The next Ethnic Lunch is an Ethiopian treat that will be held on June 1st at Axum restaurant.  Axum is located at 5501 E Colfax Ave, near the corner of Hudson and Colfax.  For those of you who have not yet tried Ethiopian food, you are in for a treat!  The plates serve one person and usually come with about 5 or 6 little piles of stewed meat or vegetables, served atop injera (a flat bread).  It is generally plenty of food for one person.

Two meal options are available for $11.00.  The first option is a Meat and Vegetable Combo which contains (approximately) 2 meats and 3 vegetables.  The second option is a Vegetable only plate.  If you have questions about the details of each dish due to dietary restrictions, please contact Cali and she will do some investigating on your behalf.  The meal will include coffee and tea, compliments of Axum Restaurant.  The price does not include desert, other drinks or the tip, so please plan accordingly.

Please RSVP by May 24th.  Include which plate you would like to order: Option 1 (Meat and Vegetable Combo Plate) or Option 2 (Vegetable Combo Plate).
