"In Germantown, Salam Cafe is open all day every day except Sunday for lunch highlights like chicken kebabs, Ethiopian platters with injera and beef stew marinated in berbere, and a handful of appetizers to hold you over. The atmosphere is lovely and the staff are friendly, a great combination for an afternoon lunch stopover." - Ernest Owens, Melissa McCart
"Open from breakfast until dinner every day but Sunday, Salam Cafe is one of the Northwest’s best destinations for Ethiopian fare, like massive platters of beef stew and rice, or more Middle Eastern offerings like falafel and hummus. Weekend breakfast specials include veggie firfir and shakshuka." - Ernest Owens
"Germantown has exactly one Ethiopian restaurant. But after one trip to Salam Cafe, you’ll know it’s the only option you need. The shop and market has warm and friendly service, lots of tables, and is relaxing enough that you’ll know everyone’s name inside by the end of the meal. Choose from a few Ethiopian stews (our favorite is the spicy stew chicken), baked salmon, tender vegetables, and a dangerously addictive loose leaf tea on your first (or 25th) visit.

"Germantown has exactly one Ethiopian restaurant. But it's the only spot you need in the area when it comes to melty cabbage, lentils, and gomen wot. All of the sides are vegan and gluten free, and so are a few of the entrees. Every time we're here, we end up drinking a bucket of Salam Cafe's loose leaf tea and introducing ourselves to the table next to us. It's just that kind of friendly, relaxed place." - candis mclean
