My favorite in the bay.
Very delicious lamb, and they gave me a big portion for one person that came out to $22! A good amount of outdoor seating by the street.

Selam restaurant is a small, cozy Eritrean spot that seems to bring the community together. The food is consistently good, home-cooked tasting, and reasonably priced. The staff is friendly, and the shiro dish, creamy and delicious, is highly recommended. Plus, they offer gluten-free injera for those with dietary restrictions. Recent reviews highlight the great flavor of dishes like the beef tibs and lamb/beef spicy tibs. Customers praise the friendly service, fun atmosphere, and the delicious smell of the food, which even attracted compliments from passersby. Many guests enjoy the late-hour service and leave eager to return for more of the flavorful meals.
