Desta Ethiopian Cafe Reviews
Some of my favorite vegan/vegetarian Ethiopian food. And they had a delicious fermented hibiscus 🌺 drink, highly recommend.
This place is incredible. The owners are so friendly, and everything is seriously so delicious. 5 stars all day, everyday.
Best Ethiopian food I’ve ever had. The owner is a wonderful person. She started at the Berkeley farmers market and the ingredients are so fresh and tasty. Keep this place open! Drive slow if yr driving so you can find parking ;)
