly service at the forefront. The Westside location is a no-frills, casual place. The walls are warm tones of orange and yellow, with African art strewn throughout, and the air is thick with berbere spice. The booth seating is ideal for spreading out - you'll want to, as massive platters piled high with stewed meats and bread take up every inch of the table."
Desta Ethiopian Kitchen, opened in 2006 by Ash Nega and Titi Demissie, operates locations on Westside and Briarcliff Road in Atlanta. The menu emphasizes communal platters such as the Original Meat Lover's ($35) with three meats and three vegetable sides, and a vegan platter ($18) with twelve vegetable offerings. Notable sides include gomen, cabbage and potato, and misir. The Westside location offers no-frills, casual seating, warm orange-and-yellow decor, and an aroma of berbere spice. Meals pair well with Habesha lager, tiramisu, and Ethiopian coffee, and many items work well for takeout and sandwiches.
