Restaurant Salaam

Saturday between Good Friday and Easter Sunday (mediocre Saturday?) is always slow at the restaurant but if you've got a hankering for a Falafel Salad Bowl, or salmon pasta with a creamy mushroom sauce, or Beef Bourguignon... or a big bowl of creamy Cauliflower Tahini Soup.... come on in this evening!

It's 6:10 pm on Sat Dec 13, and getting pretty snowy out there. We're going to close up so staff can get home safely. See you next week!
