Injera

When the urge for injera hits, it hits hard. And Axum Cafe, on Haight Street at Pierce, filled my desire for the spongy, sour Ethiopian pancakes I love so dearly. Axum is a charming, cheap, family-run cafe, where the food is served fast. Like under 5 minutes fast. This may alarm some, but we were so hungry we saw it as a divine blessing. The American-style salad served on the injera was new for me, but as might be imagined it was devoured along with the rest the $12 vegetarian platter for two. Mmmm.
