I have never eaten Ethiopian food before nor have I ever been interested in eating it. Stumbled upon this restaurant when out looking for food that was not Mexican, (nothing wrong with Mexican food. I love Mexican food but just wanted something else). I had no idea what to expect. So glad we stumbled across it. It was so good. If we were here for more than one night, I would definitely return. The staff were awesome. So friendly and welcoming. The food was so good and opened...

I love this restaurant. Their special kitfo is the best in town, I get take out at least once a week. There are other Ethiopian restaurants closer to my home but I go out of my way just for Gojo!

This food is closest to what my Ethiopian friend cooks. DELICIOUS. We got a veggie and a meat and veggie platter. Favourite dishes were missir wot, shiro and doro wot. They also offered THREE different hot sauces which were all amazing. The owner and chef is also incredibly kind and generous.

This place just reopened after renovation so it is a great time to visit. Very cute ambiance. Don't hesitate!
