Living in Minneapolis, I know what good Ethiopian food is. I've been disappointed with the Ethiopian selection in California, but this place did not let me down. Don't sleep on this restaurant because it appears unassuming. I was surprised at how good this place was. This is just as delicious as any other Ethiopian restaurant in Minnesota. Mimi took our order and she was fantastic and super helpful in telling us how much food would be enough for us. She hyped up the food and it delivered. The food came out fresh. I was in heaven eating all the injeras with the meats and veggies. We ordered the veggie platter x 2, dorotibs, and tibs. Everything had superb flavor and I could not stop eating it. Even when we ran out of injera, we were brought more so we could continue feasting. I would eat Ethiopian food every day if I could. When I go back to Vegas, I'm definitely going to eat here again. read more

Outstanding, finger lickingly good Ethiopian food! I had the veggie platter - it was just perfect for a blustery cold day in Las Vegas during the CES. The taste, quality, variety, and portion size were excellent! The owner Mimi is very hospitable, outgoing and genuinely warm - made me feel right at home. Highly recommended! I'll be back soon. read more

I will definitely be coming back read more

I'm from Hawaii and the only Ethiopian restaurant there closed a few years ago. I've always enjoyed it and I'm glad to discover Gursha Ethiopian Restaurant on the 9th Island. The food came out quickly, Mimi, the owner is super friendly, and the food... The food is amazing. I had the veggie sampler (of course) and the awaze tibs. The tibs was spicier than they made it back home, but I love spicy food. I asked Mimi what Gursha means, and it means feeding each other. It's a tradition to share good food with everyone on your table. Yum! I'll be back for sure. read more

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. read more

I've tried multiple Ethiopian restaurants and this one is hands down one of the best! Person preparing my order said I would love it. My family absolutely did and we will be back! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Gursha Ethiopian Restaurant - Veggie platter - Ethiopian Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I love Ethiopian food, and this place did not disappoint! We were served extremely fast, and the staff were very friendly, and willing to educate anyone who hasn't had Ethiopian food before. You have to get the spiced tea, it's necessary. The incense was nice and strong, music was playing, but not too loud. I'd definitely recommend. read more

It's been 13 years since I was in Ethiopia, where I ate only Ethiopian food for ten days straight and by the end was pretty injera'd out. But I've since recovered and I'm ready again so when someone suggested Gursha, I was all down. The restaurant was pretty empty when we met up for lunch on a Saturday. I liked their traditional set up, feels authentic. I was not a fan of the burning incense but yes, it is part of the vibe. My friend got the veggie platter and I got the tibs. The server/owner was so friendly and sweet. She was happy to see us and made us feel welcome, as if we were visitors in her home. She suggested a delicious special of beef and lamb but my friend is vegetarian and it would be for two people. So tibs it was and I was happy with it. It was flavorful and made with love. read more

Unfortunately, I am very upset.. it was me and my daughter who come here randomly to eat as we are habesha and instead of eating at a fast food restaurant, why not eat injera. Anyways, I have been bouncing around different Ethiopian restaurants and i thought I found a place which was here at Gursha, it was good the first two times. I was looking for the flavor and spice, as other places wouldn't go so spicy, but as a habesha I need it spicy. So as I went on the third time, my daughter was like tell her to give more meat, so I guess I didn't pay attention to the portion for two people, but she did... so the third time it was a good amount of meat for two people, spice was good, juicy and fulfilling. ( my apologies I usually get awaze beef tibs - spicy and juicy). Yesterday was a complete bummer!!! Thank god my daughter ate at the event prior to us coming here, when we received our same dish.. the sauce was a little off but doable.. it was super juicy so it was chunks of tomatoes and jalapeño's - this is all fine, but as I was eating there was literally FIVE CUBES OF MEAT!!!! I was pissed TF off because that wasn't for one person at all!!! As well as my daughter being there - what if she was super hungry??? Also I was going to have an order to go!! I'm just like WHAT THE FCK!! I had to make myself full by eating the injera with the sauce and the tomatoes. I had a long day if my daughter was hungry I would have complained, but I was over it!! The lady is nice and I understand that life is expensive, but if Im eating at a restaurant I want to be served properly.. even my atetay (grandmother) back home will feed the poor more then what we were served and that's a damn Shame because I paid basically for spicy tomatoes with a lot of sauce! Now I'm on the search AGAIN! Smh read more

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. read more

Gursha Ethiopian Restaurant - The veggie combo platter doubled for three people. - Ethiopian Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

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. read more

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 read more

This Ethiopian restaurant has its hits and misses. We went in a group of 8 and they were able to accommodate us. We ordered the veggie and meat platter which tasted flavorful. The meat dish was spicy which would have been nice if the waiter had told us as we had 4 kids with us. However, as a person that eats spicy the meat dish was good. The portions were on the smaller side. We ask for water and as given bottle water at $2.50 a piece was not what we were expecting so didn't want the water. Later I found out that they charged us for the water that we didn't receive! There was a cash price and higher price if you used your credit card. The waiter gave herself a 20% gratuity as well. read more

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.

Ive been eating Ethiopian food for about 20 years. I have a very sensitive stomach and have tried five different Ethiopian restaurants in the Vegas area this month -- this is the only one that didn't cause any digestive issues. I ordered the veggie platter and was not disappointed! The portions were generous enough to split into two smaller meals, and everything tasted so fresh. The injera was perfectly made -- light, fluffy, and gluten-free. I was especially impressed by the greens and the cabbage/potato stew; both were cooked to perfection with just the right balance of flavor and texture. I'd rank "Lucy's" as a solid second, but their greens were more like plain spinach without much spice or depth. Here, though, every dish is thoughtfully prepared. Since most of the menu items are stewed, they've been simmering for a while -- making them easy to digest and ideal for anyone with a sensitive stomach or IBS. With so many vegan and gluten-free options, this place is a must-try for anyone looking for delicious food that's also gentle on the gut. read more

The vegetable platter and lamb were wonderful and service was superb! A generous bowl of teff injera on the side. More than enough to satisfy the two of us. read more

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. read more

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! read more

This is by far my favorite place for Ethiopian food in Vegas, hands down. The food is always seasoned perfectly, the atmosphere is cozy, and Mimi, the owner, is amazing. Gursha is the place you go to really savor the flavors and enjoy the cultural ambience. I also have to say that, as a vegan with a sensitive stomach, I get the veggie platter every time, and I have never felt sick after eating here -- I cannot say the same for other restaurants. read more

The restaurant was so great I had to write a Yelp Review. If you're coming the Bay Area you know of the many options of Ethiopian restaurants, this one exceeds those in my opinion. Gursha's owner will welcome you in and make you feel extremely comfortable with her hospitality. The inside of the place has a cozy charm with incense burning which really sets off the ambiance. We ordered the usual veggie platter, kitfo, doro wat (special), and the Gursha shekla tibs. All seasoned well and the injera was perfect. As we finished off our platter, we ordered side portions of our favorites like the lentils and the shiro. Food price was completely reasonable for the amount of food and people we came with and had plenty leftover for the next day. We cannot wait to go back again as this is now our favorite spot. read more

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Great Ethiopian food and service off the beaten path. We'd been on an Ethiopian food kick and were wondering if there were any options in Vegas while we were passing through. We were pleasantly surprised to find a few options, with this having the highest ratings. We stopped in for an early dinner and were the only diners in the place. The woman manning the place greeted us enthusiastically and was very friendly throughout, so high marks for the service. The ambiance was homey and pleasant, and we felt very comfortable. We got the usual veggie combo platter: stewed collared greens, red lentils, yellow lentils, cooked cabbage and carrots, and a fresh salad--all delicious, as was the injera bread. A couple of minor complaints are that I thought the cabbage dish was a bit too bland, and the incense was a bit too strong, but otherwise a perfectly satisfying Ethiopian experience. I wouldn't hesitate to go back. read more

I am a lover of all ethnic food, and Ethiopian is one of my all-time favorite. A group of friends and I went to this restaurant. The service was very good, especially how our food was plated by our server. We each selected a meat from beef, lamb, and fish. The meal was highlighted by the wonderful vegetarian selections that we ate with injera. We had delicious coffee afterwards. It was a wonderful time had by all. read more

I had been looking for good Ethiopian food and I found it! Our first time here: Easy parking in front in this mini mall, friendly greeting by the lovely owner, Mimi. The decor was fresh and colorful. We were invite to sit where we like and once seated we promptly received menus . With just the right music coming from East African music videos we ordered Vegetarian Combos. Food came in just the right time beautifully plated with injera on the side. The injera was thin and delicate, the vegetables were delicious with each having its own unique flavor-Just the right flavor and spice. We finished off with Ethiopian coffee and house-made by the owner Tiramisu-the best I'd ever had. Don't miss desert and coffee. The cost was very reasonable too. A 10++ all around. I will be returning often to get my fix of authentic Ethiopia. Don't miss this one!! read more

Don't let the look of the food fool you. It's actually really delicious. I haven't had Ethiopian food before, so this is how it works: the injera is basically a tortilla/crepe but it tastes a bit like bread with balsamic vinegar. You scoop up the food with the bread, and let the food soak into the bread. Eat it a bit like a taco. The beef jerky/quanta is very delicious, but can be a bit tough to chew. We really liked it, though! We really enjoyed the tibs. It's like a spicy steak stir fry and it's delicious. If you're up for adventure and want to try something new, give it a try! You'll be pleasantly surprised. read more
