Hello! My name is Gabriel Kassie, and I am the creator of Project Gojo. To learn more about me, here is a link to my personal website.
This website will expose you to a cultural critique of Gojo Ethiopian Restaurant with multiple sub-topics to explore. Along the way you will be exposed to Ethiopia.
Gojo Ethiopian Restaurant is a vibrant and traditional Ethiopian restaurant family owned by a couple that immigrated from Ethiopia. Gojo means house in Amharic, Ethiopia’s main language, and usually consists of mud and straw houses. A gojo symbolizes families and people coming together and enjoying time together.
This restaurant is located in Phoenix, AZ, and uses spices imported from Ethiopia. Ethiopian cuisine consists of “vegetable and spicy meat dishes served on top of injera, a large flat bread made out of fermented teff flour” (Gojo). This cuisine is typically eaten with your right hand and replaces utensils with your right hand that picks up injera and scoops the entrees and places them into your mouth.
