Before heading there, I checked the opening hours on Happy Cow and on their Facebook page to make sure they were open. Everything indicated that they were open, so I made the journey over. Unfortunately, when I arrived, the restaurant was closed. It was quite frustrating. Vegan businesses, please make sure to update us on your opening hours so that we can support you!

Located near city hall, right along the light rail line, the restaurant offers an exotic experience with Ethiopian music playing (not too loud) and burning incense. Be prepared to tear the injera bread and scoop up the flavorful stews for a unique dining experience.

I really enjoyed the food at Gursha's! It's perfect for sharing with friends and the best part is that it's all vegan. read more I really enjoyed the food at Gursha's! It's perfect for sharing with friends and the best part is that it's all vegan.

Basically you sit down and order the Injera which comes with all sorts of Authentic Ethiopian Dips. It came with 3 dips (a chickpea, lentil, and Split Pea), a salad, a traditional cooked Potato and carrot stew (although I think Cabbage would have added to it) and a hot beet stew. My favorite was the Shiro which was literally finger licking good, and the Misir Wat had good flavor too. When I walked in the gentleman working there showed me a picture of the injera with the various stews, and it looked small on his phone, but when it came out it was the biggest Injera I've seen in an Ethiopian restaurant in Israel. As Jared mentioned in the previous review, one serving is probably enough for 2 people. Considering the size of it, and it's modest 40 Shekel price, it is really an amazing deal, and one of the best bangs for your buck in the city. I walked out feeling totally stuffed and super energized, and I'm already planning my next visit. If you want a protein packed, fresh, delicious, and affordable Vegan meal full of Ethiopian flavors I highly recommend checking out Gursha.
