Easy to overlook on a non-descript stretch of East Hastings, Axum is nevertheless considered some of the best Ethiopian in the city by the locals. A clean, inviting dining room welcomes diners to settle in and decide on the chicken, lamb or lentil wot (stew) or the various tibs (pieces of meat sautéed with vegetables). As is common, combo platters are a great option and everything is served on fresh, spongy injera. Fresh ingredients shine through without overwhelming oiliness and just the right amount of spice.
