I thought that when I came here I would see gojo, like sotaru gojo, but I ended up getting really good ethiopian food. So like the lesson is that just because something says gojo, doesn't mean there is gojo.

First time here after trying several other places. We got the meat combo and special kitfo and did not regret it. Food was amazing! I honestly couldn’t decide which of the dishes I liked best. The portions are also good sized as we couldn’t finish it all in one sitting (I usually pride myself on always licking the plate clean and I had to admit defeat). The staff/owners are wonderful, friendly, invested in your experience. Definitely will be coming back.

Came here for the first time after googling for an Ethiopian restaurant- was a very good choice. I ordered veggie and meat combo with my husband and my favorite was the yellow beans and chicken- seasoning was just right. The vibe seems authentic, they have a room with traditional clothes and plates with a mini tent in the ceiling. Perfect for chill Friday dinner

Delicious! We got the meat combo and veggie combo. It was more than the two of us could finish but it was the best Ethiopian food I’ve had! I can’t wait to come back. Great staff and service. Even the tea was delicious. Five stars!

We loved the service food and atmosphere of this restaurant. I’ve always wanted to try this restaurant and food and had the opportunity for an early dinner. It did not disappoint!

A wonderful restaurant! Every time I've been here the staff are extremely friendly and lovely to talk to - often giving recommendations and getting excited to show people new things about the cuisine. I would highly recommend coming here anytime.

Went with a party of 7, understandable that wait would be slightly longer, but it was out of line. Even the tables with less people around us waited a long time. The restaurant had like 3 seated tables, not even full. We waited around 20 minutes to get to order. The food after took an hour to come out. The 3 girls in the group got smaller plates with a bed of half injera while the 4 guys got large plates on a bed of full injera. The waiter said they just ran out of plates, but the order they came out didn’t make sense. They made sure to give the large plates to the men. Not only that, the guy who ordered the meat combo got an extra entree without ordering it, while the girl had the expected amount, still seemed like less food. Food itself tasted good, but not worth the wait. I hope they are not giving less portions to certain people, not fair as we are all paying the same price.

Really authentic food full of flavor, ice cold beers, friendly staff - this place has it all!

Abysmal service. It took over an hour to start getting food for our group of 7. We thought they were just making everyone's so they could be sent out at the same time, but no, between the first and last person served was 30 minutes. We had to constantly ask for more water and even went up and got it ourselves because no one was around for so long. When they did fill our water they took multiple people's cups and then gave back the wrong ones. Nasty that their health standards are so low in plain sight. They got our order wrong even after we explicitly asked them to read it back. Finally the worst part was that all the women in our group got smaller plates with half servings of bread and all the men got full plates even though we ordered and were charged full price for both. They claimed they ran out of plates. But there were 6 plates visible in the restraunt at the time and like 20 empty seats so that is a blatant lie. Would recommend to never go here.
