Deki adina , Food is delicious but they run out of enjera, and the base injera we got was old it’s has some white on it. We asked for extra enjera multiple times no enjera at all. They should let customers know ahead of time. One was complaining and canceled the food and left. 😑,

Came here for a birthday dinner, and the owner ended up going above and beyond for our group. The food is great, but we’ll be back for the service alone! 💜🥰

The best Ethiopian food we’ve eaten! We got the Chefs Special platter and the Sambusas. Everything on the platter was full of flavor and the Sambusas were delicious and came with a nice sauce!
Very much a cozy homey feel inside the restaurant and staff were really kind. You can feel the effort they put into their food!

Hit up Axum Ethiopian Restaurant for lunch yesterday—got the All Veggies Combo and a Beef Tibs, plus two sambusas, and a soda. The spread was flavorful and injera was legit soft—packed in plenty of sides and the tibs had a nice kick. Service was friendly and chill. Only wish it came with a bit more sambusa sauce. Great overall though.

TGTG pickup: They re-use food from other's plates here and do not follow other food safety protocols. Saw with my own eyes.
Update/response: I watched this happen with my own eyes. The cook had no gloves on. The injara was all weird shapes and sizes. Your words are clean-up for what happened and I will never return. I saw what I saw and it was not hygienic.

Adding this comment literally right after finishing my dinner because this place is such a gem!
I’ve always loved Ethiopian food and have been to quite a few restaurants in different cities but haven’t tried ordering online. Saw that the restaurant does ubereats and decided to give it a try. I was a little concerned about ordering kitfo (raw beef) via delivery in this hot summer weather but it did not disappoint at all! The portion size is huge (among the most generous I’ve ever seen compared to dine in experiences), very fresh and beautifully seasoned. And, as an absolute meat lover, I must say that there was so much beef (in the best way)!
In terms of the sides, they don’t skimp on the injera either (4 big pieces just for the regular size, no “extra”). Was very glad to see that they use the real injera made from teff, which gives it the characteristic fermented sourness and the chewy texture. (I felt that this is worth commenting on since I was served whiteish “injera” last year at another Ethiopian restaurant and was very disappointed.) The collard greens and misir wot (lentils) as sides were very flavorful too, the spices were bright and balanced.
Overall this was a beyond expectation ordering experience and now I feel compelled to pay them a visit in the near future :) Thanks for the amazing food!

Yo when Ras Dashen closed I thought I would never love again. I had been to a few other Ethiopian restaurants since they closed. Nothing came close to the feelings of joy I got when frequenting RD. But now we have a new wonderful Ethiopian restaurant that specializes in vegetarian dishes. It's so good. I really hope more people realize and keep this place open a long time. Its a labor of love. The owner is very nice and gave my son a free apple juice. Family business, father wife and son I believe. The son was the waiter and very nice and helpful. Hoping they add dupa wat to the menu but everything is wonderful again now that we have another exceptional restaurant in this space.
