Gojo — Restaurant in Stockholm

Came here with a friend and it was our first time having Ethiopian food. I took beyeaynetu which was recommended by the waiter and my friend took a spicy lamb stew (don't remember the name of the dish). We also had tej (honey wine) for the first time. As a first timer, I would definitely recommend beyeaynetu because you get to try different things (chicken, beef & veg stew) in one tray. The lamb stew was too spicy for us though, so we didn't manage to finish it. Also note that both of us could not really take spicy food, so if you're just like us, it's better to go for milder options. According to the waiter, beyeaynetu is considered as a 50/50 spice level, and they don't have a non spicy option here. So please be prepared for that. I rated a 3 star for the food because we personally did not like the spicy lamb. Just the beyeaynetu alone would be a 4 star. As for the service level, a 3 stars. The staff were nice, but it took too long before we managed to wave down the staff to order our food, also it took almost an hour for the food to arrive. My friend was starving. We were placed in the other room where it is quite bright compared to their main room ( a lot dimmer) where the main entrance is. So I gave a 3 star for the atmosphere due to the bright lighted room we were seated in. If you're looking to visit Gojo and prefer a cozier, dimmer setting, I'd recommend to book your seats specifying seating in the main room...

The two stars are for the friendly & service minded staff and the ambiance.

I tried Ethiopian cuisine 20 years ago and was disappointed. So i decided to give it a shot in 2022 but was sadly equally disappointed. As hard as I tried giving it a chance, it simply doesn't work. And this is a top notch restaurant in Stockholm.

Also, it was quite expensive for the amount of food. I really did try to eat the beef stew, but the meat was clearly not well cooked and was chewy. My mother ordered rice instead of the Teff pancake bread. But it didn't taste any good. I also expected more juicyness, more sauce and more spices but was unimpressed by the blandness of the stew. I guess some of us don't like Ethiopian cuisine. It is overrated...

Gojo is an excellent Ethiopian restaurant that truly stands out—not just for its delicious food, but for its remarkably professional service, which is not always typical of Ethiopian or Eritrean restaurants.

The staff are polite, attentive, and genuinely helpful, creating a welcoming and refined atmosphere from the moment you walk in. Their professionalism elevates the whole dining experience.

If you’re looking for flavorful, authentic Ethiopian cuisine in a quiet, comfortable setting to enjoy with friends or family, Gojo is the perfect choice. It’s a place where great food meets excellent service—and both keep you coming back.

The only drawback is that don’t serve any alcoholic beverage as they don’t have...
