Selam Restaurant

We have become steady regulars at Selam. It's hard not to keep coming back to the exquisite food they prepare, the kind staff (mostly the owners and their daughters) and the lively music and decor. I get the vegetarian platter every time-- I eat every bite until I can roll out the door.

The food is so delicious and the family that works here is very nice! The portions are very large and the spices are excellent. Our party of 2 shared a veggie platter for 2 and the Awaze Lamb Tibs. Both dishes were very flavorful and we ate until we rolled ourselves out. Service can be slow, we waited over 45 minutes after our order to get our food, and they forgot to bring us our beer we ordered. However, we would definitely return here to get some delicious Ethiopian cuisine!

Stopped here on the way to catch a flight home. A wonderful family owned restaurant. The seating was very American, I was hoping for more traditional basket tables and stools...but never the less clean and bright location. We were the only patrons at the time so service was good and fast. We ordered a variety platter of meat and veggies. The food was amazing. The beef top had great flavor and the chicken was tinder. Overall, this was a great experience. I do wish they carried Ethiopian honey wine, but they did have some good Ethiopian beer!

We were in town for the weekend and looking for some good Ethiopian food. We chose Selam restaurant and so glad we did. The food was delicious I highly recommend this restaurant...

Came to Selam late at night, straight from MPS. Absolutely amazing vegetarian platter, so good. 10/10 would eat here again. Super nice staff and cute decor to boot.

The food was amazing! I used to go to Fasika in St.Paul, but they closed down. If you are a Minnesota native, you know that was the go to spot. Selam was so good. There was a little bit of a wait, but well worth it because the food came out super fresh and so good. I got the Beef Tibs platter and added, greens, lentils, and cottage cheese! Everyone please check them out!

What a wonderful restaurant. We ordered the lentil samosas. I am gluten free so did not get a taste but the others loved them. We were surprised when we got to sample a traditional bread. Again my eating companions loved the bread. The meat and vegetarian dishes were incredible. Not sure I could pick a favorite. Everything was flavorful. Wish we lived near by!

Love this place. The owner is so welcoming and comes by to make sure you're enjoying everything. Here, you're encouraged to take your time with your meal. My teens loved the coffee ceremony. As a group of three, we had a combo platter and samosas. The samosas were so fresh and hot. The combo platter gave us the perfect amount of variety, with the beef tibs being a real favorite. It was all so hot and freshly made, we felt like lucky guests at a family establishment. Support this wonderful spot!

It was our first time ate in this restaurant. We ordered one beef dish and one lamb dish. Foods were very tasty, environment was clean and cozy, plus the service was super hospitality.

Soooooo good! Second time here. Great ambience, friendly service, and food is always delicious!!!!!
