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!
