Rated  It's better not to put any review, and let the management of the restaurant held a meeting with the staff first and change the way of service. BTW the food iwas amazing, verrrry delicious, BUT how come you enjoy the food if the service is not good, the problem was not that they are not friendly, no.. but: they are NOT professional at allllll.

Rated  Gursha proved to be an excellent place to embark on a unique and novel Ethiopian culinary experience. I was invited for a media preview/bloggers event for the launch of Eskista nights at the Gursha restaurant where every Friday visitors will enjoy traditional dance performances along with food. Situated on the palm, this place boasts itself with beautiful views over the water coupled with relaxed laid back vibe and resident DJ playing peppy music which certainly adds up to the charm of the place. It has both inside and outside seating which would be perfect place to unwind during the pleasant weather in UAE. I absolutely loved the ethnic Ethiopian ambiance with a twist of modernity in its decor. Being an alien to this cuisine, I was little hesitant regarding the vegetarian aspect this place will offer. But I was pleasantly surprised and was not disappointed a bit. We started off with fruit punch mocktail which was just okay. Onto our starters we sampled veg spring rolls and chickpea balls. Spring rolls had a perfectly crispy exterior and was absolutely non oily. It tasted delicious with the accompanied sweet chilly sauce. Ethiopian cuisine is a communal experience which is basically centered around sharing. For the main course, we had their vegetarian sampler platter which was served along with injera bread. Injera is their sour dough bread made up of Teff grain which is gluten free. The platter consisted of a tangy chick pea stew, lentil stew, fresh salad, pieces of injera bread soaked in some sort of curry. The dishes were very flavorful with a sharp kick of spice. I thoroughly relished it. For the desserts, we had mini servings of Chocolate fudge and some fruit flavored custard dessert. Being a chocolate lover, I absolutely loved the chocolate fudge which was rich and super indulgent. We also had a visual treat of watching traditional Ethiopian dance performances which was very energetic. Overall, this place is a perfect mix of Ethiopian food, culture and its music, all juggled in one place. From warm hospitality to delectable food, from lovely music to wonderful dance performances, our experience at Gursha was absolutely wonderful and memorable. Most definitely recommended!!!!

Rated  I loved the vibe of this place. I visited this place on a Tuesday night where I was happy to see Ethiopian cultural dance being performed. I visited this place for an event organised by a PR agency. I'm a vegetarian and therefore was sceptical about what would I get for dinner. I must say Ethiopian food does have vegetarian options. Since my palette isn't used to the taste of Ethiopian cuisine I took sometime to develop the taste, but enjoyed the new flavours. Staff was kind enough to help me explain the dish being served and how it's prepared. For those who are doubtful about giving this place a try should actually visit this place, choose Tuesday so that you can enjoy the cultural dance along with a distinct culinary experience. For a change it's good to try something unusual yet tasty. I'm in love with the decor which is a blend of ethnic contemporary look. soulstylesouffle.com

Rated  Being a foodie I was invited for the Iftar Preview at Gursha #IftarAtGursha . This was my first Ethiopian Restaurant experience. The place is located in Palm Jumeirah on trunk. Ambienc is very lovely and interiors is interesting. Their outside seating view is very nice with the sea view. Staff were very friendly and sweet. Met the chef Megine from Tanzania and Manager Olyad sweetly explaining the dishes. Welcome drink was served with lemon mint and juices. Starters: Dates and roasted Almonds Cheese, vegetable and chicken samosas (sambousak) Chicken and vegetable spring rolls Buticha bite with Avacado dip (Authentic Ethiopian) made with chickpea flour. Main dish: Started with hot mutton broth soup and lentil soup. Grilled chicken tastes good and very juicy with mitmita labneh. Ethiopian staple food Injera (like Indian dosa) made with grains fermented for 3 to 4 days. To match with Injera they had chicken gravy followed with some rice. It was bit incomplete without dessert . All over it was different experience Enjoyed the whole ????

Rated  I had visited Gursha for the launch of their Eskista nights, a traditional Ethiopian dance which is highly energetic and entertaining that you feel like dancing too. It takes place every Friday and Saturday night from 9pm to midnight, the cultural show will focus on the traditional Ethiopian dance, Eskista.  We started off with the fruit punch which looked visually appealing but let's just say I've had better. Then came the starters and one of my favorites from the night is called the Buticha Bite, a kind of chickpea fritter. The other starters were the Samosa and Spring Roll which were good too. For mains it was a sharing platter with salads and other sides infused with injera while I specifically liked the one in the center the others were about average probably because I haven't yet developed a palate for Ethopian food. The platter is served with a side of injera bread which is a sourdough risen flatbread and is gluten free. But pretty much everything was sour for my liking. Finally the desserts where we had the chocolate fudge cake and the custard. While I loved both the custard specifically stole my heart. Great place to hang out on a weekend because they've combined food, dance and fun! Oh and there's free parking too ????

Rated  I am grateful to be living in Dubai and have the opportunity to indulge in various cuisines from across the world. I am also grateful that my family is as much adventurous as I am when it comes to food and jumped at the chance to try out Ethiopian cuisine for the very first time. We had little or no knowledge of what to expect as we made our way to Gursha on a fine Friday afternoon. ...Read full post on grubafare.wordpress.com

Rated  A beautifully decorated and located place with a short cultural ethiopian dance show. We orders Ye Getosh Gursha...which is a big meal covering half of the menu and enough for two. Ketfo (raw meat), tebs (fried meat), gommen basega (spinach with meat), katgnea (injara with butter), gored gored labb labb ( lightly fried meat), fosolia (green beans), misser (lentile), dorowet (chicken with red sauce), atarkik (lentil beans) and of course injara bread. I had some nice juice recommeded by our host Adis who provided a great service. We were surprised in the middle of our meal where our waiter brought some Italian bread saying that Injara had finished, we said that we will stop eating as we can't eat this food without the ethiopian injara... and miraculously Injara started coming to the table again... why the drama guys!!! Thanks to Adis who found in some secret drawer. I ordered another gored gored since it was delicious, unlike the Tebs which was served cold. It was chocking to notice that the nice ethiopian music stopped while we were eating and some Latino music started to play, and a group started to learn how to dance salsa ad if they were in savage garden.. I ordered a brownie witg an ice cream as a dessert, it was good until I had an iron paper in my teeth where I informed our host. And the ethiopian traditional coffee was not really the good one you get usually in ethiopian places.. it wasn't jabana or bunna by any mean. As for the Bill, I got all this experience for 600 AED... not bad... but not good as well )))

Rated  Tried it once, and wasn’t a big fan at all. Overall disappointing experience, the food wasnt good, the service super slow, and its not authentic food. The only food thing is the view and the decor.

Rated  Disappointing experience in trying the Ethiopian cuisine. We were so confused and couldn't decide what to order as the waiter wasn't able to give us a clear idea between the choices. We have ordered the Ethiopian platter which has different choices of food. Portions were very small but anyway the taste wasn't great to make us order more. The bread tastes sour which is how it is supposed to be. If you sit outside the lighting is dimmed so barely could see what is the food is made of. I just like the location of the place.
