What the community has to say about Axum Cafe

Information about this business (3)

hello there fans. Axum Cafe is an ethiopian restaurant that is in San Francisco. It has been around 17 YEARS. its officially the BEST ethiopian restaurant in SF if ya wanna come and stop by at 698 haight and pierce

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....

Axum Cafe serves great Ethiopian fare in a small, cheey space.

Winner of more “Best” awards than Taylor Rain. Eritrean-style dining: large, cheap platters of spicy, stew-like concoctions (meat or veggie) sopped up with addictive spongy bread. Minimalist décor and no utensils: Let your fingers do the eating. Not a first-date kinda place unless you’re into messy. Fun diversion from the white man’s method and pitchers of beer to ice down the taste buds.

Really good Ethiopian food, with lots of vegetarian options. Great, warm service, makes you feel at home. We had vegetarian combo for two with just the right amount of kick. Deli! Highly recommended.

Sadly enough it took me almost three years to finally visit an Ethiopian restaurant since being here in San Francisco. Finally, my craving took hold and forced me to jump on Yelp. I'm happy to...

Nice local spot that gets your ethiopian fix. I wouldn't say it's the best in the city, but I would definitely go again because it's convenient.

Great, simple fare, with lovely flavours

We just love visiting this restaurant, and go every time we visit San Francisco.
It's not fancy, by any means, and the decor looks more like a take away than a restaurant, but the service is always friendly, the food full of flavour and the prices cheap.
We love to have the platter for two, which is massive, comes with...
