Best Kitfo in Winnipeg

Kitfo is an Ethiopian delicacy and one of Gojo's most authentic dishes. We start with lean, freshly minced beef and dress it with blazing mitmita spice (a hot blend of bird's-eye chili, cardamom, cloves, and salt) and warm niter kibbeh. It is served traditionally with a side of our house-made ayibe, a tangy, drier Ethiopian cottage cheese that beautifully cools the heat. Choose your preparation: raw (leb-leb) like a tartare, lightly cooked, or fully cooked — owner Solomon will guide you on the most authentic way to enjoy it.

About Our Kitfo

At Gojo Ethiopian Restaurant, we take pride in serving the most authentic Kitfo 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 Kitfo Stands Out

Our Kitfo is what sets a serious Ethiopian restaurant apart. We grind the beef in-house, make our own ayibe, and blend our mitmita to Solomon's family recipe. Few places in Winnipeg serve kitfo this way.

Perfect Pairings

Soft injera flatbread (essential)
House-made ayibe (cottage cheese) to balance heat
Side of gomen (collard greens)
Ethiopian beer or tej (honey wine)
