| - The food here is pretty good, but everything else caused me to give it 2 stars... In January, I went with two other people. There was one other table in the restaurant when we got there, and it took 20min to get menus... Overall the dinner took about 2.5hrs (and all we ordered was three entrees). We were enjoying ourselves but I think we could've been out in half the time if the service were better/faster.
Few months later now, and I am throwing an African-themed party. I called Gojo (as of today it's been 10 times) to see if they would cater. The first few times - no answer and voicemail hasn't been set up. The next couple times - answer, but hung up on after a couple hello's. The next couple times - a woman answered, I would ask relevant questions and would something indescribable would occur:
for instance: me "I am interested in having a party for 400 catered by Gojo next Saturday"; woman "no parties next Saturday"; me "you cannot cater any parties next Saturday?"; woman "we have none"; me "okay, I am interested in Gojo making food for a party I'm having next Saturday, can I speak with someone about that"; woman "okay what would you like to order"; me "well I'd like to get prices on a couple things, first the awaze tibbs"; woman "okay one order of awaze tibbs will be ready in 30min"...
then I was hung up on. I'm sure a lot of this has to do with differences in cultural communication / exchanges, but was nonetheless rather irritating. Finally, got several of the questions answered (after three consecutive phone calls of being hung up on), but was told to call back the next morning to speak with the owner. I call the next morning, man answers, I say can I speak with Million (yes, that's the owner's name), and then get hung up on. I'm not sure if there is a bad phone connection there or what, but I will never try to work with this restaurant again. After over a week of attempts, I am more than done - which is too bad, as it is hard to find good African food in this area!!!
