Reviews for Goorsha in Durham, NC
The food was delicious and my friends and I met the owner and chatted for a bit, learning more about the food and the benefits... it has on our body. The staff was nice and the location was an intimate size, which was perfect! I really enjoyed the Ethiopianmusic that was lightly playing in the background too. I would definitely recommend this place to others. Read more
Authentic Ethiopian food. My first ever experience was in college. The food is truly delicious. The flavors are phenomenal. I... definitely recommend. Don’t be hesitant. The owner is so sweet and lets you know what to order. You will not be disappointed! Read more
I've eaten at Goorsha several times, both dine-in and to-go. It's been delicious every time!! The food is always fresh,... healthy, and comforting. The staff is super friendly and accommodating, despite being shorthanded at times when I've gone (likemany places nowadays). Make sure to get extra Ingera to soak up any leftover sauce! If you've ever thought about tryingEthiopian food or just want to try something different and tasty, Goorsha is a great place to go! Read more
This is our favorite Ethiopian restaurant. We drive 40 minutes to get here because it is worth it!!! My son is allergic to... wheat and it's relatives the injeera here is made of 100% teff unlike other places where some other grains are added causingallergic reactions. The portions are just right, taste is authentic. Clean restaurant with excellent service.The food doesn't take too long to get ready which is nice when you are really hungry. I would recommend this restaurant. Read more
Great Ethiopian food! The menu explained the dishes well and the server was very helpful. Would recommend to anyone who would... like to try (and enjoy) authentic Ethiopian cooking. Read more
Great Ethiopian food but have had better. We ordered the sampler for 2 for 46$ which was well portioned. My only critique is... that it could be spicier and the lamb was quite dry. Otherwise this is a great place as an introduction into east African food. Read more
Food was delicious for the most part, the injera was a little too sour for my taste; and our waitress was lovely. However, when... we requested for our checks to be split into 3 separate parties (there were only 6 meals total on the ticket), we wereexplicitly told “that’s too much work.” And when we explained that when we sat down, we weren’t given the option ofsplitting our ticket prior, we were explicitly questioned “well, did you ask?” Then the same woman went on to lecture usabout how it’s our sole responsibility to mention if we want the checks split as soon as we’re seated, then she went on toexplain this is how a majority of restaurants handle checks, regardless, of if that’s been our own personal experience. Hertone was very condescending and ruined my experience and perception of the restaurant. I am unsure of her role at Goorsha;however, I hope moving forward, the woman who degraded us is able to learn interpersonal skills. Read more
Carefully made, rich and boldly spiced but with delicate flavors I have missed at other Ethiopian restaurants. The injera is... really nicely sour, too. They have a whole menu of local hard ciders! With the dishes individually served like this, you canshare or not depending on how close you feel to the other diners at your table. Read more
