On a night out in Amsterdam, I recently visited the Ethiopian restaurant Axum (Utrechtsesdwarsstraat 85). It was an incredibly quiet Tuesday night though I've heard rumors that it fills up fast on weekends. We ordered vegetarian dishes from the well-priced menu (around €12 for a main course) and were delighted with our choices. Mine can be seen below - eaten with the aid of the pancake, and no cutlery. Not as difficult as it sounds.

The menu and decor is authentic Ethiopian. We left satisfied and with promises to visit again.

Wow! I stayed just down the street from this restaurant, and visited one night. It was dead when I was there (one group of American biotourists who were halfway through the meal when I got there), and I feared that they wouldn't be in business very long. I'm glad to hear they're still around and still serving up such good food. I was very impressed by how friendly the owner was, and how politely he explained the process of eating the cuisine to a neophyte.
