In the culinary spaces of any American city, there is an over-saturation of almost every cuisine under the sun. In this scenario, authentic Ethiopian food comes as a breath of fresh air.

Selam Kitchen started by Solomon and Selamawit Abebe was originally a butcher shop that stocked meat prepared in a traditional Ethiopian style. As the shop grew in popularity they expanded to the current establishment which has a full restaurant complete with comfortable booths and flat-screen televisions.

A culinary culture that revolves around raw meat is distinctly Ethiopian. This cultural affinity is the basis for kitfo, one of the signature dishes at the Selam Kitchen. Kitfo consists of ground raw beef deeply massaged with a spiced and clarified butter called niter kibbeh. This is served with pureed collards, a cheese that is similar to ricotta and injera, a flatbread with a spongy texture.

Kitfo is just one of Selam Kitchen’s unique offerings. A few other specialties include quanta, tire siga and Goden tibs which are short ribs grilled with rosemary, garlic, and jalapenos.

Selamawit, the main chef at Selam Kitchen learned her cooking in her parents’ restaurant in Adis Ababa. In the United States, she has resolutely stayed away from self-rising flours and makes her injera bread entirely from teff flour, as it is done back home. This is not an easy task to perform on steel griddles and injera is traditionally and easiest made on earthen surfaces back in Africa.

The bar at Selam Kitchen is stocked with all the usual choices and a few traditional highlights such as honey wine. Coffee drinking is a ceremony that includes the beans roasted over charcoal at the table, then crushed, steeped and served to the customers on the basis of seniority.
