The most important thing to me is how the restaurant handles a case when there is a miss understanding - dissatisfaction, which happened in this visit and was handled with care and courtesy. This has been my 5th or 6th time and I will be back for more! Wonderful authentic DELICIOUS Ethiopian food, if you never tried don’t miss out on a beautiful experience!

Title: Authentic Ethiopian & Eritrean Cuisine Gem in Orlando!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Had an amazing family celebration here! The place is cozy with lovely traditional art. It was our first time trying Ethiopian & Eritrean food, and we were blown away! The owner, Abraham, was super friendly and taught us about their unique wine selection. We loved the Honey Wine!The food... incredible! The samosas were a hit, so we ordered double. The Selam Meat and Veggie Combo was delicious and filling, enough for our family of four. Everyone's favorite was the Injera bread!!!! Yes! Love, love, love it!!! Even though we were stuffed, we couldn't resist the homemade Baklava, which was a sweet treat!The service is top-notch! The staff, welcoming and attentive. They even packed some Baklava for us to take home (of course we paid for it :) The vibe was relaxed and peaceful, making our dining experience even better. This place offers authentic, well-prepared food at reasonable prices. A must-visit for anyone looking for a delicious and soul-satisfying meal!We enjoyed ourselves beyond measure that we forgot to take pictures of everything! :) Looking forward to our next visit! Thanks Selam Cuisine!! 10 Starz!!!---

You won't find a place with better samosas, they were baked to perfection with a thin, crunchy crust and densely packed with filling (choose from lentils, beef or chicken). I also recommend their coffee, it's very strong but not overpowering

I recently traveled forty minutes to dine at Selam and unfortunately, my experience while overall pleasant left much to be desired. Food was above average. The doro wat is one of the best I have amongst many. The tibs were ok- with slight toughness, nothing to rave about.One glaring issue was the discrepancy between the prices listed on the wine list and what we were actually charged. Despite the printed price indicating $30 for the Enat Tej, we were billed $40 for a bottle that was a different brand switched on us without telling us about the higher price.Adding to the disappointment was the lack of transparency and customer service. When questioned about the price difference, the waitress was dismissive and only offered a belated acknowledgment with an "oops" but failed to provide any resolution or compensation for the oversight. Overall, this experience left a sour taste and was something that mired an otherwise decent experience.

Absolutely perfect!They had wonderful selections for everyone. My picky daughter enjoyed chicken nuggets and my husband loves the lamb while I had the best vegan combo dish. The side of mushrooms was the perfect addition and the honey wine was fabulous. My daughter devoured the best chocolate cake she has even tasted and my husband and I spilt a warm, moist, most delicious baklava ever!

Wow, one of the most unique experience I’ve ever had with trying one country’s food in a foreign place.Personally, this was maybe my four-time experiencing food from Africa. It is not something I am very used to, but I want to say that there is so much to learn from African food and it’s just delicious. My experience here was pretty similar to my other experience with African food just delicious pricing And unforgettableYou have to be ready to eat a lot of meat and strong flavors. If you’re willing to try most of the dishes here in the menu which they were really delicious and I highly suggest them you also need to have an open mind if you don’t come from this cuisine because the flavors are very different from the traditional north American/Mediterranean food or the Asian cuisine
My Wife and I were referred to Selam by a good friend and I'm so glad we went! From the door, we were greeted with a huge welcoming smile and immediate friendliness. Malis took extra special care of us. She was very patient as this was our first time visiting an Ethiopian and Eritrean restaurant. After finishing our appetizers and main course, the Owner of the establishment came and greeted us with much love and thanked us for coming. The atmosphere is peacefully enjoyable and the ambiance is perfect and I haven't even mentioned the food yet! The cuisine is fabulous from the coffee to the turmeric, garlic and ginger-rich dishes. The portions are big so one of the best parts is, we can enjoy our leftovers later. Overall, this was a 5-star experience for us all the way around and we are huge foodies. They have meals for meat-eaters, vegan and vegetarians alike so don't hesitate to visit this wonderful gem of a restaurant, just minutes away from Sea World in Orlando.

Listen, I didn’t even get to dine in. I was simply ordering pick up to go, but they were so prompt with my order when I arrive my food was just coming out on time as towed to me on the phone and walking in I was welcomed I was asked if I wanted a beverage while waiting they made sure that all utensils and everything was in the bag. The food was immaculate. I will definitely be back And this time I just may sit outside on the patio area that was very lovely and enjoy a meal there. They were so kind. The food was so amazing. The restaurant is beautiful. I love the sense of culture that I got in when I walked in this is definitely a 10 out 10
