"Gojo has some of the best Ethiopian food I 've ever tasted. It 's seriously legit. I always order the Yemisser Sambussa (lentil samosas , which are five small vegan pastries, as an appetizer. For my main meal, I always get the Vegetarian Combo, which is also vegan and includes red spicy lentils, mild yellow lentils, seasoned chickpeas, green beans carrots, and cabbage potatoes, with extra injera (spongy flat bread on the side, of course. Everything I 've ever eaten there has been phenomenal. If you and another person both order the Veg Combo (two orders total , they will bring it out on a single enormous platter and give you an extra green lentil salad in the middle. Gojo is the real deal: you scoop the food up with the injera, and you don 't even get silverware or your own plate. They 'll give them to you if you ask, of course. Of note: they don 't have a drink menu, but you are welcome to bring your own wine or beer with you. The restaurant is family-owned, and the staff is really helpful, kind, and accommodating to vegans. The first time I ate at Gojo, they immediately knew what we meant by vegan and informed us that the everything on the vegetarian menu was vegan except for the fava bean salad, which could easily be made vegan (with oil instead of butter . They will also accommodate any gluten-free requests and give you rice instead of injera if you prefer. Gojo definitely looks like an unassuming hole in the wall from the street, which in my experience is usually a pretty good indicator that the food will be excellent. This is a true gem of a restaurant! Fantastic food, a dedicated vegetarian menu, and very accommodating to vegans."
