Best Shiro Wat in Winnipeg

(97 reviews)

Shiro Wat is one of the most beloved vegetarian dishes in all of Ethiopia, and it is one of the most-requested plates at Gojo Ethiopian Restaurant in Winnipeg. We simmer finely milled chickpea (and sometimes broad-bean) flour with onion, garlic, fresh tomato, and berbere until it transforms into a rich, creamy, deeply savoury stew. Naturally vegan and gluten-free, it is served over our soft injera and is praised in TripAdvisor reviews for its authentic flavour.

About Our Shiro Wat

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

Our Shiro Wat is special because we make it in small batches throughout the day so it always tastes fresh, never reheated. Its smooth, creamy texture comes from patience — we stir slowly to develop a velvety finish.

"Our Shiro Wat at Gojo was unforgettable. Solomon walked us through how to eat it with injera and the flavours were unbelievable. We will be back."
