I happen to love Ethiopian food and was happy to discover Gojo. I thought the lunch buffet was great and the price of $7.95 reasonable, and the owners warm and professional. I've often eaten there when there were only one or two other people there. It's a bit off the beaten track physically and cuisine wise so I'm not surprised. It's not a reflection of the quality of the food which is excellent.

Went there at noonish - no one else in the place for the lunch buffet, now I know why. VERY overpriced at $7.95 for the meager selection. The man said he'd "guarantee" we'd (three of us) like the food (we explained we'd never had ethopian food before). One of us made a small plate, took two bites, and said he could not eat it. The man looked at us and said "oh well." Being a vegetarian, there was actually a better selection for me, but not enough for the price and no dessert or anything, plus beverages are extra. A meat-eater in our party said there was hardly any chicken in the lone chicken dish on the buffet. Won't be going there again!!!

I was regular at one time. The food actually made me feel energized which made me hooked on going there. I'm now in Iraq and will be home soon. I can't wait to try one of the combos.

Excellent food! Food quality was great and the taste was wonderful. The place is very plain, but clean. I brought my 3 teenage kids and they LOVED it. You must know how to eat with the bread or ask questions when you are there. I will definately be g ...

The food here is good--and reasonably priced. He seems to have cleared up all confusion by adding the per-person clarification to combo dishes and tea service. However the injera (the bread you pick up your food with) is COLD. Cold injera is... ...
