Wow! I'm definitely coming back here…read more I love Ethiopian food so once I saw an Ethiopian restaurant near me I knew I had to try it. The Vegetarian Bayaaynatu is a must get! I like lentils as much as the average person but oh god I didn't know it was possible to put this much flavor in lentils! It tastes so good especially with the injera bread. I just know that I'll be ordering the vegetarian bayaaynatu every single time I come here. This dish cemented this place as a staple for me! As for the meat Bayaaynatu, it comes with a serving of the Goreng Goreng and the Tibs. It says the Goreng Goreng is best served rare but I know myself and wouldn't be able to eat rare meat and ordered it medium and I really liked it! I'd definitely get it again, it tasted so flavorful and the meat was tender and cooked just right. As for the Tibs, it came out pinker than I'd like. It tasted ok, but it was definitely overshadowed by everything else on the plate and we didn't end up finishing it. I tried it out and it tasted fine but the pink color just freaked me out to be honest! All the table have no cutlery so you have to eat everything with your hands, which I personally love! I love the place's decorations and aesthetic, but it can get a bit stuffy. We came on a hot summer day and they have no AC so it was pretty stuff and sweaty in there, but any complaint was gone once the food came out :p The server is just one guy, but food still came out quickly. I'm very satisfied with my whole experience here and I'm definitely coming again and will have to try every dish on the menu!

This place has a quaint vibe to it and the menu is fairly straightforward. I came with my wife and we were seated right when we walked in. We know portion sizes can be fairly large when Ethiopian food and we didn't want leftovers so opted for their veggie combo for 1. It was actually a good size for us to share and not feel too full. The combo comes with 6 items plus the mixed green salad. The items were all well cooked, I enjoyed the lentils but was 50/50 on things I really enjoyed vs though were okay but that was more of a personal food preference vs the item was good/bad. Overall, I'm glad we stopped in.

Plus lots of lentils, their shiro wat was quite spicy but very flavourful. It was 4pm and they had just opened and everything was already made. It definitely hit the spot. I didn't give it 4 stars only because I found the cabbage didn't sit well with me. Now I know cabbage has a reputation but normally I don't find it bothers me I'll try it again to see.

Tonight, I was welcomed by the owners, who said hi and recognized me as a regular. After my meal tonight I tapped to pay with my credit card. I got a popup on my phone saying the charge went through, but on the terminal it appeared that the charge didn't go through. I logged into my account, and saw the charge, and showed the owner. The owner insisted that I pay again. Before doing that, I told her I would call the credit card company to determine the status of the charge. After finally getting through, the company confirmed that the charge went through, and suggested that the merchant should call them for confirmation. I went back and relayed the information, but she refused to call the company, and insisted I pay again. I left the restaurant and went to the car, where I was followed by her and called a thief. It's unfortunate there were issues with their payment terminal, but for them to refuse to resolve the situation as recommended by the credit card company and insist that I pay again, then call me a thief, was an inappropriate way to handle the situation. I had already done everything I could. I won't be going back after this experience, but once they see the charge credited to their account I would like to think I'll get an apology.

For half of our group(l, it was our first experience at this location & the other half were already well versed. So to make it easier, we just doubled the identical orders for both sides of the table. We had a good mix of cooked lamb, beef & vegetarian platters (this giant platter reps 4 platters), plus soup The beef soup was extraordinarily delicious with a hint of corn taste (IMHO) in the consommé. What was slightly red in colour also reflected its spice level. Their traditional injera (bread ) was wonderfully light, as to be expected We ended with their traditional Ethiopian coffee (similar to an espresso size & strength), which came with popcorn (tradition) The service was wonderful and they were extra patient with the elderly in our group.

We have been to many Ethiopian restaurants around US and other part of the world but no other Ethnic food is better than Selam Restaurant.

We sat in the front where there is like a tent and you could see outside interestingly enough after the front area you have the bar area and then the back area. Most of the people decided to sit at the back area, (more condensed tables) which I feel less cosy. There was a tent area in the very back, set up for a large group.In any case, it's great that they serve a variety of alcoholic drinks and has lounge atmosphere in the front area. They play instrumental music without lyrics that is very relaxing. Ordered the SELAM special for two it included three veggies and the chicken and beef tins which were not a lot of meat to be honest so we added a side of kitfo which was actually a good portion of meat. If I had the SELAM special for two without adding the extra, I would've been very disappointed as the meat amount is very little. The cost was $40 for the platter and $12 extra for the kitfo.

I've had several Ethiopian restaurants in the past and have always loved the heavy spices used in the cuisine. This is one of the few foods where I prefer the vegetarian dishes to the meats, with the platter featuring a mix of lentils (my favourite), chick peas, cabbage and carrot stew, beets, carrots/string beans, and collard greens (unfortunately tough and hard). The meat platter contained doro wat (spicy chicken stew), a lamb dish, and a beef stew. Each were spicy and bursting with flavour. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender, but the ground beef was quite dry and probably my least favourite dish. Everything is eaten with your hands by using the injera (Ethiopian sour dough) to scoop up the food. Would love to come back and dine-in.
