Indulge in the iconic taste of Ethiopia with our Doro Wat at Gojo Ethiopian Restaurant in Winnipeg's West End. Considered Ethiopia's national dish, our doro wat features tender chicken slow-simmered for hours in a deeply spiced berbere sauce with onions, garlic, ginger, and traditional spice blends, then crowned with a hard-boiled egg. Served atop our soft, spongy injera flatbread — naturally gluten-free and made from teff flour — every bite is bold, aromatic, and unforgettable. Whether you are discovering Ethiopian cuisine for the first time or you are already a devoted fan, our doro wat is a Winnipeg must-try.

Doro Wat at Gojo Ethiopian Restaurant in Winnipeg — Ethiopia's national dish — a deeply spiced, richly flavoured chicken stew slow-simmered with berbere and crowned with a hard-boiled egg, served on injera.

About Our Doro Wat

At Gojo Ethiopian Restaurant, we take pride in serving the most authentic Doro Wat in Winnipeg. Our kitchen has been preparing traditional Ethiopian recipes since 1997, using time-honoured methods and the family spice blends of owner Solomon Meshesha.

Each dish is prepared with care and attention to detail, ensuring that every bite delivers the true taste of Ethiopia. Our commitment to authenticity has earned us a loyal following across Winnipeg's West End and made Gojo a cornerstone of the local food scene.

Why Our Doro Wat Stands Out

What sets our Doro Wat apart is the depth of our berbere blend, the slow simmer that develops a velvety, complex sauce, and the hard-boiled egg that absorbs every drop of flavour. We use the family spice blend that owner Solomon Meshesha has refined since 1997.

Perfect Pairings

Soft, spongy injera flatbread (gluten-free teff)
