This is the second vegetarian Persian restaurant I've been to. It gave off no overt sign of the…read moredifficult times currently facing that part of the world. The menu includes a few options with tempeh but is mostly vegetable based, and is not full of artificial fake meats or weird fusion stuff. Ordering a sprout salad was a good decision. I was worried the nuts would be excessive but it was a reasonable amount, and the dressing and finely shaved vegetables made for a light experience. My vegetable stew came with some aromatic rice, and a satisfying flavor mix. Ordering tea was a good idea as well; almost everything in this cuisine seems to be lime-flavored. The overall portion size for price was not overly favorable. The location is near the hospital system and in an area with dicey parking, it does have its own parking spots outside and in an adjoining garage.

My friends and I got takeout last night, and as soon as I walked into the restaurant, I knew that…read morethe food was going to be good based on how delicious it smelled inside! I ordered the samosas and the osh soup which were both indeed delicious. Not only was the food amazing, but the owner was probably one of the nicest people I have ever. She was so friendly and she even gave me some tea to try for free which I thought was so sweet of her to do. I definitely want to come back and try their other menu items soon!

For the appetizer our server, Fern, reccommeded the Chettinad-Style Chicken. It was the dry style…read more Cooked perfectly and had a nice kick. Mangalorean Chicken was full of flavor. Not a spicy hot dish. Would be good to introduce someone to Indian food. Lamb Vindaloo was spicy, but a really nice flavorful spicy. The lamb was cooked perfectly. What I believe I love most about the dishes is that they were so meaty! Most times you get more sauce in the dish than the meat. I loved the dishes weren't soup like, thicker and bursting with flavor. We ended the night with a cranberry oatmeal and chocolate chip cookie. Definitely a must have to get the cookies! Will be going back to experice the bar area which you wouldn't know was there if it was closed. Fern took great care of us andmade fabulous recommendations. Love the decor of the restaurant and speakeasy feel of the bar. The added touch of the box with the menus and silverware gave the experience that special touch.

The good: - The decor and ambience is excellent, I love the thoughtful design and wanted to take photos of everything! - The service was friendly and explained the dishes well - The mango lassi was heavenly, I'd come back just for the drink, loved the cardamom flavor! - most of the meat was halal! - The chettinad chicken was delicious, like the best thing we tried. Flavors were great and I liked the texture. - the garlic naan was different from most Indian restaurants and more bread like but heavenly, I've tried naans like this before and so glad I could taste it here too! - the fish moilee, low key felt a little expensive for what it was but at least it tasted good! I like the tangy coconut flavors though the paratha it came with was disappointing, but flakey and very dry. Room for improvement: - We ordered the jaggery chicken because it's not something we usually see on menus, I wouldn't call it an Indian dish but an elevated chicken roast and I liked it a lot! Unfortunately it wasn't hot or warm when we ate it so we took most of it home to reheat. I also feel like it should have come with some sides, tandoor dishes typically do like even a little side salad would have been nice because it was too dry to eat with naan. - the aloo tiki chat was not it. It was potato wedges with some sev sprinkled and barely any yogurt. It definitely needed a lot more going because it was super dry and not flavorful. Nonetheless I'd return to try the mango lassi again and try their featured cake!

I was thrilled to learn that Ethiopian was on the menu in Durham given I miss having it at every…read moreturn while living in the DMV. And when I last lived in Durham 30+ years ago, having Ethiopian on Main Street Durham was unimaginable. But Durham on so many levels is a completely different universe. Goorsha is a very pleasant small dining room off a welcoming bar area when you come in. It was overcast and cold this early March day but the outside dining must be lovely later in the spring. We had a very helpful waitress answer a few questions and the food came quickly. The Sambusa appetizer should have perhaps taken a bit longer. The edges were crisp and tasty as was the Deko sauce it came with. But the center was still a bit cold so a bit more time was needed. I wanted beef tibs and went with the Zilzil tibs knowing there would be less sauce and danger of staining my work clothes. They were plentiful, well-cooked if not powerfully seasoned. They were quick to bring ample powered pepper so I could give it some kick dipping each injera enveloped bite for some added heat. The winner was my vegetarian dining companion who went with the very flexible pick three from many vegetarian options. They were a distinct yet complimentary troika of richly favored dishes. At least for lunch, Goorsha goes with individual plates rather than the traditional round platter family style so familiar in Ethiopian cuisine. It definitely worked for us given one of us was a vegetarian and the other all tibs all day. Definitely very glad to see it just across the street from Brightleaf Square and one of the earliest areas converted from tobacco warehouses to fashionable eateries. Glad it is part of the Durham eating scene.

I loved the green sauce that came with the samosas I'd eat it with everything!

We ordered: Saag chicken Chicken Tikka Masala Bhindi masala (okra) Lamb biryani And 2 garlic naans-- which were not gluten free but I was the only one who couldn't eat the naan. Rice came with the dishes. And so did Raita (yogurt sauce). The food came within about 10 minutes. It was delicious. Morris was our server-- he was very kind and helpful and attentive to our needs. I highly recommend this place. We asked for saamf (an after meal digestive) at the end and they brought it to our table.

Paired with the coconut chutney and sambar, it felt comforting and authentic without being overly heavy. The chutneys tasted fresh and well-balanced, and the sambar had a nice depth of flavor. The Mysore masala dosa was the standout for me. The dosa itself was beautifully crisp on the outside while still slightly soft inside, and the spicy red chutney spread added a great kick without overpowering everything else. The potato filling was well-seasoned, not too oily, and had just the right amount of spice. Every bite had a satisfying crunch followed by warm, savory flavors. Overall, everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. If you're craving South Indian food, this spot definitely delivers--especially for dosa lovers. I'll definitely be back to try more from their menu. The place is nice and looks classy.
