I ate at selam cafe for the second time this evening and again, the food did not disapoint! We ordered an array of different meat and vegetarian dishes including Goden tibs (lamb ribs) a traditional dish of minced lamb offal and meat (Dulet) a spicy red lentil dish (misir wot) and a very tasy spinach dish (Gomen Wot). Most dishes come served with the traditional injera pancakes, which are crumpet like in texture, slightly sour and perfect accompanied with the delicious home cooked food on offer. Another must have is the previously mentioned honey wine, very sweet and utterly delicious, smell of pure liquid honey. The hot spiced tea is also lovely. I am saving the coffee ceremony for my next visit. The informal, no frills laid back atmosphere makes for a perfect easy destination for a delicious and good value meal.

Visited the cafe recently - really fantastic stuff. Been to a couple of Eritrean places in London and this is up there - really authentic food, good for veggies and reasonably priced. Merseyside Eroitrean's should get behind it, and locals (like me) too

I recently visited this gem on Smithdown Road and was blown away, I had read some good reviews about the place, but upon arrival, the place was empty (which was such a shame). I chose off the Vegetarian / vegan menu, a selection of vegetarian dishes served on injera bread. The owner explained Eritrean cuisine and offered me a free sample of Honey Wine. The food was very clean and fresh and the owner explained the coffee ritual which I will certainly try next time I am there. Please promote this place and visit it.

A lovely experience, run by Selam who cooks everything fresh and all very ethnic; simple, good food that is different from anything else you'll have had before. Food all served on Njeera (sour dough pancakes) and eaten by hand; a lovely peaceful coffee ritual and Selam a lovely warm welcoming woman; inexpensive too

I have tried a variety of the dishes at Selam Cafe and they have all been delicious! The freshly cooked injera are a real treat with the different spiced sauces. Good selection of vegetarian and vegan food. The coffee ceremony is a must, the coffee is made from scratch in front of you and tastes amazing. This place is well worth a visit.

Exciting new cuisine. Food very tasty, interesting spices used. Would recommend the Eritrean coffee ceremony, the beans are freshly roasted in front of you.
