Tender meat items, lovely convo with staff & bday celebration - American and Traditional seating and coffee service.

this place is AMAZING!!! don't let these snowflakes who are scared regarding the location tell you different. the customer service is probably the best customer service i've experienced! they are super friendly and educational on the food and spices. the food was extremely good and there was plenty! we got the meat combo and veggie combo. the area is a safe area and i WILL be going back. A+

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!

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.

Soooo glad we came here for dinner. Lots of street parking, l dont think they have a private lot. It wasn't too busy when we came on a wednesday night. 1 or 2 other groups were there while we were there. Saw a few takeout orders! Service waa friendly. Food waa soooo amazing! We ordered a meat combo and lamb plate to share! Pkus and order of sambusas. And we still had lots of leftovers so definitely enough food. Generous portions. Spice and flavor was great. The lamb was probably my favorite but everything was really good. The sambusas were hot crispy and flaky! They saw we were low on injera and brought us more! Probably some of the best ethiopian food I've had. Will for sure be back here again!

The food was amazing!!! I’ve been searching for an authentic Ethiopian restaurant for a while and so glad I found this spot. Tastes like home, I highly recommend!!!

I looked up restaurants near CTA and, after seeing pictures of the food, absolutely had to swing by before heading home... Arguably one of the best decisions I've ever made in my entire life. And I've made tons, I mean TONS of decisions. I ordered the Kai Wot, which is a red pepper spicy beef stew with butter and ginger. The beef was tender, the stew was thick and had a nice chunky consistency to it (like me). Bonus points for the gluten free bread wrap things, also known as Injera. There's no real comparison, as I've never quite had something that tasted like this, all I can say is that if you want some spice in your life, you HAVE to stop by Gojo!

Delicious! We got the meat combo and veggie combo. It was more than the two of us could finish but it was the best Ethiopian food I’ve had! I can’t wait to come back. Great staff and service. Even the tea was delicious. Five stars!

Manu Kumar

Very nice Ethiopian restaurant with good vegetarian options. One of the lentil dishes is pretty spicy so careful if you can't handle spice! The inside is clean and well-maintained with nice Ethiopian decorations. Parking is nearby (it looks like the front of a house, but it's okay to park there). The area is not the greatest so prefer to eat during the daytime and remember to take valuables with you!

Came here for the first time after googling for an Ethiopian restaurant- was a very good choice. I ordered veggie and meat combo with my husband and my favorite was the yellow beans and chicken- seasoning was just right. The vibe seems authentic, they have a room with traditional clothes and plates with a mini tent in the ceiling. Perfect for chill Friday dinner

One of my favorite restaurants in the Bay area. Great food and enviroment. I always get my order family style for my partner and I to share. I recommend taking the recommendations from the owners on what to order. The Alicha Wot was absoluetly amazing. Every time we go here the food is superb and very flavorful. 10/10

First time here after trying several other places. We got the meat combo and special kitfo and did not regret it. Food was amazing! I honestly couldn’t decide which of the dishes I liked best. The portions are also good sized as we couldn’t finish it all in one sitting (I usually pride myself on always licking the plate clean and I had to admit defeat). The staff/owners are wonderful, friendly, invested in your experience. Definitely will be coming back.

Wow, this place is very special. The food is incredible (the best Ethiopian in SJ for sure), and the family that runs it is so sweet. I’ll be back - and with way more people! I’ll dream about the veggie combo until I return ❤️

Delicious vegan options and cozy environment, thank you! We came when it was closed and the owner Mamush opened it just for us. He and his team made us feel very welcomed. Thank you!

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!

It was really slow and quiet when we came in for dinner. Tables were not cleaned when we sat down. Food was good and the flavors were there.

The lentil was tasty. The potatoes and cabbage were a little overcooked but still pretty enjoyable. The chicken was very chewy and not at all “tender” as the menu says. The gravy of the chicken was a bit sour (and spicy in a kind of loaded way, if that makes sense); not sure if it’s meant to be that way. Nice and unassuming ambience though. Parking seemed like a street-only situation. Overall, a good place but a little pricey for what and where it is.

We went in an hour before the closing time and ordered the vegetarian platter, the food was cold and felt a little stale. Also, the neighborhood is a somewhat shady area. The restrooms stink. Would avoid and try Zeni or some other place around.
