Selam Ethiopian Eritrean Cuisine

This place is amazing. I lived in Ethiopia for 2 years and this is the only restaurant in the Orlando area that comes close.

The meat was all very well done, the seasonings were good, and the gomen was decent. I'm a little let down, to be honest. I have to eat it because I'm unwell and stuck in my hotel, but yeah... I'm pretty bummed about it.

I discovered this restaurant thanks to my love for Ethiopian cuisine. The food is delicious, especially the Derek beef tibs. The veggie combo is also a popular choice and perfect for vegetarians. The restaurant itself is beautiful.

"The food at this restaurant is consistently incredible."

You will not regret it!! I don't know where to start with Selam's from the 1st time I've ever visited I have received amazing customer service and good vibes across the board. Our server is ALWAYS so helpful in explaining the different items on the menu and always has a radiating smile that could turn even the most unpleasant day around. Dining inside allows you to embrace Ethiopian and Eritrean culture as they have art from across the regions displayed on the wall and around the restaurant. There is festive music playing and it truly is a culinary experience. I have been here with both vegetarians and meat lovers like myself and we have neither group has ever been disappointed. We usually start with the samosas (lentils, or beef) and then depending on the crowd we might start experimenting or get the tried and true combination platter. IT IS THE BOMB. It is a sharable portion for 2 (or maybe even 3) and it has so many flavors and textures to enjoy. I love the community aspect of being able to eat with our hands and share the experience with our friends and loved ones. Will visit again and again as long as I get to see the same familiar faces.
