Gursha Ethiopian, an East African social club in Sydney, Australia, was established by Yibeltal Tsegaw and Rahel Woldearegay, who moved to Australia from Ethiopia two decades ago. The restaurant opened its doors in 2017 and offers traditional Ethiopian cuisine built around the principles of kinship and sharing. Tsegaw manages the dining room, guiding guests through the differences between spices like mitmita and berbere, while Woldearegay oversees the kitchen and is known for her exceptional injera, a fermented flatbread central to many dishes.

Other highlights include kitfo, finely chopped raw beef marinated in cardamom-infused butter, and the ataklet be-yeayntu, a combination of vegetarian dishes served with shiro, a garlic-heavy chickpea and tomato stew.
