All change at Selam

[blondie]

Sounds good - we've often passed the Selam but never tried it, but we've read so many good reports on here that it's definitely on our list of "must try" places this year. Only a week, so many places to try, so little time....

[Katiehutchinson_1991]

yeah i agree blondie
we have also walked past it many times but never given it a try
will be doing so this year though

You had me going there for a minute with your heading, thought it had changed ownership.

This is so one of our favourite places, give it a try you won't be disappointed.

where is it please?

[tamii]

sophia, you'll find the selam if you cross the road at Tansas, and take the road to the left of the Red Lion. Its further down that street on the left hand side

[sophia]

Right, OK thanks. It doesn't sound too hard to find!

I always try turkish dishes but this year I am going to make sure I sample a few traditional turkish restaurants and dishes. Always end up goin in my favourite restaurants but have two weeks this year, so more time on my hands!

Thanks.

phew, that had me going too for a moment - no roof I can live with

[Fanny]

well you certainly grabbed our attention hahahaha
nice to know that the changes get your approval - and am sure ours too when we get there

[janden]

Just a thought.
Now that the Selam has no roof does this affect the smoking rules for this restaurant
I am a non smoker & don't fully understand the rules nowadays

Now dont be moaning about me having a fag when we meet again Den

[janden]

Mary how dare I moan when Jan is still a smoker
Will you have to leave the restaurant & stand outside to have a fag
All these women standing on street corners reminds me of something in the past

[Katiehutchinson_1991]

most of the places that are inside will tell you to sit on the table nearest the outside if you want to smoke
then they dont mind but sometimes they dont like when you smoke right inside your restaurant as it is the law and im sure that they will be cracking down on it too as well as the hassle

I hope all the restaurants will consider non smokers as well, as nothing worse than having a meal and being surrounded by smoke. having said that most of the places have fans so shouldn't be too much of a problem.

[Katiehutchinson_1991]

dont worry Molly they do all consider non smokers and im the first one to be put off my meal by someone smoking next to me
i think its really rude when other people are trying to eat
im sure you will be ok dont worry

W have been going to the Selam for the past 2 years. Fab food, wonderful hospitality an great atmosphere. turgay and his wife are great and we look foward to seeing them again this year
For all those that have not been here you must try it.
Tariq and Caroline. Icmeler here we come

The reason that the roof has been taken away from the Selam Restaurant is that the owner is trying to sell the upstairs apartment now that Cybel and her husband have vacated it and moved to their own place in the Village.
