I went to the Axum Ethiopian Restaurant in order to try new food .

My Experience
My first time coming was a roller coaster. The food and service was AMAZING but one of the homeless people went into my truck and stole my phone and money. The owners were MORE THAN understanding. I later returned and the food and service was still Amazing. I admire the Goddess that runs it. It seemed she was hosting, severing, cooking, bartending, and cashing out!!!!!! You go Mama’s! Also the Decor is Beautiful. Artistry at its finest….

Lunch meeting midday at Axum Ethiopian Restaurant was an excellent choice. We had the chicken and vegan special which served two with enough it could have served 3-4 people for a light lunch and great conversation. The ambiance was quiet, plenty of seating, and clean facility. The service was good, not exceptional, but good. The food was deliciously seasoned. I highly recommend you give the Axum Ethiopian Restaurant a visit to enjoy the cuisine.

Axum is a great place to have a meal. I especially like their vegan combo for two. I have ordered that both the times I’ve visited. I must say that the combo quantity is less than what two people would need and ordering extra costs a lot and it comes in smaller quantity too. The food itself is great though, my comment is only about the quantity. I like the coffee and tea here too.

I had a hankering for some spicy deliciousness and this place delivered! We had both lamb dishes. #3 is significantly spicier than #9 but both were fabulous….and the lentils!!! The injera was so fresh and flavorful….Run to see for yourself.

First time eating this type of cuisine. Went with a group of friends. We watched a video ahead of time to learn how to eat the food which is WITH YOUR HANDS! Lots of vegan options. NOT gluten free tho!

I ordered takeout- a lamb dish and the deluxe vegan combo. The gentleman taking the order was very polite and made sure my order was ready when I needed it (i did not give them a huge lead time so I was relieved and grateful!). When I went to pick up, I found the interior very beautifully decorated and the gentleman equally as pleasant as kind in person.

Great food, the taste of the flatbread is a bit sour. Friendly service, bathroom and the restaurant was clean. Service was a bit slow, they were out of mango juice, coffee ceremony. They don’t have desert in their menu, only entrees and drinks. Ethiopian coffee was very strong which is expected. I wish the amount of the coffee was smaller or paired with a condensed milk. Overall great place for an ethnic food experience.

The vegetarian/vegan platter has 8 items unlike most Ethiopian restaurants that have 6-7 items. It’s more expensive though. The server took our order on phone for dine in and kept it ready when we reached. Walking out happy with the food and service!
