In California, a combo meat dish at any Ethiopian restaurant can run you $18-$22 easily. For the same amount of food and quality, Gojo's combo meat dish is only $14 and can still feed two VERY hungry people.
A sambussa order is 3 pieces. I ordered the veggie/meat combo plus a meat sambussa appetizer. Without tip, it was about $18 for the food alone.
It goes without saying that this is a GREAT deal! I came in on a Monday evening around 7 pm and it wasn't full. The service was fantastic and it felt very authentic and relaxed. This isn't exactly fine dining - the atmosphere is very relaxed and comfortable. I definitely felt like I could have been eating in someone's home - and I mean this in the very best way!
The sambussas were great - not super oily, with the perfect amount of crunch. I was LOVING the meats offered in the meat combo. I wish I had asked for it extra spicy, but regardless it was delicious.
There's a full length mirror in the ladies bathroom, which I thought was cool LOL.
For you alcoholics: there's a FULL BAR! Not sure if it suddenly turns into a night club on the weekend or something, LOL, but that was pretty cool. It looks like they can host events too because there's a seating lounge area plus some open space. I thought that was interesting.
A+ Ethiopian food that isn't crazy expensive like Berkeley or San Jose restaurants back home. Will definitely return!
