Axum Ethiopian Restaurant offers a delightful introduction to Ethiopian cuisine! The meat and vegetable platter was not just filling but bursting with taste, beautifully presented too. Our server was incredibly accommodating, especially since it was our first time indulging in this flavorful fare. Yared, the owner, personally checked in, adding a nice touch to our experience.
Though the ambiance could use some warmth, the swift service helped elevate the mood. We'll definitely return for more culinary adventures! 🌟

If you're in Chicago, Axum Ethiopian Restaurant is a must-visit! 🌟 The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it perfect for a leisurely dinner. I tried the Sambusa sampler followed by the delectable Brisket Goreg Goreg and the veggie platter - it was HUGE and packed with flavor!
The owner is incredibly friendly, often checking in on guests, which adds a personal touch. Don't miss out on the VERYSPICY mushrooms if you like heat! 🥵 Fast service and a relaxing vibe make this place ideal for solo dining or gatherings. Can't wait to go back!

Axum Ethiopian Restaurant is a hidden gem in Chicago! 🌟 I visited recently and was blown away by the incredible flavors. We started with the Sambusa sampler - crispy and filled with savory goodness. For the main course, the combo platter of Brisket Goreg Goreg and Lamb Wot was fantastic, with a perfect balance of spices.
The casual and cozy atmosphere made it an ideal spot for a relaxing evening. The owner personally checks in with diners, adding a personal touch that we loved! If you haven’t tried Ethiopian food yet, this is the place to start. Highly recommend! 😋👏
