We found this restaurant on trip advisor. It didn’t disappoint. We started with the carrot and ginger soup and the red pepper soup. Both were excellent. We had the specials: Chicken Curry and Lamb Meatball curry. Both were scrumptious and filling. We had dessert too! Baklava and the chocolate torte. You get a very small piece of baklava. It was very good, but you could tell it was probably frozen. The torte was good, but could use more raspberry sauce. Highly recommend this restaurant

Absolutely 💯 the best place to eat in town or anywhere for that matter! Highly recommend! We are from Virginia and we are going to make sure to come back! Servers are fantastic, super friendly, and attentive. We were here for the weekend and ate here twice. Thank you Keri!

Thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant during Ohio University's 2023 Homecoming with a friend. It's very friendly & comfortable. The service was good and the food was perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious, and worth every penny. We returned in September of 2024, bringing 3 more friends who were also attending Homecoming. Again, praise was unanimous but among 5 diners this time. I wish Salaam could be cloned in my city.

Finally got the chance to dine in at one of highest rated restaurants in the town. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We ordered lamb chops, lamb shawarma and chicken wrap. Lamb chops were okayish but the shawarma and chicken wrap were really good. In desserts , we were split between chocolate forte and tiramisu. We went for chocolate forte and it was delicious. I would recommend this place if you are in town.

Awesome food and always great service. One of the few places in Athens you can go to for a special meal and the service is always super kind and prompt. Never left waiting here.

Every time I enter the door I'm greeted with smiling faces and wonderful service, with eclectic food options. Been eating here for 10 years. Great menu selection and specials!
Food was great . Service was a bit slow for my liking but was definitely a class act. Desert was amazing . Not often do I find a true chocolate torte . The tiramisu was great also .
Lamb chops are GREAT! Best restaurant in Ohio! I eat here every time I am in Athens.

Gorgeous comfortable place with a charming staff that serves fabulous food. We had coconut chicken curry, iced peppermint tea and a roast beet salad that was so big it served 3 people. Great for gluten free folks and family friendly, too!

Came in at 8:30PM and they were wonderful enough to accommodate! Beautiful, beautiful food and service. We had their weekly special spicy seafood pasta (divine) and their grilled chicken entree. They brought out freshly baked bread with olives and rosemary-pepper infused olive oil. Finished off the meal with tiramisu (divine). Would come again and again - birthdays, anniversaries and everything in between!

Beautiful decorations and atmosphere! There was so much care taken when it came to decorating this restaurant. The food was spectacular. The special tonight include seafood lasagna, it was delicious! Came with vegetables and bread. Split the tiramisu and baklava. The tiramisu was to die for! Some of the best I’ve had. And the service was wonderful, our waitress was very attentive. Water and teas were frequently refilled. One other minor detail noticed was in the restroom, there was a little toilet seat and step stool for toddlers which you don’t see many places! It was a kind gesture!
