Fine Dining Restaurants near Athens, OH

“Wow. Our meal at Salaam was one of the best I’ve had in a LONG time. We truly tasted across the menu- three appetizer sampler (hummus, tzatziki, and muhammara), vegetable coconut curry, chicken coconut curry, and chicken thighs mains, topped off by the Italian cake and gluten free chocolate torte.

Everything was fresh, flavorful, and unique enough to really exceed other flavor profiles of Mediterranean restaurants. The muhammara is a must. Everyone at the table gasped from the tastebud explosion. The curry was unbelievably unique- all the flavors and textures played out so well.

Every dish we had was 10/10. I don’t rate that lightly. It was good to the point we joked about eating there again tonight.

I did take off some points for service. Our individual server was fine, but some employees were yelling at each other in the dining room right behind our table (older woman to young bus boy) that resulted in slamming glasses/plates/bus tray, making for a loud and awkward experience.“

“We stopped for an early dinner but ate in the bar since the dining room didn't open until 5. The young lady tending the bar was also our server. She was very attentive and did her best to accommodate our requests. It was disappointing that with the oysters unavailable that mussels couldn't be substituted since the dining room wasn't open yet.
The chicken wings were good, we'd add the suggestion that a dry rub option would be nice.“

“Fresh delicious and balanced!“
