If you're looking to try something different and experience Ethiopian cuisine, Desta is definitely worth checking out!

We ordered drinks from the bar and the bartender although nice was VERY slow. He had to remake the drink I ordered because he forgot the peach flavor. The food all in all was good but not sure I would come back again. I will try anything once. Pack your patience.

Visited 6 June 2026…read more Overall, we had a good experience. Parking is shared with other businesses in the plaza, but there is plenty of available parking, including enough space to accommodate 18 wheeler trucks. When we first arrived, the older employee seemed a bit intense. He encouraged us to take our time reviewing the menu, but remained nearby watching us before we ordered. He also came across as somewhat aggressive while my friend was placing their order. After another customer voiced a complaint and left, his demeanor appeared to improve and the remainder of the visit was more pleasant. The food portions were very generous. We ordered the goat with chapati, which resembles roti skin, and two people were able to share it comfortably and leave satisfied. We also shared the king fish and rice, which was excellent and still left us with leftovers. Another friend ordered the tibis with spaghetti, and that portion was large enough that leftovers had to be taken home as well. The menu described the tibis as spicy, but we did not find it spicy at all. The food was flavorful, the portions offered great value, and there was plenty of seating available. While the service could have been more welcoming at the start, the quality and quantity of the food made for an enjoyable dining experience overall.

Now I ordered the Ledet combo and it was a very filling portion. I honestly think you could share it with maybe one other person.

The decor is amazing and there's enough space for large group or even smaller groups. Definitely recommend checking this place out!

I had not eaten before I left and after several hours there, I was HUNGRY. Because I had taken Uber, I asked the lady at the counter where was the closest restaurant within walking distance. She directed me across the street - just a hop skip and a jump from the bookstore. to Jebena Bistro. Never having eaten Ethiopian food, I decided to give it a try. As "Noelle" to the right, said, it's a little "hole in the wall". From the outside, it's nothing to write home about. But as soon as I walked in, I knew I was going to enjoy it. First of all, the lady that waited on me was so kind and welcoming. I asked her for her recommendations and she suggested several things. I ended up choosing the vegetable platter. When she brought it out, she explained to me that they eat with their hands. There was no silverware. She showed me the bread that they use to soak up the food with. It was made of a sponge-like substance and was rolled up. The platter was SO good. I quickly filled up and had to get a "to go" box which was filled with food. The amount of food I received for price I paid was ample. It easily made me a second meal at home. This wasn't a fancy place. But the food was very tasty and I will go back in the future.

The Asa Tibs (salmon) come with one side and injera or rice for $22. I had injera and cabbage. The meal was solid! Packed full of spices, well seasoned, and a very large portion. It was enough for two days of food so no complaint with the price. My food was ready when I arrived and handed to me by an employee who was very pleasant and welcoming. Spread the word and support this small business serving of Ethiopian food in Terminal South. I'm looking forward to trying more of their sides.
