You haven’t had a true Ethiopian meal until you’ve received or offered .
Would you try gursha?? 🤌🏿🤌🏾💕
In Amharic it translates to “mouthful”. Gursha is the act of feeding someone a small bite using your hand. It goes beyond satisfying hunger and symbolizes love, respect, and gratitude. For us, it’s an everyday act of bonding and profound togetherness.
Are you ready?!! Come order a meat combo or veggie combo (or anything you’re feeling), tell Alem or Fekad you want to try gursha and they’ll walk you through it like family.
