Salaama…read moreis a market and restaurant, so you enter through the market entrance and then take a left turn to eat in the restaurant. The menu is small, with just five choices of entree for dinner. But we would have tried everything (goat, beef, chicken, salmon)! They were out of the goat, so we tried the beef stew/suqaar and the salmon. Both were served with rice with dried fruits and veggies and a side salad. Everything was very flavorful and delicious. We enjoyed both salmon and beef. I also tried the Somali tea (very sweet, but delicious). The restaurant isn't fancy, but it felt cozy and homey inside. The whole experience was really great. This might have been my first time eating Somali food (I'm not sure?), but my experience at Salaama will have me looking for more!

A couple of months ago, while using foursquare to check into the McDonald's on Covington Pike, I…read moresaw Salaama Market & Restaurant listed among the choices to check-in to. To satisfy my curiosity, I clicked the web link to see what kind of restaurant it was. Salaama is a convenience store, meat market, apparel shop and restaurant all combined as one, specializing in Somali culture. With this being in part an African restaurant, I felt compelled to try it out to see how it compared to similar restaurants I've visited. During my first visit, I decided to go with the Suqaar, a Somali Beef Stew. The entrée, which includes sides of spinach (which tasted like collard greens) and cabbage, consists of beef, carrots and onions. The stew is cooked in boiling water until everything is tender. I'm not sure what spices are used in this, but I detected a bit of garlic in it. If the primary ingredients used in this Suqaar dish are the same as what I researched on Google, they are garlic, cumin, cilantro and chicken bouillon cubes. The taste of the Suqaar is mildly spicy and similar to Yebeg Tibes, a lamb dish that I had at Abyssinia. In my opinion, the Suqaar is a really good dish that I thoroughly enjoyed. The Suqaar also comes with a plate of rice, which in quantity is more than the entrée. The rice is topped with corn, carrots, green peppers, raisins, green beans and other vegetables. In all, this medley of veggies produces a spicy sweet flavor that meshes well with the Suqaar. In terms of quantity, the rice mix by itself is enough for two people. With the main entrée and a salad thrown in, the meal is overwhelming for one person. I got as far as the salad and a small portion of both the Suqaar and rice mix before having to stop. I got the rest of it to-go and had it for dinner and the next day's lunch. The entire meal, that also includes a couple of bananas, cost $10. Outside of a buffet, you'll be hard pressed to get that much food at that price. For my second visit, I went to Salaama for breakfast to see what it was like. Although Salaama offers traditional menu items like egg omelets and pancakes, I decided to stick with the Somali theme and chose the Goat Liver plate. At $7.99, I assumed that the portion would be smaller than the Suqaar that I had earlier, but I was wrong. My plate, which initially was packaged as a to-go order, was almost as huge as the Suqaar. It had almost the same components as the Suqaar, with the goat liver substituting for the beef stew. I knew that I wasn't going to finish it, so I kept my to-go box nearby for leftovers. When my server saw that I intended to dine in the restaurant, she brought me a couple of plates for both the main entrée and side salad. Speaking of my server, she was very helpful in educating me about my order and was very attentive to my needs. This is totally the opposite of what I experienced at the recently closed Gereny, whose customer service was awful. Based on the customer service alone, Salaama gets high marks for excellence. As for the entrée itself, it was good although it lacked the spiciness that the Suqaar had. The goat liver didn't taste any different from what I've had from beef, which was surprising. Based on past experiences, I assumed that there would be a difference between the two types of meat. After thinking about it, I realized that both cattle and goats have the same diet, which mostly consists of grass and other plants. That said, the livers of both species should taste the same if they are processing the same foods. I guess I can chalk this up as a "duh" moment. The rice and other vegetables that accompanied the goat liver tastes pretty much the same as what I had with the Suqaar so I won't go into detail about it. Because I ordered it as a breakfast entrée, I could have chosen bread over the rice that might have reduced the entree's size. I decided not to do it when my server told me the bread was the plain white slices and not Injera (I know, Injera is Ethiopian). Along with my meal, I got a small cup of green pepper sauce that had a strong onion flavor. After trying a small sample, I decided against using it while at the restaurant but will indulge in it later. The side salad wasn't any different from my first visit, which combined with the other "sides" bolstered the goat liver that I came to enjoy. In all, my two experiences at Salaama Market & Restaurant were great. The meals were delicious and the people serving it were friendly and welcoming. The restaurant/market is off the beaten path both figuratively and literally, but I hope more people learn of this place and patronize it. It is businesses like Salaama that makes Memphis diverse and a great place to live. I hope that Salaama has a lot of success in the future.

They have changed the bread on the McAlisters club sandwich to a very thin style and are using less meat and other fillings. The sandwich is nothing like it used to be at all. Go back to using a decent bread to improve what used to be a great sandwich. Also, we used to brag about how great the sweet tea was, but recently it's been the worst part of our meal. It's very weak, almost water and it's hardly sweet at all. You need to go back to making the tea like you used to. Actually, install a drink station like the one in Wolfchase, it's always perfect. Overall, they make this location look bad on all accounts, we've never had a bad experience at Wolfchase. Please make improvements so we can enjoy the Bartlett location again.
