About

Axum serves Ethiopian dishes with a dedicated vegan menu featuring lentil and chickpea stews, greens, and cabbage, typically eaten with soft, pleasantly sour injera. Generous combo platters, owner-led menu explanations, and outdoor seating suit relaxed meals, though one recent dinner review criticized a $150 chef’s special for its flavor and temperature.
