Gojo is a name given to Ethiopian traditional home. The secret cooking of Gojo lies in the mixture of exotic Ethiopian spices. In preparing our traditional spicy dishes, we use Berbere - a combination of powdered red peppers with some ten different herbs and spices. We add fresh garlic to Berbere. Another important ingredient is purified butter called Kibbe. The dishes are eaten with fingers using Injera - a spongy crepe like bread. For the most authentic "taste of Ethiopia" we like to suggest a glass of organic honey wine called "Tej". For the perfect conclusion to your meal, we prepare Ethiopian coffee with full ceremony when ordered in advance. Some of our customers said, "Its is not where you eat, but it is what you eat." We like you to experience our traditionally prepared dishes. Let us take you to 1500 B.C. >>more

All food ordered is delivered to the table on a communal platter layered with a spongy palette of injera , a soft, fermented flatbread made from millet. The cook pillows all the entrees on top, covering the entire tray with steaming food. Unlike other restaurants, Gojo, with its small staff, serves the sides of injera slightly chilled.
Ethiopian dining is extraordinarily intimate. Fingers are the delicate utensils of choice. Meals traditionally begin with the host pinching a morsel of food with a piece of injera and feeding it to the guest. This gesture of hospitality is often exchanged throughout the meal by everyone present. >more
