More information on Axum

You are not only encouraged to eat with your hands at this Ethiopian restaurant, but it is mandatory. Each guest orders from a selection of spicy lamb, beef, shrimp, chicken or veggies, and it comes on a platter lined with a spongy flatbread called injera. The food is flavorful and tends to be on the spicy side. A varied beer selection, including some African brands, will help cool down your mouth. Do not pass up the authentic Ethiopian coffee to close the meal.
