The food was great!!! We had the sea bass platter, calamari, brussel sprouts, mussels, lamb chop platter, bread pudding & iced tea sangria. Received good service & we sat outside. It was a beautiful night.

Delicious food for brunch, and very baby friendly. Our waitress kindly brought out a complimentary kiddie cup and bowl of fruit for our 1 year old. And the outdoor seating was very comfortable in full shade at 10am.

I had a excellent experience there with my family, celebrating my uncle's 80th birthday. Food was excellent and the service was too. Going back in a week to celebrate my anniversary.

Service was so so, but chicken over rice was delicious, it is kind of mix Mediterranean food, with hummus, samosa and. I do like their platter, but tables are too close to each other, and outside seemed nice.

We called 15 minutes before closing & the owner said no worries, come we’ll wait for you. Food was really good. Lebanese chicken was seasoned really well. Mashed potatoes were good. Green beans were good. Everything was good man. Good establishment. Owner was cool. Keep it up!

This happy hour was amazing! We had best service from Sheena she went way above and beyond. The bartender her drinks were so perfect. The food was wonderful the chicken wings were fried to perfection. I love the vibe of this place and I love that it's Black owned I love to support my people.

I didn’t realize how many great Mediterranean options there are in Cedar Park, and to my delight Aksum is another great spot. It is a very tight restaurant with a very hipster vibe I must say. I ordered the Moroccan Chicken & Waffles for a birthday brunch and the food did not disappoint. The chicken was very hot and juicy, and the waffles had a great crunch. I was a bit sad however when they served me chicken breast tenders, and not fried chicken with bone-in. Overall, it is a very friendly place that is great for brunch.

Overall great little restaurant. Service was good. Prices are good as well. Food, oh thy food was amazing. Every dish was made with love. Entrées will not immediately come out; gave them some time. Trust me, you will be satisfied. I wish I had met the chef. It is BYOB. The place is small so make your reservation ahead of time just to be on the safe side. Music selection was on point and the decor is simple yet nicely done. We went for a very late dinner on a Saturday night. We were not rushed. The ambiance was enjoyable and calm. Perfect for date night. If you're in the Philly area, especially in the University area, you must check this place out. I highly recommend this spot, especially if you're a foodie like me. Bon Appétit!

Aksum has some of the best brunch in West Philly! I've been there several times, and some of my favorite dishes are the shakshuka eggs, banana date pancakes, and almond crusted french toast. Sunday brunch here is especially nice during the warmer months when you can sit outside and enjoy the fresh air and watch everyone walking around in their Sunday's best clothing. The staff is friendly and I've never had a problem getting a table. If you're trying to do brunch on a Sunday, your best bet is to call in advance to reserve a table, otherwise they may not be able to seat you if you come in after 11 am (or you may end up waiting for a bit).

I was so shocked by how good the food was! They serve until 11pm, I was honestly not expecting delicious food when I arrived, just something edible and honestly I think this is some of the best food in the area. I do think that the music inside could be quieter and the EQ needs a bit of work but we sat outside which was lovely.

Met a friend here during COVID-19, so we ate outside. I liked that fact that the restaurant was BYOB. I had the chicken lemon with a side of green beans and mashed potatoes and my friend had the salmon dish. We both really enjoyed our meals. I would consider this a healthier option for dining out. The location is right on Baltimore Ave so an easy met up between someone living in the city and someone living towards the Media area. I would definitely come here again. I enjoyed the laid back feeling of being at a restaurant on a summer day, drinking outside again:)

I adore this place, brunch or dinner it never disappoints. It's a neighborhood gem. The middle eastern platter and Moroccan chicken and waffles are my favorites. Customer service never disappoints either.

Good atmosphere, decent food. Lemon chicken was a little acidic at first but balanced out with the mash. Surrounding area is so so and only has on street parking
