I'm supremely pleased with my experience at Selam! The owner is very friendly and gracious, and the food is superb. I got the veggie sampler and everything was great. My favs were the yellow lentils and the spinach, but I had to stop myself eating more once I got full because it was all so delicious. I will be returning soon, especially since they were out of veggie sambusas and my mouth is watering just thinking about how delightful I know they'll be
Beyond the restaurant’s terrific vegetable combo, I also want to call attention to an unexpected hit: dulet. A dish we haven’t previously encountered in Ethiopian restaurants in the US (even major ones in DC and Denver), Dulet consists of a mixture of lamb tripe, liver, and beef, finely chopped , and cooked in garlic, onion, and mitmita. Its effect? An amazing mixture of chewy, earthy, crunchy, tender, all together with a savory kick that comes from cardamom and chili.
My friends and I had a great time here! It was some people's first time eating Ethiopian food and the 2 owners came and taught us how to properly eat the food. The food, coffee, and service was all amazing! Highly recommend.
Lovely family run business, everyone is so friendly. Great option for Ethiopian food in the twin cities. Outdoor seating too.
Great food. Reasonable prices. Operated by a lovely Ethiopean family. Highly recommend. Good family restaurant.
My first foyer into Ethiopian cuisine and I am VERY pleased!! I enjoy Indian/Korean/Mediterranean, but this may be my new favourite. We had dishes of lamb, chicken, beef and samosas, and I ate until I couldn't. The owner was so sweet and gracious with our questions. Spices permeate the air in this welcoming fragrence when you walk in. A must try experience!
The food and service was 10/10. The woman cooking puts her heart into her dishes. The tiramisu was a great dessert and the coffee is good and strong. I will definitely be going back!
We loved the food and hospitality of Selam! We ordered the Veggie combo platter (#25) and a meat dish (#19). It was comfort food for my soul. This was the 2nd time I've ever had Ethiopian food (1st time was years ago in Boston) and I'm officially hooked. They will see me drive the 45 minutes on a regular basis!We found Selam via a Google search. Reviews were good so we decided to give it a try and I'm glad we did. Go - and bring your friends!
Very good food, and great service. Friendly and helpful. I had a very good time here.
Best Ethiopian food in the Twin Cities!We absolutely enjoyed our meals. The spices were outstanding, the portions were perfect, and the staff were so nice and friendly we couldn't have been happier. We cannot wait to eat here again. I would give it more stars if I could!
