Axum has become my absolute favorite Ethiopian restaurant in Chicago! The food is delicious (which is an understatement) and the chef/owner is delightfully kind. Their food is always fresh and their recipes are authentic. Axum features vegan and vegetarian options, as well as a full menu of yummy meat dishes. Axum also has a full bar and a selection of wine, so it’s the perfect choice for every occasion!
The best Ethiopian food I've had. Ras Dashen used to be here but closed down. I thought Ras Dashen was great but this is as good or even better than Ras Dashen. The portions are huge and everything tasted awesome and fresh. The owner is very friendly as well. I HIGHLY recommend this place.
I stopped in for lunch and went with the meat and veggie combo, which was a great way to try a little of everything. The injera was soft with just the right tang, and the lentils and beef were especially good. Portions were generous, and the staff was really welcoming and helpful with the menu.

Axum Ethiopian Restaurant offers a delightful dining experience with fresh and tasty dishes prepared with care. The meat and vegetable platter is a standout, visually stunning and packed with flavors. The Sambusa sampler appetizer arrives freshly made and not oily.
The restaurant features a variety of options like Brisket Goreg Goreg, Lamb Wot, and chicken tibbs. The injera is spongy and delightfully tangy, perfect for soaking up flavorful stews. Axum offers delivery, pickup, and catering services, making it a great option for any occasion.
Customers have highlighted the great service, cozy and homey feel, and friendly staff. Recent reviews praise the soft injera, generous portions, and welcoming staff who are helpful with the menu.
