More information on Axum

There are two things you should know about this Lower Haight fave—the food is spicy and the honey wine is strong. The menu is limited, but it has something for both veggie and meat lovers. The best bet is to order a combination platter. It comes on top of some injera, an enormous squishy pancake used to mop up sauce. It will be smothered with helpings of stewed meats, vegetables or both. Gathered around this luscious feast with friends and loved ones, you (and your stomach) will be happy as can be.
