May 13, 2010 - PRLog -- Washiongton, DC-Axum Ethiopian Restaurant (http://www.axumethiopianrestaurant.com) emerged as one of the best Ethiopian restaurants in North America. The motto of Axum Ethiopian Restaurant is: “It’s not where you eat, it’s what you eat.” Located on 9th and U Street NW, Axum Ethiopian Restaurant  is a modest establishment with an exotic menu. Well, this is Washington, DC where its residents and tourists alike indulge themselves in anything "ethnic" and Axum does not disappoint. It is often difficult to find a single restaurant where you find the best tibis, shiro-wot, doro-wot, you name it under the same roof. The decor is simple: The menu offers a standard selection of Ethiopian cuisine. You’ll select from four categories: beef, lamb, vegetarian and spaghetti. The menu also lists the ingredients of the stew-based dishes.
Sharing a couple of entrees is sufficient for two people, because all the dishes are accompanied by injera, huge rounds of spongy bread. One succulent lamb dish, ye’beg tib, is stewed with berbere sauce, a red chili pepper paste composed of spices and herbs.
Vegetarians can order the veggie sampler, which includes yellow lentils, collard greens sauteed with onions, and peppers. Overall, entrees are moderately inexpensive, and the service is slow- paced, but polite and attentive. There is also a full bar stocked with premium spirits and a decent beer selection.
