In preparation for my trip to Zanzibar, 'the spice island,' my friend Sarah took me to Axum Cafe for dinner last night. I have to be honest and tell you that when she said it was Ethiopian food I was thinking rice/beans/veggies. Holy Moses this place was delicious. Started off with an Ethiopian beer and devoured the Tibsie Chicken and the 3 veggie combo (lentils, chickpeas and mushrooms). Everything came out on a big plate with a crepe which we used to scoop up the the meal. Full of unique flavors and tons of crazy spices.
If you haven't been, you should consider going. Run by an Ethiopian woman and a truly authentic experience!

I wish I lived in SF! That place sounds DEEEE-lish!! Can't wait to hear all about your trip. I had no idea it was a 1.5-month excursion. Fabulous!! Selfishly, I hope you don't get married over there. CA is far enough away from NJ. Have the BEST time!! A month-long vaca?! You better get really tan.
