Definitely one of the best Ethiopian restaurants in Toronto. The portion sizes were generous and the food was amazing. The “Her Majesty” (Dorro Wat) was one of the best I’ve tasted. Highly recommend Selam.

Cozy little Ethiopian restaurant in Toronto. Great atmosphere which is true to Ethiopian heritage and culture. They burn incenses which smell heavenly and make the restaurant smells so incredible. The food is great. Some items are better than others but overall very good quality food. I experienced many new flavours here. Portions are above average. Injera is fresh and delicious. Service was amazing. Rosa took care of our table and gave us her recommendations and we enjoyed them all. My favourite was her Majesty, and also the appetizer with clarified herb butter and injera which was spicy and tasty. Overall a great experience and as a first timer in Ethiopian cuisine, I enjoyed it all. Don’t forget to order their delicious coffee which comes with popcorn. You need to have 3 coffee cups to abide by traditional Ethiopian culture as the third cup brings prosperity to your life. Just a fun thing I learnt. Enjoy.

This was my first time trying Ethiopian food. We tried the shiro dip to start and then ordered the Selam platter with okra, beet/potato and hamli collard greens. While everything was flavourful, I found the flavour of the injera to be off putting (just my opinion). There are so many other items I look forward to trying, and will definitely be back.

Love this Ethiopian place! When we order take out, it's always a great deal. When we eat in the vibes are fantastic. The service is always a little spotty, but the food is worth it!

We ordered an appetizer of collard greens because we didn’t include that option on our platter. When the platter came, there were the collard greens. We enjoyed our meal, but it would’ve been perfect if we received what we ordered. The ambiance was excellent - spacious seating and not too loud for a conversation.
