I was happy to see that the menu had some pictures and that there were descriptions of each food item, also our server was a great help in assisting us with what to order. However, it did take a long time for our food to come out. I got the Yesega Sambuusa (pastry stuff with beef) which I really liked and the Tibs Lamb. Each dish we ordered also came with two sides, I got the Tikel Gomen (cabbage and carrots) and Yemisir Keyi Wett (red lentil). Everything was so good, I only wish the portions were larger and it was a bit pricey. This is my second time experiencing Ethiopian cuisine, my first time was in Kansas and it was ok but I am glad I came here and tried again.

I am so happy that we chose Axum. The woman and man working (I assume were the owners) were very pleasant and attentive. My daughter had the homemade spiced hot tea, and I had the Axum Mess (the homemade honey wine. They were both very good. We then shared the Axum Special Lamb Combo, and I must say, it was so very delicious. We were a little unsure at first of not having silverware, but we dug in and created the perfect bite every time. I have never had beets that I liked until now, and my daughter has never liked beans of any sort, but loved the lentils. As our first experience with Ethiopian food, we were not disappointed in any way. The restaurant is very artful too! We loved the art on each table! I only wished we lived closer so we could be regulars. We were the only people in there at peak supper time, and that was shocking. People should be flocking there to keep them busy.

I had the most amazing time celebrating my friend at this restaurant. My friend that mentioned that…read moreshe does not like Ethiopian food has only good things to say. This is great establishment where the staff is always so friendly and attentive. The place is clean and there is even a hand washing station. I love how the Ethiopian culture is highlighted from the videos broadcasted on the tv, art and decor throughout the restaurant. The food was amazing. We got mild spice and it did not disappoint. We got the 4 person meal for 3 of us and there was plenty of left overs. There was a. Assortment of meats and vegetarian options and they were all delicious. My only issue was the injera and some of the sides were cold or close to Lukewarm. I love hot food or at least warm. Also, there is paid street side parking outside.

5 stars for fufu, 4 for egusi, rounding up because they're a new and friendly local business…read more I asked for fufu not having looked super carefully at the menu, and I'm not entirely sure which swallow I ended up with. That said, it was delicious, one of the best West African dough balls I've ever had. Nice subtle flavor and a really incredible silky, tender texture. The egusi had a very rich, deep flavor and a little kick of spiciness, though I found the texture slightly grainy. But I think I might have been mixing up egusi and ogbono in my memory, so I'll have to try ogbono and/or okra next time. As far as I know, this is the only Nigerian restaurant outside 465, and it's pretty convenient to the airport. I may well return on a future airport run!

She is super friendly and helpful. Your spice level and reasonable modifications are accommodated. I got the awet combo, which typically has beef, lamb, chicken wing + egg and swapped the lamb for chicken breast. I like my food spicy and my combo did not disappoint. My friend is a fan of the veggie combo. The portions and food quality are a great value for the price. Take what you can't (shouldn't?) finish-the leftovers are dreamy, and finish with a pot of the tea to balance out your meal.

I would also review the menu and call ahead to see what they have in stock as they prep ingredients weekly and ran out of some things we were interested in (meat pie, drinks, beef) The restaurant is pretty spacious inside with lots of tables and seating. The servers were friendly and helpful in getting our orders in. We enjoyed the spicy goat appetizer, jollof, fufu, turkey morsel, collar greens and egusi. Overall a great experience.

Hey. Stop right here. I want everyone to read this review. This is a Nigerian restaurant and I…read moredon't think they follow our traditional American restaurant culture. So I can see how people can rate them poorly for their service. With that being said, if you're in a hurry-come back another time. When you do visit, sit back and enjoy. The decor is nice. They've done a great job in making this space intimate and upscale. Now. The main thing-the food!! One word: D E L I C I OUS!!!!!!!! Everything we tried was amazing! We sampled the Egusi soup and had to take one to-go. My husband had the fried rice with oxtails and a couple other things (I can't recall). What I do recall is it's delicious! Get it-thank me later. I had the lamb chops with jollof rice and veggies. Some of the best chops I've ever had. I personally am not a fan of jollof rice. But I'm on a quest to find some I do like. But doesn't take away from the meal. Service: they bring the food when it's done. Not all together. But like I said, they don't follow our traditional American culture, but trust me when that food comes to your table you're gonna be happy. I see that they have live music, but I didn't get the schedule so definitely something to check out. This is definitely a place. I can see myself in hubby visiting on a regular basis. There's so many things on the menu that I wanna try. It's gonna take me a few visits to get it done. But don't take my word for it, go check it out and thank me later

You would never know going inside this was an old Arby's...they really decorated it to be sexy, intimate and comfortable with a bit of elevation Good: amazing cocktails...strong with great flavor and I felt it was a good pour Decent: Calamari appetizer I could reorder..I love the red seasoning they powdered on top..it elevated what what have been regular frozen fried calamari Ok: Main meal Peanut stew with beef . The cuts of beef was huge and not flavorful. The peanut stew needed more dimension...I felt the flavor fell flat...good but not amazing. Definitely not spicy at all..maybe a little more salt and some spice I ordered spinach stew/soup with chicken and fish...more tomato based soup. Definitely needed some spicyness it fell flat without some pepper to the stew The fufu was ok...softer and not as elastically as I like fufu Needs Improvement: service staff!!! They had one waitress that knew what she was doing, a white I think maybe manager that was not managing or training the others and 2-3 other waitresses that acted more like food runners then waitress.. We arrived and was seated quickly..got water ordered in decent time...got one drink then took 15 minutes to get the second drink..then the table in front of us received their appetizer before we got ours but they came in 10 min after we did. Then service went down hill...peanut stew came out...okkk We waited 45 minutes..my food never arrived..asked the waitress..I think she forgot to put my order in... Never received the jollof rice we had ordered She came with the kettle and water bowl for us to wash our hands AFTER we ate...sigh

Lunch and dinner are served and food takes a good 30-40 mins as everything is made from scratch. I tried the veggie combo and I was amazed by the taste and the amount of food. It was a lot for one of us. My friends ordered lamb and chicken and enjoyed the taste almost saying it was just like home. This in itself is a compliment! Must try!
