Low cost Ethiopian restaurant not far from Santana Row food was decent good and great tasting really good injeer breadYou can also get beer here.Don’t expect high class seating but the food is well worth the visit

Good enough. The lentils were awesome, the greens could have used a tad more seasoning.

Good food and service. Amesegenalu!

Always delicious and soooo flavorful! We had the veggie combo and the lamb Thebes with salad, served on injera which soaks up the flavor. So yummy!!! Wonderful and friendly people! Recently open again for dining!

The Food was excellent, Friedly service.

Good quality Ethiopian food.

I just had food here with my friends and honestly this place is the best. Definitely you should try chicken or lamb combo. The service is super good and waiters are very welcome. I will come back again for sure.

Outstanding authentic Ethiopian food and very friendly service

We were craving for Ethiopian delight. We fell back to our usual Zeni which has not been opened for dine-in since COVID-19. Yelp wasn't particularly helpful by letting us reserve a table with waitlist and when we got, it was only open for togo. Nevertheless the person inside Zeni recommended another place close by, Selam to try ou for dine in.Selam had outdoor seating only. Ordered our usual combo, which was very close to our liking with a twist of a new lentil curry in addition to yemisir-wot. That had unique flavor to it (distinct from yemisir-wot red sauce base) and whitened really nice for our palate. Overall food and service was good. Unfortunately our experience was bit spoiled by folks smoking around, so half way we made the rest to go. Once this place opens indoor dining, we'll definitely visit again for the couple of unique dishes. Keep up the good vibe!!

Every time i've gone here the food and service have been great. the portions are perfect size and with the injera that comes with the meal you can get as full as you'd like. i always end up eating too much ?
