110% one of the best place in Des Moines. We got once a week (at least). Just utterly delicious.My go-to is the Missir Wot and Doro Wat with Injera. The mango smoothie is also out of this world.Do yourself a favor and try this place. Especially if you’ve never had Ethiopian food. It’ll get you hooked!!

I LOVE this place!! The food is great and an enjoyable atmosphere. I recommend going later in the afternoon as I find the flavors have more time to marinate. The service is excellent and people there are always kind. It’s one of my favorites and great location.Vegetarian options: I’m not a vegetarian but those selections are my go to choices always!! The beef tibs are flavorful and made the whole house smell amazing when I brought it home.

My first time eating Ethiopian food and my first time at Gursha. The beautiful women behind the counter were very friendly and helpful with selection. Decided to go with the two person 5/entree combo. They put the food on a large tray covered with Injera (A spongy flatbread. I didn't like the texture and it is tasteless). The only part of the meal I didn't like.It was the perfect amount of food for 2 and incredibly delicious! The textures and unique spices were a delight and the spiciness ooohhh La la!On street parking, cafe-type seating, and you bus your own table so it's not fine dining. The food is worth it! The price is on par with similar-type restaurants. I will definitely be ordering take-out from here! Recommend.

This place was excellent. We told the staff it was our first time (not only at the restaurant, but also having Ethiopian) and they were super helpful! The food was delicious and nice quantity!

I think I’m in love with this place. The injera is divine and everything I’ve ever had there is SO flavorful, hearty, and satisfying. And bonus, it happens to be super nutritious.I used to DoorDash it often but I finally dined in the other day. I didn’t realize it’s essentially “fast” food that’s hot and ready for you. Now I’ll be going there ALL the time. It’s about to replace Kum & Go for my quick meals!!!
