I really enjoyed my experience here. The restaurant was clean and the food was fresh, tasty, and well prepared. The service was friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. You can tell they care about the quality of both the food and the service.

The server was extremely helpful though, and provided me with additional injera (bread). She also told me that next time I could order it with less spice.
I took a coffee to go afterwards and it was amazing.
Important note: Despite the description in this app, I don’t believe reservations are required.

The doro wat is savory and perfectly spiced, while the vegetable sides are always varied and equally as delicious. Many customers return often, sharing platters and enjoying the generous portions that can easily feed more than one person. The food is fresh, tasty, and well prepared. The restaurant is clean and the service is friendly and attentive. Whether dining in or ordering takeout, Shalom is a must-try for both fans of Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine and newcomers alike.
