Think of Selam as the Cheers of Ethiopian restaurants. They pride themselves on their "everybody knows your name" type atmosphere, which has attracted a strong following of regulars. On Friday and Saturday nights Selam features live House DJs with a modern disco flair. Overall it’s a small cozy joint where you can take in a little Bob Marley, a few drinks and some fine Ethiopian cuisine.
