What Michael Bridges likes about Selam:
Absolutely wonderful food! My nephew and I stopped by for dinner before attending a 9pm set at Twins Jazz. We ate at the bar watched a little soccer and chatted with the bartender who was very friendly. She explained each dish and took our picture. I had the combination platter with chicken and my nephew had the vegetarian combination platter. The servings were both delicious and filling. If you want some really good... View all feedback.
