Authentic Ethiopian Flavors Austin
What our guests are saying
Middle eastern here trying Ethiopian food for the first time. It’s an easy 10/10. Absolutely delicious. Very spicy though, ask for less spicy if you can’t handle it.

5/5 – A must-try hidden gem! This was my third time at Saleem, and each time feels like discovering it all over again. The sizzling anjera, the perfectly spiced veggies, the rich and flavorful dips—it’s a full sensory experience. The smell of the food hits you before you even sit down, and the traditional Ethiopian coffee seals the whole moment. The owner cooks everything himself with so much care and passion, and you can taste it in every bite. He’s just now expanding the restaurant, and it deserves all the love. Warm, welcoming, and unforgettable. Don’t sleep on this place—it’s worth it!

The store has big bags of berbere and shuro, plus all the traditional spices. They even have my favorite Ethiopian and Eritrean butter, which I love.
