September 25, 2024Selam Restaurant is a cozy gem in West Oakland that captures the essence of Eritrean dishes beautifully. 🌍✨ The beef tibsi (extra spicy) was a standout, bursting with flavor - definitely my go-to!
While the bread didn’t quite hit the mark for my taste, the generous veggie combo left my taste buds dancing. The owners are incredibly kind, making you feel like part of the family every visit.
Just a heads-up, if you prefer individual plates rather than family-style, let them know ahead of time! Overall, a delightful experience worth trying... 🍽️
