What User likes about Selam And Cafe:
Food Excellent food!! Very tasteful. The lenses, greens, salads all very simple and elegant. Service Excellent. Friendly owner. They checked us. Ordered the vegetarian combo and mushroom Tibs for 3 persons. It was sufficient and satisfactory from a quantitative point of view.
