Ajay,

Although I've never been there, I found the following info:

Gojo
Rating: 2.8/5.0
408-295-9546
Ethiopian
1261 W. San Carlos Street
San Jose ,CA

OTOH, I have eaten here before (several times) and enjoyed it:

Massawa
Rating: 3.4/5.0
415-621-4129
Ethiopian
1538 Haight Street
San Francisco ,CA

If you're ever in SF and in an "Ethiopian mood" you should check it out.

I really like The Red Sea in San Jose.  It is is a small converted house, with nice atmosphere and excellent food.  Reasonably priced.  You have to look up the address, though, sorry.

The oldest one is Red Sea on North First in San Jose.  It's good, but as with most Ethiopian restaurants, the service is languid.

Shebele in downtown Campbell has slightly better food and it's a more accessible location, but the decor isn't as nice.

I haven't found anything wonderful.  Red Sea, Shebele, Gojo.  Of these I like Shebele the best because I think they do the injera better than the others.

But I wish I could get Doro Wot as good as I used to get in L.A.
