Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our authentic Ethiopian menu, vegan options, and traditional dining experience at Gohe Ethiopian Restaurant in Winnipeg.

Understanding Ethiopian Food

What is Ethiopian food and what is injera?

Ethiopian food features richly spiced stews called "wots" served on injera, a sourdough flatbread made from teff flour. Injera is unique — it's spongy, slightly tangy, and serves as both your plate and utensil. You tear off pieces of injera to scoop up the flavorful stews and vegetables. It's a traditional eating style that encourages sharing and community.

How do I eat Ethiopian food?

Ethiopian food is traditionally eaten with your hands! Use pieces of injera to scoop up the wots and vegetables from the shared platter. Our friendly staff is happy to guide newcomers through the experience. It's a fun, communal way of dining that brings people together.
