Shared Injera and a Coffee Ceremony at Gojo Café
The only dinner where eating with your hands from the same plate is not just allowed, it's the whole point.

Gojo Café does something dating apps have never managed: it makes sustained eye contact mandatory. The food arrives as one enormous round of injera, covered in spicy wats, lentils, and greens, and you both dig in with your hands from the same plate. No cutlery, no separate dishes, just a shared canvas that makes doom-scrolling physically impossible. This family-run Ethiopian spot on Commercial Drive has a near-perfect 4.8 for good reason, and if you call ahead, they'll run the traditional coffee ceremony: green beans roasted at your table, the whole room going fragrant, three slow rounds poured while you two quietly run out of things to pretend to be distracted by. Order the veggie combo for the full spice tour, let the gursha (feeding each other a bite) happen when it happens, and accept that this evening ends delightfully messy.
