Authentic Ethiopian Food, great atmosphere, and location. The food is great and has good vegan options. Only one hostesses/bartendar so be prepared to wait. They were not super busy and this was my first time so hopefully they have the young lady some help on busy days. She was pleasant and attended well to our needs.

This is amazing! Quality food, authentic test and excellent service. Goorsha can accommodate those who want to test something different or those who missed habesha test. I liked it.

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 can share or not depending on how close you feel to the other diners at your table.

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 Ethiopian music that was lightly playing in the background too. I would definitely recommend this place to others.

Giving 3 stars because I’m Ethiopian but the food is doesn’t take like Ethiopian food. It’s missing the authentic taste… no berbere no salt, just bland. You can tell it wasn’t made by Ethiopian chief. Please fix this!

Spent this past July 4th dinner hour here. Many restaurants were closed and Goorsha had great reviews. We were not disappointed. Great family run business, very friendly and the food was outstanding. Perfect seasoning, prepared awesome. Not much ambiance, but that was beautiful in its own right. Would definitely eat there again.

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 (like many places nowadays). Make sure to get extra Ingera to soak up any leftover sauce! If you've ever thought about trying Ethiopian food or just want to try something different and tasty, Goorsha is a great place to go!

Delicious! Everything we tried was amazing - from the appetizer to the main dishes (lamb, chicken & beef) to the Ethiopian cocktail to the desserts (the fried cheesecake was the big hit!). The server was attentive and kind and sang happy birthday to our twins. The owner was wonderful - he came and talked to us after the meal. We will recommend to everyone!

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 causing allergic 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.
