We had a large group booking of 16 people last night for a friend’s birthday party. The staff were really accomodating and their service went above and beyond for us. They also sang a birthday song which lightened the mood even more. We all ordered the classic banquet and the food was amazing. The cooks made sure the food was sent out in a timely manner and appropriate time so that the food was able to be enjoyed to it’s fullest. I’d recommend Salma and will be coming again in the future. Thank you to the Salma team for an amazing dinner.

Four of us went along on a Tuesday night and honestly, the food was brilliant. The lovely gentleman who runs the restaurant has cooked all over the Gulf and Middle East. Excellent food, location and warm, friendly service from the ladies who looked after us. Highly recommend

Absolutely fantastic! The quality exceeded my expectations in every way. The service was fast, friendly, and professional, and the attention to detail really shows. I’m extremely satisfied with my purchase and will definitely come back again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch quality and great customer service!

Lovely ambient in the restaurant but that is all it can offer. Maybe it has had a bad day or inexperienced staff, but I would say the experience is worse than any take-away place. First, it took ages for the waitress to notice me and take order. Then with my low expectation and after 20-minutes wait, I have to check where is my dish (I only ordered one dish MOUSSAKA as I am dining by myself) and then the waitress told me that she ordered the wrong dish. Ok, she walked away and then never came back. What the ....??? Then finally the precious one dish came (this is after about 35 minutes), it looks like moussaka and I took a bit, delicious. Yet it is less than lukewarm. I have to send the dish back and they probably heated in the microwave. I was bitterly disappointed with the entire experience and most importantly it ruined my Sunday afternoon mood. I know, I am a bit precious at this point. So if you are looking for a dine-in restaurant with good service, I would not recommend it.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and an incredibly positive atmosphere. The service was impeccable, with the staff making sure every detail was taken care of while maintaining a friendly and welcoming attitude. The food was truly exceptional—each dish reminded me of the high-quality flavors I’ve enjoyed in five-star hotels in Dubai and Kuwait. The ingredients were fresh, the flavors authentic, and the presentation top-notch. Every bite reflected the passion and expertise of Chef Wael, who is not only a master of Middle Eastern cuisine but also a pleasure to chat with. His experience shines through in every dish, delivering a perfect balance of taste and tradition. Thank you for a fantastic dining experience! I will definitely be coming back again.
