Cozy Lebanese spot with flavorful grills and friendly service, but consistency, wait times, and occasional quality lapses mean experiences vary widely.
Salma delivers reliable Lebanese comfort dining with strong food quality when the kitchen executes—grills and mezze platters earn consistent praise. However, inconsistent execution and variable service speed, especially during peak hours, prevent a higher grade. The pleasant East Village setting and warm staff make it worth trying for groups seeking shareable Lebanese fare, though reliability concerns limit it from competing with the area's more dependable neighborhood restaurants.
One caveat: Service delays of 60-90 minutes reported during busy periods; limited updates from staff
