The Gojo Experience

In Amharic, "Gojo" refers to a traditional cottage or hut—a symbol of protection, home, and warmth. At our restaurant, we honor this meaning by treating every guest like family, inviting you into our home to share a meal from a communal plate.

Our kitchen uses authentic ingredients imported directly from the Horn of Africa. We take pride in our Injera, fermented for days using nutrient-rich Teff flour (naturally gluten-free). Our stews owe their complex flavors to Berbere (a sun-dried chili spice blend) and Niter Kibbeh (aromatic spiced butter), slow-cooked to perfection.

Beyond the food, we celebrate the Ethiopian tradition of "Gursha"—the act of feeding a loved one a morsel of food as a gesture of friendship and love. Whether you are here for a full traditional Coffee Ceremony (Bunna) or a quick vegan lunch, Gojo is where culture and flavor meet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Ethiopian food very spicy?

Ethiopian cuisine is known for its flavor, not just heat. While dishes like Doro Wat use spicy Berbere sauce, we also offer mild options like Alicha (turmeric-based stews) and many non-spicy vegetable dishes.

Do you have Vegan or Vegetarian options?

Absolutely! Ethiopia has a long tradition of plant-based eating. Our Veggie Combo (Beyaynetu) is 100% vegan and one of our most popular items.

Is your Injera Gluten-Free?

Yes, we make our traditional Injera using 100% Teff flour, an ancient grain that is naturally gluten-free and rich in nutrients.

Do I really eat with my hands?

Yes! It is a communal tradition. You use pieces of Injera bread to scoop up the meat and veggies. It makes the food taste better! However, forks and knives are always available if you prefer.
