We wanted to experience authentic Ethiopian cuisine. This restaurant did not disappoint! We were welcomed with open arms and the gentleman was very nice and helpful in helping us decide what to order.
We tried the axum special which was steak (well done) and the fish dish. They served both our meals on the same plate which was a nice experience to share and eat together. Of course this was full experience, eating with our hands. Nice!!
We will definitely visit again!
It’s rare to find the quality Ethiopian food in DC, but finally this guys open right up on 9th street NW. Axum has been here for a very long time but through different owners. They have a new owner who has the right food, to be honest it’s that authentic Ethiopian food. Their veggie combo was top notch and flavorful with some good spices. I am not a big fan of Meat, but their Geba was one of the tenderloins that so soft beef. When I say that you should give it a try and blame me if it isn’t worth trying.
Excellent injera, we had meat cubes and vegetables on top of it and it was fantastic. Ethiopians were here which made us feel as if we found the right place. Michael's service was excellent and warm. Really tasty, highly recommend.
Axum has the most delicious Ethiopian food. They serve good sized portions and the staff are very attentive. There are lots of Ethiopian restaurants in DC. Axum is the best.
best restaurant with Ethiopian hospitality and delicious sauces, they have best vegan foods with very good customer service.
Axum Restaurant in Washington DC hummmmm ! I used takeout service but I saw how they serve. Can’t wait to dine in there, such a beautiful atmosphere, best customer service!
Obviously people outside the habesha culture don't know what good habesha food taste like smh. I once fell victim to it assuming it was (food) all the same.Thanks to Helen, my co worker a native from Ethiopia educated me on habesha culture/Food .That's like saying Olive Garden is the best Italian restaurant. Axum is equivalent to a Chinese carryout opposed to fine dining ethiopian restaurant. Here's a great suggestion to try. Cher Cher on 9th Street Northwest you will not be disappointed thank me later.....
Great service nice ambience, excellent management.. food is very tasty
