I haven't known much about the place, but I've recently started really loving Indian food, so we went in. We were surprised by how elegant and beautiful it is--more formal, luxurious, and stylish than typical simpler Indian restaurants, with six wooden cubicles that add to the upscale feel. We ordered chicken 65, and it came crispy outside and tender inside, served with a green sauce that matched perfectly. Next was chicken tandoori, which was incredibly tender and juicy, with clear, flavorful spices; it came with yogurt and a green sauce with red onions and lemon. We also had butter chicken, rich, creamy, and delicious, along with garlic naan. To finish, we had a mango shake. Everything tasted amazing, and I'll definitely come back.

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.

Appreciate the ample vegan options, including Red Lentils with Berbere, Metin Shiro and Fosolia. Also loved the Sambusa with Deko (jalapeño relish) and Kasheka. Honestly, everything was deliciously savory, balanced in flavor and well spiced. Served with lots of injera to soak it all in. Casual and located right across from Brightleaf, Goorsha did not disappoint.

The food here is soooooo good. I got a large portion of the brown stew chicken with rice & peas and…read moremac & cheese. $20 for the chicken with 2 sides, and a $3 upcharge for the mac & cheese. The chicken is dark meat served on the bone - and by on the bone, I mean falling off the bone, it's so tender and moist. There are also some carrots and potato bits in the gravy, and I would happily eat a whole bowl of just those. The rice and peas (beans) were perfectly cooked. When I ordered through the Toast tab screens they have set up, it gave the option of indicating whether and how much gravy you'd like on the rice. I did the standard amount, which I think is just right, as the rice balances out the saltiness of the gravy. The mac & cheese was also really good - creamy, with some chewy baked cheese crust, and a hint of tanginess. The large portion was a ton of food. I shared my plate with my toddler, who loved the chicken, and it would be enough for at least one more meal. I also got a chicken patty, which had a curried chicken filling that brought a bit of heat. Too spicy for little kids, but not so spicy that I was hurting from eating it. We ate in the restaurant, which is clean with several tables. It's counter service, and it seems like they pack everything as if it's to go, even if you dine in. For folks with kids, they do have a single high chair. I don't remember seeing a changing table in the ladies room.

I was very disappointed when I arrived home and opened my container and find out they've given me cabbage instead of collards. Also, I ordered the large plate and the portions were small, smaller than I've ever had before. Both the plantains and jerk chicken were burnt, everything was exceptionally greasy. I won't be going back to Angie's anytime soon.

Jamaica Jamaica has been around forever as a staple to the RTP area, and while the rest of the…read moreworld has been changing, a lot of Jamaica Jamaica has remained the same since I was younger, which I have no problem with! With their big lunch boxes, and delicious food, Jamaica Jamaica got me hooked on Jamaican/Caribbean food and I consider it one of my favorite cuisines. I'd say my Jamaica Jamaica life could be split into 3 segments, in which I would always get the same thing no matter what. My first phase was the curry chicken - such a fantastic dish with chicken that came off the bone, a vibrant curry sauce, and potatoes and carrots to round out the dish. When you paired it with rice, cabbage and plantains, it was an almost perfect meal. My second phase was the curry shrimp, I was always enticed by having a seafood option. The flavors of the curry shrimp were the same as the curry chicken, except the vegetables varied. I enjoyed this dish too, but I would say the biggest issue would be that the shrimp sometimes got really soft after sitting out for some time. My current phase is their Jerk chicken. I would say that their Jerk chicken is unique because they make the chicken, but they let it sit in a sauce that soaks up the seasoning. This is a great topper for my rice, but I think it contributes to the fact that the Jerk chicken is definitely not as flavorful as I know it to be. It misses the mark on bringing the heat, it has some flavor and heat but it is very very mild in my opinion. Generally speaking, I would be aware of the Jerk chicken drying out. This has happened to me on an occasion or two, along with the rice being dry too. Outside the realm of food, I would say the interior could use a little work. The furniture is a bit dated and things are cluttered. However, the staff working there is nice and they always pack the food in a big to-go container, so you can bring it back to the office, and then home because they are not shy about the portions. Glad that hasn't changed!

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. Service was good and the servers were patient and welcoming for us first timers when we arrived at almost closing time.

That said, I ordered takeout from Dragon Inn this weekend, in particular the sesame chicken. The frozen chicken strips flavor could not be hidden despite the sesame brown sauce! I realize chicken is expensive these days, but this is inexcusable from a restaurant, it's not even trying. I will NEVER order from them again, and would encourage others to avoid this restaurant. Truly unbelievable. I'm still amazed at the audacity to serve highly processed frozen chicken strips masquerading as a homemade dish. Yuck.
