Amazing food!! Ordered the veggie combo with side of kei wat and loved everything. Great people working here too, super friendly and you can really tell they care about the business.

Found this gem in San Jose. As someone from the service industry I really appreciate great service and this place went above and beyond. This was my first time trying Ethiopian food and let just say it's like traveling to Ethiopia without getting on a flight. Everything was delicious and new and exciting. It really felt like a journey through Ethiopian history. I never thought food could transport a person but this did that for me. It was rich and flavorful and my taste buds were delighted. I cannot tell you the names of everything but the photos speak for itself. I throughly enjoyed eating with my hands, I think that added such another element of enjoyment. I know Ethiopia is famous for their coffee so I had to try it, unfortunately I did not know that it's not drank with cream and I requested cream.....no problem the owner said give me a few minutes and he left the restaurant and went across the street to the supermarket to get me cream. I was so impressed and embarrassed at the same time that a restaurant would do that. So, to wrap up, this was a perfect 10 dining experience. If you're in the San Jose area and would like to experience some amazing food, look no further than Gojo. Great food and service that is above and beyond. Enjoy!

Go here please, very friendly owner. Asked for recommendations he gave us several good ones 10/10 good 5/10 wait was a bit longer so be aware of that but everything was fresh and we were the only people there so I think nothing was prepared 10/10 service again he was very friendly and helpful Total 10/10 just be prepared to wait but 100% worth

Was in town briefly and wanted African food. This location is a "hole in a wall" but the flavors speak for themselves . We had the vegetarian Plater and one meat platter with DoroWot, lamb cooked with spices. Clearly we jumped on the meat plate so quickly that I didn't get to take a picture. Injera was a little bit more Tangier than I like the sauces were all delicious. Washed down with honey wine. They don't have ice but it wasn't a deal breaker for me. Service was very good and the ambiance was chill. Will definitely return next time I am around

We really just found our new go to spot! It's pretty decent sized portions. We LOVE the veggies! So we got one veggie combo, and one meat/veggie combo! Inside is pretty clean and nice, definitely a good sit down for a super casual date! Parking is a bit tricky, since it's street parting in front. There is a bit of a spicy kick and there may be more subtle options, like the cabbage and carrots. The workers honestly make it even better here! We truly left happy costumers and we will definitely be back!

Do yourself a favor and get both the vegetarian and meat combo! I loved: Mitten shito Yemisser wot Doro wot I liked: After kik Atakilt wot Gomen wot Kei wot Raw Kitfo special (beef) Ethiopian Coffee This was ok: Alitcha wot (dry) Ethiopian Spiced Tea Eating these #goodeats with my bare hands was an awesome cultural experience There are lots of unique flavors and textures and having a large group made things easy to share. Highly recommend dining in as they'll serve you raw kitfo properly. Ethnic rules apply for service and ambiance. It's dark as hell in the restaurant so speak up if you need something or else they'll ignore you.

Meat Combo : Doro Wot - chicken leg with the egg (right side) Kei Wot - beef cubes in red sauce (left) Alitcha Wot - marinated beef (center) It was pretty good! They give you extra Injeera to enjoy everything and it's very reasonably priced as well. I came here for lunch and the parking was pretty easy and the food came out pretty quickly. After I got served though, I didn't see the server until I paid, so the service could have been better

This is my favorite Ethiopian spot in San Jose and I usually recommend it to all my friends who want to try Ethiopian food. The parking is a little difficult but usually we get lucky and are able to park right in front. It's a small hole in the wall place, but it's spacious inside. There are some days where I've noticed it's more busy than others. I always get the meat combination, and the portions are huge! 5/5! I get a side of the their ayib (traditional Ethiopian cheese) and it pairs really well on top of the meats. The meat combination includes three types of meat from left to right in the photo: Doro wot: a chicken stew in hot spices, herbs, seasoned butter cooked until tender (my favorite!!) Kei Wot: Prime beef cubes marinated in red pepper sauce, seasoned butter, garlic onion fresh ginger and cooked until tender. This one is my second favorite Alitcha Wot: Prime beef cubes marinated in a mild flavor full sauce, seasoned butter, garlic onions fresh ginger and cooked until tender (third favorite) I like their Ethiopian flat bread called Injera, and that's usually what you take pieces of and then pick up a piece of meat. It's super flavorful. If it's your first time I definitely recommend the meat combination or the vegetarian combo so you can try a variety of it!
