    Vegetable Platter
    Haydee J.

    When I called to place an order, Mimi took care of us and recommended a veggie platter and meat platter. I just went with her recommendation because I have never had Ethiopian food before. When I arrived to pick up the food, the ambiance inside was warm and inviting with the music and incense, and Mimi was very kind and friendly. The food was also incredibly delicious and comforting. I will definitely be coming back

    Simple and quiet inside. Mimi extended very warm hospitality. It was our first time having Ethiopian food and what a good place to experience it for the first time. We shared a veg platter and golden beef tips. All the veg was absolutely delicious. We finished with tiramisu which was also good, Mimi picked it out for us. Absolutely suggest checking it out.

    ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!!! I can't say enough good things about this place. The flavor is undescribable. Every single bite is literally cooked to absolute perfection. This is hands-down of one of my new favorite places Mimi the owner is super nice and welcoming. The environment is really cute. It's an absolute must go. I will say it's good to call for a reservation because you might get turned away if you don't have one as it's a small intimate place.

    Gursha is a hidden gem that deserves the hype it has received. I did takeout (veggie platter) and was helped by the owner herself! She was absolutely sweet and came out to say hi to my puppy that was in the car. Everything was absolutely delightful/fresh tasting and really appreciate the injara to veggies ratio. Not sure of the item in red, but that item was absolute perfection!

    The veggie combo platter doubled for three people.

    Authentic Ethiopian food, just what we were looking for! Excellent service. We had the veggie platter which offers a variety of excellent dishes. Be prepared to eat with your fingers, part of the authentic experience! Call ahead 48 hours to get gluten free injera.

    First time at this Ethiopian restaurant. Decided to try this on Monday night. The ambiance is dimly lit restaurant , with not the most spacious seating. They weren't busy at all so we were served attended to right away. The server was very friendly and gave us suggestions on what to order. We ordered the awaze tibs, and lamb meat dish. Both were very flavorful and tender. I thought the awaze tibs were better overall. It was nice trying out this hidden gem. Although they were out of a few side dishes that I wanted such as rice ; I'd still come back and give them another try.

    this genuinely upset me. Lucy's would NEVER do this. this veggie platter cost over 30 dollars to deliver pls tell me why this is all that it comes with. the uber eats has no photos of the food but to think that they think this is sufficient for that price is disturbing. where is the VARIETY ?!?! and it wasnt even good , like it all. it tastes sour + undone.

    Came in here to get my Ethiopian fix and it did not let down. Sambusas - berbere in oil sauce was on point Veggie platter - I don't know what's what, but I always love me a combo veggie platter Goden tibs (short ribs) - flavor wise was good, but they were a little overcooked Awaze tibs - tried this to get something different. Very saucy Kitfo - this meat with the cheese and additional spice on top is one of my favorites (have to request the spice on the side) -the menu seems small compared to other Ethopian restaurants that I have been to, but they have everything I crave

    Tibs

    We were greeted by a waiter the moment we walked in. The vibe was nice, the restaurant is very clean and my family loved their tibs, it was very tender, homemade, and extremely flavorful. The restaurant just had a very homey feel with a very very respectful hostess who was so kind to my grandWe ate in and took an order to go!

    Menu as of Sept 2023
    Melissa R.

    Food: Scrumptious. 5/5 stars for taste. 3/5 stars for portion sizes. For appetizers we got SANBUSAS (not on the menu) and FOUL. Both were tasty. Sanbusas are definitely finger food, size wise. It was three of us, so they recommended two vegetable platters. Everything on the platter had an amazing taste. They even had fasolia included, even though it wasn't on the menu. Portion wise, the three of us were still hungry after eating this meal. Service: They don't offer water to drink, sadly. I had to pay for water which I'm not used to at restaurants... Then they brought us some room temp water in the 100 degree Vegas weather! At the end we waited a long time because the two people working there had ZERO clue how to work their register, so we couldn't pay right away. Place is clean. Food is super delicious. Portions can be a little bigger.

    Ethiopian coffee ceremony for two
    Mark P.

    Just tried Gursha for the first time while visiting Vegas. We were craving Ethiopian and wanted something off Strip. The ambiance was calming upon entry, and we just relaxed and took our time eating. The food was delicious, and came with plenty of injera! We ordered sambusas, the veggie platter for 2, and the kitfo (add the berbere!). The owner was incredibly welcoming and friendly. She was our server and was cooking too, and we could feel the love she put into everything. We finished off our meal with the Ethiopian coffee ceremony, served to us by the owner with incense burning, a perfect way to end our meal at Gursha. Highly recommend!

    Ask the Community - Gursha Ethiopian Restaurant

    Is the injera here gluten-free or do they add barley, rye or wheat to their injera as a filler?

    I called Gursha on 2/7/24. The woman I spoke with said their injera is made with 10 percent barley, so not gluten-free.

    Delicious food, lovely staff and convenient location…read more I haven't had Ethiopian food in a while, so instead of choosing one dish, I opted for the half meat/ half veggie platter. The portion is huge so be prepared to share and still have leftovers to take home. My favorites were the beef with onions and meat in green sauce. For veggies, I loved the greens and steamed spinach. Simple and clean to enjoy between the other flavors on the plate. I do wish the yellow and green lentils had more spices/ seasoning since they were a little bland. Overall a great platter though. The lentil samosa is also delish!

The owner of the cafe was very accommodating and made wonderful conversation. Traditionally, Ethiopian coffee takes a good while before it's prepared and ready to drink, and that's true here. This is because the coffee beans are roasted fresh, ground, then slowly boiled in a traditional black clay pot to extract all the flavors. Back in Ethiopia this gives time for family and friends to socialize and enjoy each other's company as the coffee is getting ready. If you're in a rush then this isn't what you're looking for, but if you have some free time and want to hang out this is perfect. Be warned, Ethiopian coffee is STRONG. If you're sensitive to caffeine and really want to try some I suggest eating something here (they have a lot of different snacks and Ethiopian food) first and then having some traditional coffee so the caffeine is released into your system slower.

I got the mildest spice options for both dishes when ordering online. 1. Lentil: Savory red lentils stewed in garlic, onions, and berbere. 2. Alicha Kik: Split beans cooked with olive oil, onions, garlic, ginger, and turmeric. Both dishes were fantastic, with the lentil having more overall flavor and spices than Alicha Kik. The legume mashes, and the injera bread, are vegetarian, healthy, and gluten-free! I loved my order from Axum Palace and have absolutely no complaints. I'm going to be ordering from them again too!
