The food here was absolutely great and the employees are wonderful. It's a little hidden, follow the little hidden road. Authentic. Excellent friendly service, in fact, the best service of any Ethiopian restaurant we have been to. Go support this family-run gem!

Delicious food and great service. The food is aromatic and flavorful. I had never experienced fresh roasted coffee. It was roasted and the smoke was a bit overwhelming and made my clothes smell when I left but overall it was a very enjoyable experience.

We were craving some dinner from the horn of Africa, either Somali or Ethiopian, so we asked a local Ethiopian we happened to meet where the best place in town is. He didn't hesitate to recommend Goha, although there are apparently a lot restaurants here with East African cuisine, and we're glad he did.
The dish we were recommended was tibs. We got the lamb yebeg awaze tibs, which comes with traditional Ethiopian bread. When asked about the spice level, we requested something not hot but still spicy, and it was perfect. We really enjoyed our first Ethiopian meal.
Unfortunately, they don't sell any rice, which would have really hit the spot. Their bread has the consistency of pancakes, and I can't say we really enjoyed it, especially with saucy, spicy lamb cubes. You are supposed to pour the dish on the bread-covered circular pan then eat from it as a group with your hands and the extra bed provided, which is a nice experience. We were restricted with what we could order since they were out of chicken and many other items including at least half the sides. In addition, the service was quite slow for a less than half full restaurant, and we had to remind servers more than once of forgotten items we had ordered.
Ethiopian tea tasted great. It was a light ginger tea, which had a nice burn but should be drunk alone and not with the spicy dish with which it was served. What can I say about the coffee? We were thinking Ethiopia, being the birthplace of coffee, would have an interesting experience, and we weren't disappointed. The beans were roasted fresh, the sweet smell loved around the globe wafting through the small house-turned-restaurant. The Ethiopians present became excited, even passing around the tray to get a whiff of the magical bean. It was then freshly ground and brewed for an exceptionally exquisite and delicious experience.
We would definitely recommend going here for a meal. The interior design makes you feel like you're in another country, which is further felt by the foreign words uttered on patrons' tongues. However, the owner's friendly demeanor and atmosphere made us feel at home.
