Goorsha serves traditional Ethiopian fare – like tibs (meat sautéed in spices) and Shiro (chickpea stew) – with a modern twist. Whether you select a communal plate to share or prefer an individual portion, each dish is crafted using local, organic ingredients to honor tradition, health, and of course, flavor.
We look forward to making your event memorable, and tailored with
you in mind.

I've come here many times over the years and the food is always amazing with wonderful service. The staff can give recommendations to match your preferences (e.g. I'm very wimpy about spicy food!) and there are excellent vegan options.
We had been craving Ethiopian and were excited to discover Goorsha. The portions and flavors are great, even for someone like me who isn't into very spicy things. They have outdoor seating and the day we went was the perfect day for eating outside.
Goorsha was great, one of the restaurants that makes me feel happy about recently moving into an adjacent neighborhood.Ethiopian is one of those cuisines I usually feel moderate-to-positive about but am rarely blown away by.
Delicious! We tried all 6 of the vegetarian items, which they were kind enough to put on one big plate for us to share. I was disappointed that they did not have mead, which most Ethiopian restaurants often have, but they did have lots of wine, beer, and cider options to please the palate.
I am Ethiopian, and I can confidently say that goorsha has the best Ethiopian food in the triangle. On top of that, as a DURHAM resident, I can vouch that this patio is one of the best outdoor experiences that you can find downtown. It's a win-win! Highly recommend.
