I have never tried Ethiopian food before and was a little bit apprehensive. I'm so glad I did, this place is exceptional in every sense of the world! They were closing when I arrived but still took the time to make me some food to go. Super friendly staff and a beautiful bar and restaurant. They have a outdoor patio with live music for entertainment.

Really enjoyed this Ethiopian restaurant! We ate with our hands and everything was delicious. I got a vegetarian entree and my husband got beef tibs. We got the top left starter (ha! Lentils in a pastry...) and it was so good.
Loud space but a fun change of pace from other local joints.

Service was a little slow. I arrived in between shifts. However the food was delicious. The server provided very detailed information and even offered a fork😄. The sanitation grade was a 98.5. Would definitely revisit.

First time with Ethiopian food, but very nice. I was a little weirded out by eating with ones hands but you can ask for a fork. Make sure to ask for napkins. Very helpful staff if you need recommendations. It is spicy if that is an issue for you.
All Fullsteam beers on tap, which is nice and a full bar.

Definitely my new go-to weekly treat alone or with a friend. And there's live music sometimes too! Everything was great. The wait staff was accommodating and patiently answered our questions about unfamiliar dishes on the menu. The dining guests were friendly. One guest appropriately came to our table to inquire about my bald head and was civil enough to leave once our food arrived. It was an inviting conversation. My vegan food selections were perfectly seasoned and even my spicy dishes didn't bother my diva stomach at all. Good atmosphere, good food, good music across from Brightleaf Square downtown, Durham.

Incredible food and service. Recommend the beef/chicken combo. An excellent way to sample the food. We know what yo get next time.

We always celebrate the anniversary of our first date with Ethiopian food and last night, Goorsha was perfect! The vegetarian options were fantastic and better than ever before. Ginger iced tea and apple sambosas were also delicious treats. The service was excellent, too!

So damn good. The spices are on point. Wish I lived closer so I could eat this every week. Great traditional Ethiopian food. Service is incredible as well

Loved it. The flavor of the lentils was very unique to me. I have no idea if it's authentic or not, but I'm looking forward to going back
