Selam And Cafe - Menu

it's a very long wait. if you are really hungry, don't waste your time. I put 10/10 on the rating of lame places.

It does not look as good at first sight but food is excellent. Price is reasonable and the place is located near Freeways Main streets and the Winchester house.

Highly recommended restaurant, clean, the food is extremely delicious, all the new employees are very respectful and caring. Toilet is very clean, plenty of parking. I love this place so much. View menu

Can I really not give 10 stars? My God, they would deserve every one. Every bite was devine. Hard to explain the joy of having amazingly tart injira, perfectly spiced vegetables, and delectable lentils. Can't wait to go back! Best find of the year.

Bad experience being around rude people the girl work in the morning and evening always call me out my name in there language . Feel that's very disrespectful of them when I'm dinning in for dinner the owner is very nice Lady.????‍the girl that working now is racist why does the owner believe in hiring racist people

Me and my friend had the best experience here! The food was incredibly flavorful, there were so many different textures, and the portions were enormous. I’ve never had such a friendly and personable server. He made sure we had a fun time and introduced us to his aunt/the chef who was so sweet. If you’re in San Jose, you MUST visit Selam! View menu

Wow... I have been to many good Ethiopian restaurants and this could definitely be the one with the best food. A minor issue was that we went late and they had run out of injera, so our choices were French bread or rice. That issue notwithstanding, the meal was excellent. Too bad I forgot to take some pictures, but they would not have captured the taste anyway!An unexpected bonus was that their prices are also very reasonable for the area!

I’ve had a TON of Ethiopian food across the US. This is literally my favorite spot and I genuinely believe should be a Michelin start resto based on food quality. Ask if chef Elsa is cooking if it’s your first time. I’m moving soon and so so sad to leave Selam. Have eaten it 1-2x a week the last 2.5 years and I live 30 mins away. No joke. Also, they’re really good people. If they accidentally misunderstand your order, just tell them and they’ll make it right. They haven’t raised prices since I started going. They are so consistent with quality and quantity. I’ve actually never eaten at the restaurant so this is just for takeout.Gluten free injera is a big plus for me as well!

This review is only for one food item which is SHIRO with teff enjera. I have heard from a lot of friends admiring the shiro dish and so it was in my mind to try it.And so, One Friday, while I was thinking what to eat, I remembered and so happily I ordered. I was so hungry and in a hurry to get my food and eat it. Oh boy was I disappointed? Absolutely.First of, the onion(a lot) in the shiro is raw and so annoying cuz I felt like I am eating a salsa. I know we habesha's love onlions in our food. but we usually makulalat it. I didn't order a doro but a shiro so that much of shinkurt in a shiro and raw is never seen.Second the taste is not great too. I mean come on all the people who said the s... View menu
