Uh mazing flavours.... Spices... like I was in someone’s home love cooking delicious! Loved the combo for two because it gave a sampling of a little of everything. The beef and chicken and lentils and chickpeas and spinach! My husband and mine first time but it was sooooooooooo good! Definitely the stop to make! Forgot to take photos of the food but it was photo worthy!

Came across this new place recently and I must say, that it was an fantastic experience! Ordered the Mahiberawi which is basically an array of meat and vegetable options in one order. The meats were delicious, appetizing and was presented really well! When I went there, there was a live DJ performing. Service was amazing! The owner was very nice in going through the menu with me and learned that the restaurant opened less than a year ago. Will come back!

First time here. Absolutely blown away. It’s hard to find words to describe all the flavours but it’s about 10mins after my meal and my mouth is still happy. 1000% will come back. Highly recommend if you like flavour.

Our first time visiting Gojo! I have had great Ethiopian Food in the past and wanted to give this a try! It did not disappoint, the vegetarian platter and the chicken Awaze were great! Towards the end, when the owner became aware that we were celebrating a birthday , he walked out of the kitchen holding a baklava and a candle! That was our highlight! Will definitely return for the food and the people who run it!

Authentic, delicious, healthy and nutritious food. The staff were warm and friendly and there was a plethora of options to choose from. Both meat, and vegetarian! Just know that they don’t provide utensils, so be prepared to eat with your hands. Although maybe they provide utensils if asked. I didn’t care to find out since eating with hands is just fine for me after a good washing.

This was soooo delicious. We tried the 3 person combo with an extra beef dish. The teas and coffee were very traditional. I can’t recommend this enough. The staff was helpful and friendly and made us feel so welcome as we tried this cuisine for the first time!!

Food is amazing! Each dish has a different flavor profile, finish it with a nice cup of hot Ethiopian tea and your day will end well.

This was my first time trying Ethiopian food and it was such a fun experience. For five people, we got the combo for 4 and added an extra beef dish, the size of the dish was generous. Everyone was very happy and full by the end. The owners were lovely. Will definitely visit again
