  • If you ever want to introduce about 50 of your friends to Ethiopian food, Axum is your place. The huge dining area was dark and mostly empty when I visited on a Monday evening. I stood at the entrance for maybe 15 seconds, as my arrival seemed to spur some confusion -- perhaps because I appeared to be the only non-Ethiopian among the nine people in the establishment, which I took as a good sign. I then was led to my seat, and a male host asked if I'd eaten there before. I said no, and, fearing he might have interpreted that as meaning I'd not had Ethiopian food before, I inquired about the kitfo. He assured me it was good, but I opted for the vegetarian combo -- the barometer by which I evaluate Ethiopian restaurants. The dish didn't come quickly, but it was worth the wait. The split peas and lentils were well-spiced and tasted distinctly different from each other, and the presence of collard greens was most welcomed. Some Ethiopian places don't offer them as part of their veggie combos, and while I would have preferred potatoes to either pea pods or one of the two sections of salad on my plate, the combo's more notable for what it contains than what it lacks. The injera was a little thicker and more bitter than at similar restaurants I've tried in town, and I was given just enough to scoop up the entirety of my meal. The host stopped by perhaps three times as I ate, and I assured him I was quite pleased with the food. It bordered on a little too much attention, which I'll take over not enough attention. A couple of small downsides: I asked for water and was given a bottle of it, which costs a couple of dollars. I'm sure that's because the tap water isn't good to drink, a common issue at Las Vegas-area restaurants. But it still amounts to a $2 tariff on a meal. And the eatery's front window is covered in extremely visible fingerprints, which doesn't give an impression of cleanliness even though everything else seemed well-kempt. According to Ethiopian culture, when dining you're supposed to use your right hand 'cause the left is reserved for, ummm, other things that happen later. I choose to eat with my left anyway because I'm a lefty. No one at the restaurant gave me a funny look over it, so bonus points for that.
