This is my fave Ethiopean restaurant ever. The okra is a out of this world and the vibe is immaculate.
The atmosphere was very calm and soothing. The incense fragrances and coffee ceremony fragrances surely blended and gave me nostalgic vibes.I had a mixed platter Injera. The vegetarian stews are amazing. However the non vegetarian stews are less saucy and less spicy. This was a turndown on my first time expectation with the cuisine.Injera was very soft. I liked it.The staff were very kind and understanding.Will go back again for the delicious meal suggestion from the staff.
Celebrated my birthday here at Selam with a few friends and had an amazing experience! I reserved 5 days in advance for a Friday evening and there was space (not sure how booked they get), and we got to sit in the slightly more cozy area. The staff were super friendly and helpful, though sometimes a bit tricky to wave down. The food was also super yummy, we got the Vegan Platter with Okra, Red Lentils, Mushroom Tibs, Split Pea, Cabbage/Carrot and Sweet Potato as well as the Chicken Tibs. The group favourites were the mushroom tibs, okra and red lentil. Also SUPER yummy chocolate drizzle cheesecake.
Selam's is such a beautiful restaurant. My partner and i went for their birthday dinner and my first time trying Eritrean-Ethiopian food. The waitress was an absolute sweetheart and she made great recommendations. She also gave my partner a fire shot and it was so cool. The vibe is really nice and the art on the wall is very cool; we really enjoyed ourselves. The portion size for 2 is shown in the photo and was very filling. I would definitely recommends trying it out.
