Was Jonathon Edge at Gojo a mag?
The food at this restaurant was amazing. Some of the beef was a bit tough, indicating lower quality cuts of meat, but the incredible flavors made up for it. The service was a bit slow at first, but once the food arrived, it was well worth the wait. The prices were also great - we were able to feed six people with meat and vegetable combos, a side dish, all for under $50. The platter was huge, nearly 2 feet across. View all feedback.

I have had some of the best Ethiopian food here. I have tried most of the items on their menu and everything is amazing. I highly recommend trying the meat and vegetable samplers for those new to Ethiopian cuisine, or anyone looking for a taste of the restaurant's specialties. If ordering a la carte, don't forget to try the green beans - they are absolutely delicious.
My husband and I have been to many Ethiopian restaurants, including ones in Washington DC and Las Vegas, but this one is one of the best we have ever visited. We shared three menu items between the five of us, and it was more than enough - we even had leftovers to take home. We ordered the combination vegetarian, combination meat, and Doro Wat dishes, and each one was uniquely spiced and exceptionally tasty. My husband even commented that he didn't want to wash his hands after the meal because the spices smelled so good. We can't wait to go back!
Gojo is our favorite Ethiopian restaurant in Seattle. I grew up in Africa (my parents set up flying doctor services in several countries there including Ethiopia), and this is the real deal. The combination plates are a terrific introduction to Ethiopian cuisine, but make sure you try out some of the other specialties like Doro Wat (a chicken dish that takes a whole day to prepare), their many varieties of Tibs, and the green beans are to die for. The injera (the teff flour sourdough 'pancakes ' that substitute for utensils) is also milder than at some Ethiopian restaurants which makes it much more palatable if you haven 't grown up on the stronger flavored types of injera. Note: Ethiopian food is also highly kid friendly. The delicious flavors and eating with your hands makes it fun (just avoid the really spicy dishes).
We had ethiopian food for the first time. It was very delicious and a nice amount of food. Also has an authentic atmosphere. Was a very nice experience and we will be back.
