Selam Restaurant and Café 🇪🇹

Doro Wat

Slow-braised chicken drumstick in a deep berbere-spiced red sauce, anchored by a hard-boiled egg that absorbs the heat of the stew

Vegetarian Combo (Fasting Platter)

A colorful arrangement of misir wat, gomen, shiro, and seasonal vegetable sides over a wide injera — the safest way to sample the full range of the kitchen

Kitfo

Ethiopian-style seasoned beef tartare mixed with mitmita and spiced butter, served raw or lightly cooked — rich, warming, and not for the faint-hearted

Tibs

Sautéed beef or lamb with jalapeño, rosemary, and onions — a drier, more textured counterpart to the saucy wats

Misir Wat

Red lentil stew cooked down with berbere into a thick, earthy paste — the backbone of any Ethiopian vegetarian spread

Shiro

Smooth, silky chickpea flour stew with a mild heat — comforting and often underrated next to the flashier wats

Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony

Freshly roasted and brewed Ethiopian coffee served in small cups with incense — a ritual worth slowing down for if the café side is offering it
