Selam Restaurant and Cafe

Not sure how they got this rate. But the place has so many problems going on which they never been fixed. - No Ac inside (bring your own). the place is extremely hot and you can’t enjoy food there. They never turned AC on at all. - no toilet papers, (none operative). - dirty background by the cashier food area. All the cups, coffee areas and so on. - every time they serve, there are no napkins provided even when you ask sometimes they say they don’t have it. - tables usually dirty from the previous customers, they don’t clean it right away. - flies all over. - outside sanitizer never works terrible. I don’t recommend this place, may be only to go. I hope owner will improve it all.

Food - Excellent Food!! Very flavorful. The lentils, greens, salads all very so simple yet elegant. Service - Excellent. Friendly owner/staff. They checked in on us. Ordered the vegetarian combo and mushroom tibs for 3 people. It was sufficient and satisfying from a quantity standpoint. Note to other customers - As a sign of respect, always finish the food you've ordered.

Perhaps the cheapest Ethiopian restaurant in San Jose (close to Santana Row) yet the best in San Jose in my opinion. I have visited many Ethiopian restaurants in San Jose and I found the food here to be more flavorful. I ordered the vegetable combination and it was fantastic.
