Ethiopian Restaurants in Chicago, IL

“The food, atmosphere, and the staff were amazing! We celebrated my nephews birthday there and I can't wait to go back and bring some friends!“

“Beyond delicious!! First time there and can’t wait to go back!!“

“OH! Are you in for a TREAT when you dine here. The food is sensational. We have traveled all of the world and lived all over the United States. The cuisine here is unique and out of this world. The recipes are unique to this restaurant. We have eaten at other Ethiopian restaurants. They do not even register next to this one. The Proprietor is SOOOOO nice. And, ask him what brought him to the United States. It's an emotionally moving story. If you haven't had Ethiopian cuisine before, it is NOT scary. There are hardy vegetarian and meatatarian dishes. So, there's something for everyone. And, the dishes that are spicy are mild. So, don't worry about your sensitive belly. The meal is a SHARED experience. So, make sure you bring friends. They will thank you afterwards for sure☺“

“spicy food, good service and reasonable prices“

“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!“

“Food is absolutely delicious“

“The service was lovely and the food was incredible! I highly recommend the kitcha fitfit. Someone who worked there also recommended putting honey on top and dipping in sour cream, which cut some of the heat nicely while still letting the tasty spices come through.“

“Great food. Very friendly staff!!“
