The gluten-free Injerra was delicious. Portions are large. They also accommodated my dairy sensitivity. Salad is delightful!! I also had the lamb tibs

I lived in Ethiopia for about two months, not that long, but long enough to know what good, authentic Ethiopian food taste like. This place is absolutely legit. Just ask for the gluten-free Injera…and maybe try some Tej.

Been here a few times and the food is amazing!!! They have GF injera and most of their food is naturally GF. They take care to help prevent cross contamination. They even have a GF beer made out of teff. It’s amazing and the closest to gluten beer.

Delicious and if you call ahead they will make the injera Gluten Free for you. We had the vegetarian combo and my very sensitive celiac son enjoyed everything and wasn’t glutened. The prices on Saturday for lunch are the same as dinner prices…so it is either a pricey lunch or reasonable dinner! Think it was around $17 per person for the veggie combo.

We have been visiting Ethiopian restaurants for over 30 years. This is definitely one of the best. Call ahead to ensure they have enough GF injera.

Super yummy food! They use Ted flour which is gluten free. It’s very similar to quinoa flour in look and taste. Very delicious. You can ask them to make the entire plate gf and share your food! Excellent place to eat.

I love good Ethiopian food and Selam does not disappoint. Delicious! Just call ahead and make sure they have plenty of teff only injera. A lot of Ethiopian restaurants in the states will add just a touch of durum flour to give the injera better ability to withstand the liquid in the foods they place on top. However, injera is traditionally made with 100% teff flour which is naturally gluten free.
I highly recommend making reservations if you plan to eat there late and if you plan to eat before 6:30/7:00 and it’s busy be prepared to wait. They staff the restaurant heavily at 7:00pm, but before that they have fewer wait staff.
Super friendly service and absolutely delicious Ethiopian food!
