Cafe Selam is a family-run Ethiopian restaurant in Seattle, offering authentic and delicious food with friendly service. Known as a hidden tiny restaurant tucked along the street, it has become a popular spot for visitors who enjoy dishes like ful, qatenqa, and mango juice. The warm and welcoming team provides healthy options, including gluten-free injera and an explicitly vegan section. The vegetarian combination injera with lentils, cabbage, spinach, and spices features soft, fluffy, spongy injera that pairs perfectly with flavorful dishes. Guests enjoy the Vegetarian Combination, Doro Wat, vegan platter, foul, and scrambled eggs. Portions are massive, and the breads are very fresh. The interiors are simple and cozy, with grape vines and Seattle's breezy weather adding to the charm. Overall, Cafe Selam is highly recommended for its authentic food, friendly service, and inviting atmosphere.
