Reviews for Selam Restaurant and Cafe in San Jose, CA
Food - Excellent Food!! Very flavorful. The lentils, greens, salads all very so simple yet elegant. Service - Excellent.... Friendly owner/staff. They checked in on us. Ordered the vegetarian combo and mushroom tibs for 3 people. It was sufficient andsatisfying from a quantity standpoint. Note to other customers - As a sign of respect, always finish the food you've ordered. Read more
Excellent food at really affordable prices. Great service too.
Perhaps the cheapest Ethiopian restaurant in San Jose (close to Santana Row) yet the best in San Jose in my opinion. I have... visited many Ethiopian restaurants in San Jose and I found the food here to be more flavorful. I ordered the vegetablecombination and it was fantastic. Read more
I've been to this place many times and love it. I've tried quite a bit of the menu but my favorite by far is the veggie platter.... Everything is bursting with flavor. The service is great as well. Love this place. Read more

We were craving for Ethiopian delight. We fell back to our usual Zeni which has not been opened for dine-in since COVID-19. Yelp... wasn't particularly helpful by letting us reserve a table with waitlist and when we got, it was only open for togo. Nevertheless the person inside Zeni recommended another place close by, Selam to try ou for dine in. Selam had outdoor seatingonly. Ordered our usual combo, which was very close to our liking with a twist of a new lentil curry in addition to yemisir-wot.That had unique flavor to it (distinct from yemisir-wot red sauce base) and whitened really nice for our palate. Overall foodand service was good. Unfortunately our experience was bit spoiled by folks smoking around, so half way we made the rest to go.Once this place opens indoor dining, we'll definitely visit again for the couple of unique dishes. Keep up the good vibe!! Read more
Not sure how they got this rate. But the place has so many problems going on which they never been fixed. - No Ac inside (bring... your own). the place is extremely hot and you can?t enjoy food there. They never turned AC on at all. - no toilet papers, (noneoperative). - dirty background by the cashier food area. All the cups, coffee areas and so on. - every time they serve, thereare no napkins provided even when you ask sometimes they say they don?t have it. - tables usually dirty from the previouscustomers, they don?t clean it right away. - flies all over. - outside sanitizer never works terrible. I don?t recommend thisplace, may be only to go. I hope owner will improve it all. Read more
