Maadi Selam

Delicious, fluffy injera with the perfect hint of sourness. We’ve visited twice and were not disappointed. The beef tartar was outstanding, and the hummus with injera was amazing. Other meat dishes were also excellent. The Shiro was decent, though a bit on the salty side. Coffee was nice and very reasonably priced. Overall, a place we’d love to keep coming back to. Street parking is not difficult to find in the back of the restaurant.

Maadi Selam was clean, had a great atmosphere, and the food was incredible. We ordered the veggie combo and lentil dish to share between two people. The place was pretty full, but the service did not suffer for it. Would highly recommend!

I think this place is trying to avoid spices, because the food was missing those characteristic Ethiopian spices, and the injera didn't have that characteristic sour undertone. I do think it was tasty, I just wouldn't choose to go back for a while because there are so many other choices on Telegraph

Sorry, I didn't have time to take a picture because we ate it so quickly! We got veggie combos and a fish sandwich. Everything was exceptional! Not too heavy or greasy, not too spicy--the most heat-sensitive member of the family was happy--and there was a great variety in the combo. I think the combo had 7 different dishes in it. The hummus, red lentils, and greens can be had as individual dishes if you don't want the combo but we will probably stick with the combo in the future. The portions are large; these 3 dishes fed all 5 of us with a little left over. Great prices, too! A vegetarian or vegan would be quite happy here. We didn't try the meat dishes other than the very large fish sandwich. The service was attentive and quick. We are all looking forward to coming back!

Good price, Delicious food, Friendly service
