About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Innovative
Whether grilled on a kebab, baked in a meat pie, or mixed with pine nuts and bulghur wheat as kibbeh, lamb is the cornerstone of the cuisine at Salam Café, where it excels in all its iterations. The menu is primarily Syrian and Lebanese, a sampling of which can be ordered as Maza, a complete meal of appetizers: standards like tabbouleh and falafel along with less traveled fare like white Syrian cheese and sfeeha, tasty pita pizza topped with cheese, vegetables, or ground lamb.

    I still love this place and have recommended it, to friends, and on Open Table. Here are some caveats, based on a recent visit: 1. the flat bread can be too dry and crisp (although the restaurant will bring more bread, this takes time. 2. One of us asked for olive oil for the flat bread, and the oil did not taste fresh. 3. The restaurant seems to have a small staff, so customers should plan accordingly. When the restaurant is more than half full, it can take a while even to get the main course, appetizers, or a glass of wine. (Plan accordingly. Going early helps.) Still, the 3 of us agreed that the food was worth waiting for. The restaurant was mostly quiet.

    We love Turkish food, and Salam has Turkish and several other Middle Eastern and North African cuisines on their menu. The variations are great for exploring new tastes and dishes not found elsewhere. The value and service are great.

    This was ou r third visit to Salam, and they never disappoint. The food was great as usual, and ambience was awesome as well. It is always a pleasure to be able to sit and not have to yell at the rest of your party at the table. Always a pleasure to visit Salam.

    Just an update to my last review. This time the flatbread was perfect.

    I was at Salam twice last week, both times it was quiet, which my friends and I greatly appreciated. The couscous royale, which I ate on the first visit, is spectacular, and although I'd wanted to try something else on the second visit, I'd been dreaming about that couscous and couldn't stop myself from ordering again. The others loved their meals, too. The pita is a little tough by the time it is served, but that's a minor complaint given the overall quality of Salam's food. If you read my reviews, you may wonder about my high ratings: I choose my restaurants carefully, for their food, service, and sound level (I like quiet),

    We love Turkish food, and decided to try Salam's fusion of Syrian & Morrocan food. Very interesting and creative dishes in a nice space with Middle Eastern decor. Dishes were large portions and each was excellent taste. Will do this again and often.

    I truly enjoyed my experience here. The restaurant is spacious yet cozy, the food was wonderful and the servers were lovely. Pita bread was a little stale but that is my only complaint and not a deterrent at all. I will visit again and often as there is so many amazing things on the menu and I won't rest until I've tried them all! Highly recommended. :)

    Salam has been around for a while, and it hasn't changed much, so it can seem a little dated, but it sustains itself as a very solid restaurant. The menu is long and the food is good. Service is unobtrusive and, well, serviceable. It's a very fine thing to have Salam in the neighborhood

    We enjoyed the generous portions and tasty Syrian food here with straightforward, direct service. The salad with cucumber, tomatoes and olives was exceptionally good and the yellow curry with potatoes and chicken just spicy enough. My spouse loved their merguez sausages (the best he's had). We will return!
