Ji Kim★★★★★

Fresh, delicious food with generous portion sizes. Our 4-person group got the veggie and meat combo for 3 and had leftovers to enjoy the next day. The chef himself came out to say "hi" and explain the menu, which was a lovely surprise! I thoroughly enjoyed the injera, which was soft and pleasantly sour. Not difficult at all to get to the restaurant if you take public transit or drive.

Ven Bhaskarla★★★★★

Axum is a hidden gem! The food is packed with traditional flavors that reminded me of my time in Addis Ababa. We left completely stuffed because the portions are so generous. Beyond the food, the owner is an amazing person who clearly pours his heart into the restaurant. 10/10 experience.

Laura Ward★★★★★

We ordered 3 different dishes and had 2 days of extra, the amounts were so generous. The Ethiopian beer was delicious, prices reasonable, cleanliness perfect, and Chef came over to chat. Really great lentil and beef dishes with spongey Injera bread. We didn’t leave feeling overfull and sleepy like with Italian or Chinese cuisine. Loved not using utensils and dipping and scoping with the perfect fluffy bread to savor every bite.

Bettina Boateng★★★★★

Axum Ethiopian Restaurant in Edgewater is truly a gem! The Ethiopian cuisine is not only delicious but healthy and nourishing. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like family. The owner is incredibly welcoming, and he takes pride in every dish. The menu suits all tastes—whether you prefer spicy, mild, vegetarian, or meat options. The staff is full of smiles and makes you feel at home. I especially want to thank the manager, who noticed it was my first visit and even though I ordered a takeaway box, he wanted me and my mother to taste his best offerings and the sample box was mouthwat
