Selam - Carte

Classic, delicious, and authentic Ethiopian food with excellent service and good prices. If you are looking for something new to try (or you already like Ethiopian food) I highly recommend Selam.

Great ethopian food, sometimes you need something different. Here you can eat with your hands and the wine is great too. The service is great and she can also speak english. You dont even have to wait long for the food.

Super friendly staff, helpful. The food was amazing and quick even though it's ethiopian Food which usually takes longer. The owner herself served us! The atmosphere was really cozy and comfortable. I felt at home It was clean! Voir le carte

My first proper experience of Ethiopian food and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would recommend getting the mixed platter. I did not do this and regretted it. Also get yourself an Ethiopian beer and a moka of coffee to finish with. Friendly staff. Would probably be a regular customer if only I lived in Cologne...

This is a nice restaurant where you can enjoyed Ethiopian kitchen. Food is very good. Typical Ethiopian dishes are elaborated with vegetables or meat with tortillas or crêp to pick up with your hands. In general food is a little bit spicy as they have several condiments. We enjoyed the food. I can recommend you this restaurant.

We were in the area and decided to stop in and give it a try. Me and my friends have all had Ethiopian before, but it has been awhile, so the waitress just brought us a large platter for 4, it was delicious. I highly recommend just getting a large platter if you are not a picky eater and want to try a bit of everything. They will make it to your specific spice preference. Additionally, the beer was quite good and went very well with the meal. I would definitely eat here again. Voir le carte

We wished to make some culinary experience and to avoid any German standard like schnitzel...Based on all tips we found on trip advisor we decided to try this surprising Ethiopian restaurant. To be sure to have a global overview, we decided to take the samplings as starters and main courses. Everything was very tasty, prices maybe a little expensive for Germany, drinks like wine very classical (South African merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon) and affordable. Very friendly service and explanations but unfortunately, there s only one waitress for the whole restaurant which can cause some additional waiting times in the rush hour.

Selam was one of those places towards which the expectations were difficult to assemble as we have never had any African food before. It seems that the cuisine is Ethiopian-oriented and vegetarian as well as beef main dishes are offered. Not to mention starters and a narrower selection of lamb and chicken dishes. What we found very nice was a possibility to select mixed plates, consisting of moderate amounts of various dishes - great for tasting and exchanging. Our orders were served on fluffy and dark kind of pancakes and were meant to be consumed by hand. All in all, the food is tasty, unique and definitely worth a try. Book a table in advance - this is quite a popular destination.

The restaurant is a little off the beaten path - but it is worth the effort. Very close to the main shopping area in Ehrenfeld - and there is a public parking area just next to the restaurant. I just ate there at Selam with a party of four people - and we shared a vegetarian mixed platter. There was a wide variety of tastes and textures. The portions were more than generous at a very fair price. The waitress (who was also the owner) told us that it was her mother doing the cooking. She spoke excellent English - and German of course - and was a wonderful hostess. The seating was comfortable and the vibe very comfortable and classy - with tasteful African decorations. I will be going there aga... Voir le carte
