Inside Gojo deli and bar
Gojo deli and bar is a full-service Ethiopian restaurant nestled in the heart of Saskatoon’s 2nd Avenue corridor. Its location makes it an inviting stop for anyone looking to explore flavors beyond the usual local dining options, offering a taste of Ethiopia’s richly spiced and communal food culture.
The atmosphere here balances casual comfort with subtle touches that feel both authentic and approachable. The space suits group gatherings well, especially for those curious about trying a variety of dishes without the need to order separately—sharing platters are a common choice. This style of dining resonates with both longtime fans of Ethiopian cuisine and newcomers alike, making it easy to dive into the multi-textured experience of injera paired with vividly spiced stews and sautéed meats.
Menu highlights include hearty options like the Mahiberhawi Combo, combining vegetarian and meat selections served atop injera, and the iconic Doro Wot—a spicy chicken stew accompanied by a hard-boiled egg—which showcase the layering of flavors typical to this cuisine. Portions are generous, fitting well for sharing among friends or family. Vegetarians will find solid choices as well, with dishes like Shiro Tegabino providing warming, plant-based comfort.
Visitors tend to appreciate the friendly, relaxed service that complements the food’s richness without overshadowing it. Flavor profiles here are often described as bold yet well balanced, with spice levels that develop gradually, inviting diners to explore deeper with each bite.
The best time to visit is likely during dinner hours, when the communal aspect of Ethiopian dining—breaking and sharing injera, dipping into richly sauced dishes—is most evident. It’s a spot that works well for casual dinners, as well as for special occasions where a shared dining experience is the centerpiece.
For locals and travelers alike, Gojo deli and bar offers a tangible connection to Ethiopian culinary tradition amid Saskatoon’s diverse food scene.
