I was invited to a wedding reception here, I love the beautifully decorated banquet hall and friendly staffs.but the hall was not that big and so most invited guests ware not able to get sits inside the main hall. Overall if you have a large party this is not a place for you. But its ok for a medium size party. Good job!!!!! Salam management.

I had my husban's surprise birthday dinner here in June. Everyone had excellent customer service, especially the young lady, Christy, with whom I planned everything with over the phone. The food was different from what I expected but it was very good! We will definitely be dining here again!

To be honest all I wanted was a plain fish sandwich and didn’t really expect much as I was short on time but still very hungry. The fish sandwich was not only well-seasoned and delicious, it satisfied my appetite completely! The staff is very warm and friendly, it felt like home. Thank you Salaam!

I currently live in Indianapolis. I am sure the food must be great, following the Musulim nutrition plan of "eat to live". However I have never had the pleasure of eating there. As my experience has been it is never open when I am in Chicago. Why can't the owner/manager keep a great restaurant open more than one day a week?

The ambiance and service at The Salaam are so beautifully designed. The servers were very courteous and made us feel very much appreciated. We felt very much cared for, while we had our dining experience. The food was tastefully seasoned, as well as cooked to bring ease to one's palate. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience.
