We were heading to Adelman Peony Farm, and I searched for restaurants nearby there. For some…read morereason, Roth's popped up, and I read elsewhere someone mentioned IGA, I knew it must be like a market and a restaurant. Wrong! It's a grocery store, with salad and soup bar, and order sandwiches. I just wanted soup, Naan bread & Hummus. Hubby wanted to order his own sandwich. He got BLT. I've already found a table, but it's not a restaurant, more like where employees go for breaks. Hubby, on the other hand walked back to pay for our food, and to order his BLT, and go back when it's ready, and there are no utensils where there are tables, so he had to walk back there again. By the time, he's ready to sit down with me to eat, I'm halfway done! His BLt is still dripping grease, and he had to have strong teeth to bite the meat off his sandwich. They didn't look fresh, it was leathery & greasy! Part gray, part white. That's NOT bacon! I'm glad I didn't get that. My soup was just OK. I did enjoyed my Naan & Hummus. Hubby went back to buy a sweet bakery to share, I put mine in the cooler, for later. This is not the type of restaurant, that I have in mind!

They have a salsa island, with baked beans & jalapeños Toriados means their fried! On steroids! They have sautéed onions as well! They sell Mexican bread too!! Let's go!! At the register they sell Carne Seca, dried steak like jerky! On steroids! Can't go wrong with this place! The place has plenty of seating, it can get pretty loud since there's tons of people! Get it while it's hot!

UPDATE: I have asked for insurance information from them but they won't give it to me after telling…read moreme they had good insurance, I've been given the run around anytime I call and I have been lied to and told it is now between their insurance and me but refuse to give me any information, emails or phone numbers. Most of the employees I talked to spoke perfect English until I mentioned that I got injured in their store and would like to talk to HR they all of a sudden don't speak English anymore. The guy in charge says their HR will call me but after I had to call them back days later he proceeded to tell me it's just him and they don't have an HR. I will be hiring a lawyer and I am in excruciating pain after surgery and having to do all of this is just ridiculous. DONT GO HERE. The meats are terrible the cake is old and dry with moldy fruit and the prices are insane and the employees and customers in this place are incredibly rude but that isn't why I'm writing this review. I don't even know where to start I'm so angry, on April 8th I tripped and fell leading to me breaking my foot in 4 places due to their negligence. There was clear packing tape all over their floor that my foot got caught in and I tripped. I am now going in for surgery on Monday morning to put titanium f*cking plates in my foot and if I don't do this surgery my quality of life will deteriorate I'm looking at a life long disability and I'm looking at a 6-12 month recovery time....my summer is gone all the trips I had planned are gone my independence is gone and my mental health is at an all time low. I have zero money to repair what these people have caused and I can't work. I now have to waste 6 months of my life in bed due to the negligence of these employees not to mention the sheer judgement I receive anytime I go to this store with friends. I received zero help when I fell all I got was employees staring at me like robots. I'm young and this put a HUGE dent in my life. I am fed up with the legal process the healthcare process and the lack of urgency, I've reached my limit when it comes to patience.

There are only two tables in the store so I was confused about whether it was a restaurant or a store. After reading previous reviews it sounds like they only serve lunch on the weekends? I really want to try the place out as I love Indian food, especially if I'm not preparing it! But overall, it's a great little store and they had all the precious spices I need to make every Indian dish imaginable.

The sign outside said "20 samosas for $30". I figured I would get about 25 samosas, which is $40 worth, according to their advertised price. But no. I was given 20 samosas. The rude man at the cash register proceeded to tell me that I could not use two "coupons" at the same time. Nowhere in the store or outside was this "20 samosas for $30" ever advertised as a coupon. I told him this, and he continued to insist that I was wrong. Another kind customer in line next to me agreed with my argument and refused to buy the products she had been planning on purchasing. But the man did not budge... This employee then proceeded to walk swiftly to the back of his store and pick up a large ladder, which he then carried out the door and up to the sign outside his store. He took down the letters spelling out this "coupon" and yelled at me about how I was "the only one he'd had a problem with ever about this deal." Maybe more people should learn to do math. Whatever happened to "The customer is always right."?

I didn't want to keep asking my husband for a bite. But a smart thing I did I used my tzatziki on the burrito that I was eating. That was really great even if I got it from another cart. The employee was very friendly, kind and helpful in ordering today. Service took about 10 - 12 minutes (that's not bad at all) We got to sit in the food lot under an umbrella at the picnic tables. The break from the sun was really appreciated!

I ordered the beef Kebab place strictly based on the picture on the outside of the cart. Dallas was so hot when we visited, and I noticed that he had cold drinks, so I grabbed a diet coke; while, we waited for the food. The beef Kebab was excellent I highly recommend it. I'm usually not a fan of tzatziki, but I did enjoy his taziki. We wanted a small container of Tzatziki but he gave us a full size container, and he would not charge us for it. The Humus could use a bit more tahini though. There is plenty of street parking here. We highly recommend this food cart.

You take your time and get to chat with friends and actually taste the food. The chairs are plush and comfortable and you never feel rushed. A fresh ice cold bottle of water is brought to the table and the service was amazing. So warm and friendly and they explain the menu if you have any questions. The food is clearly the best I've had in a long time. The spices are so rich and flavorful. Half the menu is vegan/vegetarian and the other half has meat options. If you want to sample a bit of everything they have a delicious platter. The braised beef is melt in your mouth tender and so good! 10 out of 10.

Gursha Eats is truly a gem in the Salem, OR community. While spending a week there (Salem),…read morevisiting my best friend, she took me all around Salem to explore some of her local favorites, and Gursha Eats was one of them. Now, the last time I had authentic Ethiopian food was many years ago, with the same best friend at this Ethiopian spot in Orlando, FL - the name of which is escaping me. Needless to say, it's been YEARS. So, I was very excited to visit Gursha Eats because my best friend had done nothing short of speak AMAZING things about this local eatery. And, naturally, Gursha Eats did not disappoint. Again, I repeat, what a gem! The staff were just the absolute sweetest! Service was top-tier and quick as can be. However, the food was the MAIN attraction. I got the platter, so that I was able to try a little bit of everything, and wow, wow, WOW!! It was so flavorful. My goodness! I was truly blown away by how wonderful everything tasted. I have found African & other black & brown cultural (& being of Caribbean descent - so I get it) cuisines very filling and heavy. So, I didn't eat a ton while there because I got full pretty quickly, but I was happy to have leftovers to enjoy later, and that I did. The leftovers were just as amazing as eating it in the restaurant. Nothing was overly spicy. Everything was served fresh and paired very well with the tea I requested, but I am drawing a blank on the flavor I got. I was truly a happy camper after that meal. If Gursha Eats didn't know this, they know now, I am a FAN for life. And for as long as my best friend calls Oregon home, I will be sure to find my way to Salem to visit Gursha Eats. If you are a local and have not been, please give them your patronage. If you are visiting Salem, as I was, I also urge you to visit this local gem. You will not, I repeat, you will not be disappointed. This little spot is definitely worth it. Before I wrap this up, the restaurant was previously a Latin cuisine spot, so when you walk in, it is a mixed fusion of Latin and Ethiopian decor. It blends quite nicely - actually. So, just a fun little fact. Do not let the previous signage and decor throw you off because Gursha Eats is a bit newer. I am sure, in time, they will slowly convert the decor to more traditional Ethiopian aesthetics. And even if they don't, as I mentioned, the fusion of cultures kind of works well. It definitely has a nice homey feel to it, too. So, overall, you just get the feeling of visiting family. It is just a warming and inviting spot to visit. Again, please, please check this local eatery out. It is so worth it!
