"Selam, a longtime Minnehaha Avenue coffee shop, blossomed into a full-service restaurant not long after the onset of the pandemic. Owners Belai Mergin and Rahel serve fine samosas — crispy on the outside; steaming when they’re cracked open — alongside tender lamb awaze tibs; generous vegetarian platters; kifto; and rich, fiery doro wot. Coffee remains a standout here." - Justine Jones, Ali Elabbady
