I keep coming back! It’s such delicious and hearty food and I love that they keep the prices the same. Best ethiopian restaurant in town! My absolute favourite dish is the Misir Wot, it’s a bomb of flavour and so worth it for the price that I order one in and one to go!

Wow, just yummy! It is delicious, and the portion size is so generous. I ordered 1 Key Wet and 1 combo to go. First off, I love engera like my life! When I was eating the Key, I was literally blessing the hands who made it. Customer service was amazing. Keep up the great work! And thank you for the generous gesture of the complimentary bottle of water.:)

Really liked this place, friendly, clean and very tasty. I will come back for sure. I only had Ethiopian food in Milan and that was my favourite place to go, once in Vancouver I never found it again and was soooo happy I did finally find one this good.

I see a 4.6 rating so good for them I guess. That was certainly not my experience. Did they bribe the reviewers or what? Quite possibly the most disgusting takeout I have ever had from any restaurant in Vancouver. It went straight in the compost bin but with some hesitation as I questioned whether it was even acceptable as compost.Truly awful and mostly composed of this weird grey spongelike bread that tasted like a communal shower mat from some eastside overnight shelter.

Really delicious affordable food, highly recommend trying the Gore's Gored. Beer is also $5 a bottle!
Axum remains the best Ethiopian food in BC. The owner is lovely, and always pleasant to everyone. The food is amazing, perfectly sliced, and the injera is the very best in the city. Don't go anywhere else, because it is an inferior experience.Vegetarian options: The best Ethiopian food in Vancouver.

Axum Restaurant, nestled in the heart of the city, offers a delightful experience for those seeking to explore Ethiopian cuisine. Upon entering, the ambiance strikes a balance between traditional and modern, with Ethiopian art adorning the walls and a cozy seating arrangement. The staff are exceptionally welcoming, providing insights into the menu and traditional eating etiquette. The menu is a vibrant array of Ethiopian classics, with a focus on both meat and vegetarian options. A standout dish is the Doro Wat – a spicy chicken stew that tantalizes the taste buds with its rich blend of berbere spice and tender meat, served alongside perfectly spongy injera bread. The vegetarian platter is equally impressive, offering a variety of lentils and vegetables, each with its unique flavor profile.

Family owned restaurant that I've been coming to for years and without any doubt has the best portions and most flavourful food of any Ethiopian restaurant in Vancouver. I love this place.
