Salima Specialties

The Best Restaurants in Skyway, Washington | Eater Seattle

"Tucked into a strip mall plaza across from Grocery Outlet, this place is, according to owners Salima and Asari Mohamath, the only restaurant serving Cham cuisine in the United States. Cham cooking is halal and blends South Asian curry spices with Southeast Asian essentials like fish sauce, chili, and lemongrass; best sellers include oxtail soup, chicken satay, beef lemongrass skewers, and roti canai. The grilled chicken satay arrives succulent and juicy from a marinade of lemongrass, turmeric, and galangal, with dipping sauces of fresh peanuts and mild spices that marry beautifully with the meat. Roti canai is soft and buttery with a crispy exterior, its signature flaky layers formed by repeated stretching and folding." - Hong Ta
