Selam
is
one
of
the
very
best
Ethiopian
restaurants
that
we've
ever
experienced.
That
is
not
praise
we
give
out
lightly,
as
my
wife
and
I
have
been
eating
Ethiopian
food
on
a
regular
basis
for
going
on
30
years
and
across
multiple
cities
where
we've
lived
or
visited
including
Seattle,
where
the
Ethiopian
restaurant
options
are
extremely
diverse.
Having
visited
a
few
times
we
have
been
pleased
to
discover
that
the
quality
remains
consistently
very
high.
The
chicken,
beef
and
lamb
used
are
of
exceptionally
high
quality--none
of
the
grisly
stuff
that
we
have
often
experienced
in
Ethiopian
restaurants--and
from
talking
with
Selam
(hostess
and
daughter
of
the
cook),
we
learned
that
the
restaurant
is
very
picky
about
where
they
obtain
their
ingredients,
importing
the
key
spices
directly
from
established
sources
in
Addis
Ababa.
Selam
herself
is
extremely
considerate
and
attentive.
Our
discussions
with
Selam
about
the
food,
the
music
and
life
in
Germany
and
the
US
(where
she
developed
fluency
in
English)
have
made
our
visits
a
special
pleasure.
Now
that
we
live
in
Cologne,
we
look
forward
to
eating
here
often!
