Literally the best dine in experience I’ve ever had!! We came in and the owner came out to greet us personally. Adah didn’t recognize us and immediately made sure we felt like old family catching up. Every dine in guest gets a complimentary blossom water, a deliciously refreshing glass of water infused with so many different fruits and spices (not spicy ). Since this was our first time, we got multiple different items to try (and take home) We started off ordering the savory beef and veggie pies. Both were so flavorful and flaky; the boom boom sauce that comes with them made the already perfect pies somehow better. They’re the perfect sized appetizer or breakfast! I ordered the chicken coconut curry (gluten free!) and I couldn’t recommend anything more. Every bite was so good. Whether I got everything in one bite or eating eat individual component, it was perfectly seasoned, and refreshingly delicious. The flavors meld together like they were meant to be intertwined. I didn’t even think to pull out my phone to take pictures until I was almost full! But, I did know as soon as I took my first bite, I’m telling all my friends and family they need to go to Goodoo Bowl. If you’re looking to have one of the best home-cooked, nutritious, and fulfilling meals you gotta stop by!

My partner and I have been here a few times and every time it is a joy to experience this food. Everything is made with love and you can feel it from the first bite. The hand pies and sassy pies are delicious and perfectly flaky, the coconut chicken curry is an explosion of flavor in your mouth, and the fruity shake is a beautiful end to a delightful meal.

What an absolute gem of a place. The food here was incredibly delicious rich flavors, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with so much care and love. Every bite felt comforting and special.
What truly made the experience unforgettable, though, was the woman running the restaurant. She was so kind, respectful, and welcoming, and knowing she’s doing all of this on her own makes it even more impressive. You can feel her heart in both the food and the atmosphere.

Sometimes you come across places that fill your heart with immense hope and gratitude. Goodoo Bowl is a special and rare place that does just so. Adah is genuine and has the best healing energy which shines in her menu and food. I felt extremely well taken care of as a first timer and cannot wait to come back.
The butter chicken was the special of the day and was absolutely divine. It was the warm hug I needed on this chilly day.

A true hidden gem in Johnson City. GooDoo Bowl is more than a meal—it’s an experience for the body, mind, and soul. The thoughtfully crafted dishes draw inspiration from the owner’s Seychellois and Indian heritage, and the calm, peaceful atmosphere encourages you to slow down and really enjoy your food. On Fridays, the owner also hosts special mindfulness gatherings and drumming sessions that make this place even more special.

Goo Doo Bowl is not just a restaurant, it is a restaurant for the senses! Once a food truck at our local festivals now in a brick and mortar location. As you walk into this Asian-Indian and East African fusion eatery you become enveloped in tranquil playing music, reminiscent of a high end spa. The calm lighting then exposes vivid colored hand painted walls with peaceful and regenerative symbolism with a smattering of cheeky humor tucked in here and there on the wall decor. It invites you to reflect, relax and just be in the moment. It’s great for traveling digital nomads, remote workers, study groups, or someone desperately in need of a “little treat” or some “me time”, but really it’s a place to be experienced by being shared with friends and family. Portions are so large it makes it easy to share around the table family style. The food is bright and bold with the ability to customize the level of spice on both an American and International scale of hotness. Food is mainly made to order (except for the simply delicious hand pies which are easy to grab and go-may I recommend the sausage), but your patience is rewarded with a healthy and fresh meal that nourishes your mind, body and soul. Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free eaters will all find something to enjoy on the menu. Kid’s meals are bespoke to your little ones’ taste buds which makes it an instant family favorite.
There is a back patio open in warmer months with lots of live plants and water features, a great hang-out for dog owners/lovers. There are also periodic specials like Butter Chicken and Bananas Foster jumbo cookies which feels like hitting the jackpot when you get the chance to try one. Hidden gem, woman owned small business. Could you possibly need another good reason to try it out?

This place is a one in a million. The food here is absolutely amazing. The atmosphere is so calming; it made me feel so happy & at ease. You will never experience hospitality in any other restaurant like you do here. It was my first time coming here on my birthday and I had the best experience ever. Adah and Shyronda are the sweetest. The mango chicken rice bowl & lemon basil oasis drink were delicious!!! Overall an absolutely wonderful experience!! I will be returning and recommend everyone to try this place!

This place is incredible! Plenty of options as a vegan, as well as omnivore and gluten free options. Staff is personal and friendly, food is unique and flavorful, and the atmosphere is like stepping into an island spa. This place has the ability to cure the worst of the winter blues.
