Gojo Ethiopian Eatery

Gojo Ethiopian Eatery is the best place in Auckland to get Ethiopian food (well, all right, besides a couple of food trucks and pop-ups, it’s the only place to get it — but that doesn’t lessen its best-ness). Opened this year by Fetehalow Zomo and Fantaye Aga, Gojo aims to give the Ethiopian community a feeling of being back home and the rest of us a sense of traditional Ethiopian cuisine with the ingredients we have here in New Zealand. The accompaniment to the spiced stews is injera, a sour fermented fl atbread that comes to the table either individually rolled up or at the bottom of a large, metal platter which encourages sharing. All the food here is made to share, really, with the ideal meal arising fl uidly when the various lentil stews and vegetable salads are in front of you. Make sure to try the kitfo, a beef tartare with spices and clarified butter.
