What a great place. Lots of street parking and the food is delicious. Lots of interesting flavor combos that I wouldn't normally have gone for, but even as a picky eater, I enjoyed trying some new things. Also pretty much everything is gluten free unless you order with flour tortillas!

Over 3 days in St Louis, I ate at: * Salt + Smoke (Delmar Blvd) * Pappy’s Smokehouse * Sugarfire Smokehouse S+S had the best brisket of the 3. I liked the deviled eggs. They knew what items were gluten free gf. Ribs were good. Liked the sauce.

Chauniece is so great! I have a gluten allergy and she was so accommodating! The food was absolutely amazing, and when we told her, she reported back to the chef, Miss Cat, who was then nice enough to come out and talk to us. Some of the best service I've ever had in my life! We'll definitely be back.

I was introduced to this restaurant from another couple a few years ago and have been coming back ever since. At first I was not used to the food and what to expect, but now I even crave it. My favorite dishes are the lamb, spicy chicken breast, zil zil (Beef in long, thin slices), and the lentil samboosas. In tradition of east Africa meals you eat by enveloping the food in injera bread. The best part is to eat the bread that is soaked with the flavor full juices on the platter. The meat is very lean. They also have take out. I like taking friends here that have dietary restrictions because they are very respectful of that. They were able to accommodate someone in our party that has the following dietary restrictions: gluten free, lactose intolerant, no salt, and a vegan. This is true!
