I was traveling and happened to find GoJo, and I'm so glad I did! There are no Ethiopian food options within an hour and a half of where I live, so discovering this incredible restaurant was such a treat. I ordered takeout this time--the vegetarian combo, the meat combo, and their special kitfo--and every dish was absolutely phenomenal. I can't wait to dine in person next time!The flavors in every bite were bold, vibrant, and perfectly balanced--you can truly taste the love and care that went into making each dish. My tastebuds were literally dancing with joy! On top of the amazing food, the owners are the absolute epitome of hospitality and kindness. Even with takeout, I could feel how much they care about their customers, and I know the in-person experience will be even better.GoJo is beautifully decorated and creates the perfect atmosphere for an unforgettable meal. It's totally my new favorite restaurant, and I can't wait to return. If you're looking for a place that serves not just food but an incredible experience, you have to check it out. I highly recommend GoJo--you won't regret it!

I had the pleasure of dining at Gojo for my birthday. The food was great and I cannot wait to go back, especially for a special occasion. The staff were extraordinary and helpful. Made our whole group feel like family. The chef even came out of the kitchen to offer us tastes of wonderful items we hadn't tried yet. Thanks so much for a lovely evening!

Great food with solid portions. Quite affordable as well especially when sharing one of the combos. Big fan of the veggie options!

We drove over from the central valley and had a craving for Ethiopian food. This place really delivered. Almost deceiving when we entered for a late lunch, only one other couple was there finishing their meal. We were drawn in by the smell of the delicious aromatics and a warm smile from a man who was going to be our server, chef, and Ethiopian hot sauce/seasonings expert. Needless to say, everything was wonderful.

The food and service was wonderful. We went on Saturday night and were the only people there, but I don’t know why…definitely a hidden gem! The food and service was excellent. Every dish was delicious, hard to pick a favorite! The family that runs it is so kind, and genuine. The decor is great!
