The food arrived quickly and everything was super delicious. The waitress was friendly, helpful, and attentive. The meal was affordable and I was thrilled to have leftovers. Definitely check them out.

I really enjoyed my experience at Go Jo. The staff was really nice and the food was excellent. We got the super vegetarian combo and it appeared that everything was made in house and very tasty. The coffee with accompanying incense was an interesting event. The decor is utilitarian but with an Ethiopian theme and the tables have glass tops with embroidered weavings. The biggest negative is that the restroom has a truck stop vibe and should be addressed. I’m shocked that the restaurant was empty when we came in for lunch on a Saturday as the quality of food was fantastic. It was a fun time and I’m looking forward to going again.

Had lunch there yesterday with a group of friends. Mesai, the host and owner was very accommodating. The food took a few minutes since there were a few of us but well worth the wait. She did not disappoint. We all liked what we ordered and the portions were large. Everyone wiped out their plates or should I say their enjeera. Highly recommend.

And I would come here AGAIN! I was bored and wanting to do something, or treating myself to a meal so I decided to go here. It was nerve wrecking because I was alone and also in a place I have never tried before, but the lady who helped me was so welcoming that I felt at home. The service is top tier, the lady was kind enough to suggest the dish and showed me how to eat the proper way which made me felt so included. I got the sample one because I wanted to try a bit of everything and it was amazing. Portion wise, BIG (for a person maybe). I usually eat just a little but and got full right away, but if it comes to good tasting food, gosh darn that day I almost ate the whole plate. I lovee this place so much and would come back to try other dishes on the menu. The mango juice was good too (and A LOT).

Go Jo is one of Grand Rapid’s true gems. An Ethiopian restaurant this good has no business operating in a city as small and Dutch as ours, but yet here it is. If you live in the area but haven’t been here, put it on your schedule.

Certainly underrated! Food is fantastic, and in formidable portions- make sure to come hungry! I’ve had a great time here, and they have a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. Service does take a while here, but it’s not an issue if you’re not in a rush. Get the Awaze Tibs!

Great food. Super friendly owner and his wife make everything there. Just the two of them usually so expect a wait if you dine in even on carry out but still worth it.

Great little restaurant. Doro Watt (Spicy chicken stew served with injera) as well as Misir Watt and Alicha (Red lentils with Ethiopian spice, cabbage, greens) were amazing. Conveniently located in east side of the city, reasonable prices and great tasting food. Would definitely go there again and recommend it to everyone!

Great Ethiopian food, friendly staff, and decent prices. The injera was the best I’ve had! The only downside was the speed of the service, since it seems like the kitchen is small and it’s a popular place. If you’re new to the experience and food, they’ll help explain. I’d recommend this restaurant.
