An art-filled bar and restaurant in Westlands with a tree at its heart and a garden terrace.
Beit é Selam is a bar and restaurant on Maua Close in Westlands, known for an interior that feels like a gallery of African art, history and heritage, built around a striking tree centrepiece, with an outdoor terrace for cocktails. The kitchen roams the continent and beyond, with plates like seafood jollof rice, a Moroccan lamb burger, corn ribs and dips with pita, and the bar is a big part of the draw. Music and a lively crowd make it a late-night favourite from Thursday to Saturday.
"I had the Seafood Jolof rice dish and it was amazing! The music, ambience, the barmen, the interior design pieces are absolute art, history and heritage. I would love to go again. Love from S.A 🇿🇦"
"Went here on a stormy evening and it somehow made the whole experience even better. We started outside with great cocktails, then when it began raining we moved inside and the vibe instantly became warm and cozy. As a vegetarian I tried the cauliflower steak and the plantains, both excellent and surprisingly flavorful. Great food, great service, and one of those places that feels perfect for a long conversation with a friend."
"The food was amazing.......though I’m not the biggest lamb fan, so the burger felt a touch overwhelming for me. But the corn ribs were so delicious I’d go back for those alone. The drinks were stellar, the eggnog lived up to every hope, and the mocktail was just as good. What really stood out was the staff....extra friendly and genuinely enthusiastic. They hooked us up with a sample of mitmita (an Ethiopian spice blend) and pointed us to a cool store that sells moka pots, because yes.......that coffee was so good we immediately needed our own pot to brew it at home."
