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! 😋👏
