Restaurant Salaam

Restaurant Salaam offers fine world cuisine, beers and wines in an exotic yet family-friendly atmosphere at 21 W. Washington Street in Athens, Ohio.

We accept reservations for parties of five or more; call 740-594-3800. 

Our eclectic menu includes traditional and traditionally-inspired dishes from the Middle East, the Mediterranean, the Balkans, North Africa, Thailand, India and Pakistan.

Our dairy products, eggs, and much of our produce are locally raised; we bake.. our bread daily and prepare all our salad dressings, our falafel, our yogurt, and most of our desserts in-house at our family-owned restaurant. We have many vegetarian and vegan dishes on the menu, and also feature lamb, chicken, beef, and sustainably-harvested seafood.

There's always something at Restaurant Salaam for every budget... from our Vegan Harira (a hearty lentil and vegetable stew, served with our house-made bread... a great healthy meal for 5 bucks) to Seared Duck Breast with Spicy Mango Chutney for a celebratory dinner.

Some of our specials are "spicy hot" but many of the items on our menu will appeal to those who want more mildly-spiced dishes, or who just want to enjoy the excellent char-grilled steak cuts we feature in our lamb and beef kabobs.
