Goorsha

This place is so tasty and has REAL FOOD. Their lunchtime game is awesome. There's a lunchtime bowl option with injera, two veggies and a protein. I had turmeric beef, beet salad, potatoes and cabbage and red lentils. I feel full, nourished and happy. Service was friendly and attentive.

This was our very first visit to Goorsha and Ethiopian cuisine. There were four in our party. The food was intensely flavored and two in my party felt the food to be too spicy to racy at all. We split two appetizers and three entrees (1 beef, 1 chicken and a vegetarian sampler). I really enjoyed the appetizer, the beef and the vegetarian sampler. My daughter liked the beef and loved the vegetarian sampler. Or server was acceptable. We asked for guidance on selecting the entrees. She either didn't understand our questions or spoke little English. She managed eight tables by herself so she may have just been over worked. I graded this dining as four stars because of its unique cuisine and the food being well presented for all to reach and share.

Atmosphere: Goorsha is a friendly Ethiopian restaurant, with warm and colorful decor. Service: Our server was kind, and the food came out at a reasonable time. Food: We tried their Awaze Tibs Beef. The beef was a bit tough and more reminiscent of a plain fajita than the tender and flavorful dish it was supposed to be. The injera was spongy and nicely fermented, but we wish that the meat we scooped lived up to that level of flavor. Overall: We're glad to have given Goorsha a try, but our meal wasn't as memorable as we had hoped for (especially given the hype around Goorsha). Maybe we'll come back in the future to try some of their other menu offerings!

Super racist. Maybe be more inclusive. I was yelled at by a bunch of people because I wasn't their race. I lived in Los Angeles for over 10 years and ate at so many places. I have never experienced this level of in your face racism. The fact that the owners could see that I was being harassed by their customers and did nothing to stop it means I have no respect for them. They will never get another penny from me and I hope they go out of business

I recently dined here and had an outstanding experience! The service was friendly. The food was absolutely delicious! The injera was perfect and served as the perfect base for the flavorful dish I tried. The portions were generous, and everything tasted so fresh. If you're looking to try Ethiopian food or just want a meal that's full of rich flavors and great service, I highly recommend Goorsha. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu!

I had never experienced Ethiopian food before so I was very excited to try this spot. I don't do spicy food very well so the server helped me pick something that I would like and I loved my dish. Many of the dishes my friends got were very spicy, so be cautious if you don't want a spicy dish. The food was so flavorful & I would highly recommendTrying Goorsha is a great way to explore new foods and mix things up!

This place is amazing! We went after after a strenuous hike and were famished when we got here. We reached reached at 12:30 pm on a Saturday, so the restaurant was a bit empty so we got very prompt and personalized service.We sat outside, it was a bit chilly but we enjoyed it nonetheless. The server who took our order did a very good job of explaining the menu items to us and explaining any queries we had.When the menu is short and sweet like Goorsha has, you can be rest assured that the food will be good. And that is exactly what we got. We ordered the vegetarian plate metin shiro, kek alecha and fosolia. By the end of it we were licking our fingers and wanted so much more! While we were heading out we saw there special tea service on a different table and will definitely be back for it and other menu items!

My first time trying Ethiopian food so I have no clue how to review it (had a great time eating but i couldn't tell you how it compares to other Ethiopian restaurants). Walked in around 8p on a Thursday night and was seated immediately for a table for 2. Started with the Sambusa- a MUST. I was afraid it would be spicy given the jalapeños, but it wasn't too much (I cant do spicy and I would eat this again and again). My friend and I split the Doro Wat and the Zilzil Key Wot, and got sides of the beet root salad and Azifa. I personally liked the beet root salad and doro wat the best.

This was my second time ever eating Ethiopian food ever and first time eating it in a restaurant and I was blown away. I felt like all the flavors and spices were unique and definitely took my palette on a culinary ride! Can't wait to go back and try more food. First, the lamb was sooooo tender. The chicken bbq sauce was absolutely out of this world. I really loved all the veggie dishes, especially the carrot and peas and chickpeas (metin shiro). The only veggie I didn't care for was the cold green lentils. One minus for me is the injera was a bit too sour for my taste. If they could ferment it just a tad less, I think this whole meal would gain another star. Taste: 4/5Presentation: 3.5/5Recommend to a friend?: YesConsistent: 1st time Cost: $Parking: parked in the lot to the right of the restaurant. You have to be patient because there's not that many spaces and patrons from Jeni's and Goorsha all park here.

I tried the Ethopian Coffee, it was a black Coffee strong, aromatic, flavorful.For were main meal we got, a vegan plate with 3 différents sauces made with lentils, chickpea and yellow split peas served with beet salad and injera.Everything was spicy and delicious.The place is located next to Brighleaf Square, the ambiance was not really busy on Monday night. Don't let that stop you.It's not very common to find an Ethiopian restaurant in North Carolina so it is a great place to try.
