Aksum, Philadelphia PA

Food is good! Business is horrible. They close when they want to. It’s been two occasions that they closed early instead of staying open til 11 like it’s posted.

It was my first time there and the food was really good. There was so many thing I wanted to try but I decided to with the Monte Cristo becuase I love gouda cheese.

Friendly staff. Fresh delicious food. Hot smooth coffee. Reasonable prices. Wonderful atmosphere!

Delicious food and excellent presentation. BYOB. Some people say it’s a little pricey but I think you’re getting an amazing deal because food like this down town probably cost 50 to 100% more.

Solid brunch spot. As space is a bit tight, a server working the shift when I was there knocked over the water glass on my table as she turned her body away from a table nearby. She spilled water on my jeans and proceeded to get more cloth napkins. In the end, she not only didn’t comp anything in the meal, she also forgot to take off a charge that we cancelled way before our dishes arrived. She quickly removed the extra order but missed that opportunity to make up her earlier mistake.

We were greeted and seated by a waitress. After 21 mins of the entire staff ignoring us we decided to get up and leave. I will try it again some day and consider changing my review. There was an ample amount of staff all at the bar area conversing and congregating with one another as we left. Bummer.

Really good food. They took our reservation and located us at an unsuitable table. We also ordered our food as tapas for sharing and instead of bringing out plates when ready, they brought it out all at once.

Food was delicious. Nice wait staff. Its byob. I gave 4 stars because it's extremely hot in here. All the Windows are open.

I was passing by with a friend and we stopped by. You can eat inside or sidewalk cafe style. I chose sidewalk cafe style. The food was very good with an excellent menu. The service was good was also. Only negative which isn't really a negative is it's BYOB, so be sure to bring your favorite wine or beverage. I will go back again to explore the menu.

Good place for breakfast and brunch. Tried french toast, crab omelette. Both were good. They have both indoor and outdoor sitting. Usually the place is crowded on the weekends.
One good thing is, they keep water bowls for the dogs.

Great place cozy, a bit of upscale feel, very nice, attentive staff, food was delicious. Price was very reasonable. I loved it we need more of these in our area.

Cozy restaurant nestled in the heart of West Philly. The Best Chicken and waffles and Shrimp and grits! Great food and friendly staff.

So just called this restaurant and was told that they’re weren’t doing to go because of mother’s day. I’m unable to leave the house. Maybe they should think twice about accommodating for mother’s to take out who can’t leave the house. Definitely won’t be coming here anymore. There’s way better restaurants around here who will accommodate. Thanks Aksum

The food is AMAZING. If there was more space/ we were allowed to switch tables away from the 40° breeze of the front door this would hands down be a 5 star review. Again, THEIR BRUNCH IS AMAZING.
