Selam Restaurant

a real hole in the wall. i walked under multiple freeways to get here. super yummy food, it feels like you walked into someone’s home kitchen.

No frills, hole in the wall restaurant with absolutely delicious Eritrean food. The kindest owner and server who is very friendly and helpful. The food is fresh, flavorful, light and so comforting. I will be back! It was so good I didn't even get a chance to take pictures.

The food here is so amazing you need to try it ASAP. After we ordered we were sitting outside waiting for our food and I commented to my partner that it smelled so good I wished my phone had a way to share the smell with other people (yes, I was high) and at that exact moment a guy in an electric wheelchair rolled by on MLK and said, "Damn! That smells good!

Spices were flavorful, and experience felt genuine. Wasn’t provided utensils but was expected to use bread to scoop and eat. Ended up being delicious enough to take home. Didn’t like the bread taste though, could be just a personal preference, since the person I came with enjoyed it.

Salem has best veggie combo I've ever had, and there is gluten free injera. I go here at least once a week
