Selamta Ethiopian Restaurant and Bar

This is our first time with Ethiopian food. I'm still adjusting to the taste. I ordered Tibs and asa kotelet. The tibs (spicy sautéed beef) is really good. The injera (sour bread) is too sour to eat it plain, you have to balance it with the beef, the sauce was too spicy for me (just use a little bit if you can't handle spicy food) overall experience was great.

The food here is fantastic and they have dishes not on the menus of other Ethiopian restaurants in the area. Service is friendly and efficient, with no unnecessary interactions. The atmosphere is very casual and relaxed; if you want to sit and relax a bit, you'll feel no pressure to rush off.

This is a restaurant I could eat at every day for the rest of my life. I wouldn’t hesitate if the opportunity were available to me. I have in three trips experienced the top five meals of my lifetime, two of which now hold the #1 and #2 position. I can hardly find the proper adjectives and depth of quality and value that my meals here have brought to my life. Upon my second visit (I had the beef tibs the first time around) I ordered Qey Wat and the veggie combo, I was moved to tears. I ate alone each time and the tears were primarily motivated by the overwhelming wish that I could share such exotic delight with a loved one friend or otherwise. I have eaten a wide variety of foods throughout my near four decades of culinary experience and I wouldn’t recommend any other choice in the whole world more highly than this combination of flavors and textures. Please do yourself a lifetime experience of ordering the Qey Wat and veggie combo, also enjoy a glass of tej. I’m deeply grateful for my experience and I will take every future opportunity I have to visit this blessing to earth and people.

This was a great place to do a double date. Delicious food, large portions, and a good cohort of native ethiopians enjoying the atmosphere made this a wonderful experience. I highly recommend.

What an incredible meal! I think the awaze tibs were some of the best Ethiopian dishes I've ever had. Don't miss out on the vegetarian combination platter. The portion sizes were huge and well worth the price. My girlfriend and I ordered three dishes to share and had a ton leftover to take home.

Nice restaurant. Never had Ethiopian food before. Very delicious.

Honestly one of the best tasting Ethiopian places I’ve been to. So much flavor and they actually have fresh fruit juices which is game changer for me. Good portion sizes. I do wish they had a bit better communication as I wanted veggies with the meat combo but never was told how much that would be until I got my bill. Other than that, it was great.

If you haven't ever had Ethiopian food, now is the time to try it!First of all, I LOVE how veggie friendly and gluten-free friendly they are! All the injera is gluten free (some places use wheat as a filler. Selamta says theirs is all Teff). The veggie combo is enough for 2-3 people to share, or three meals for just me! They absolutely don't skimp on the injera or the meal itself. And it's all SO GOOD. It doesn't feel oily or heavy, just filling and delicious. So flavorful. And so much variety: carrots and potatoes, a couple types of lentils, collard greens, split peas (my favorite), beets, and a couple more I'm not remembering. Each one has its own flavor profile and texture. Do yourself a favor and try Ethiopian food! Make sure you order a honey wine with it.
