Salam Cafe is an Australian comedy talk show. Produced by RMITV,[1] and originally airing on Channel 31 from 31 April 2005 under the title Ramadan TV,[2] the show began a revamped ten-week run on the SBS from 7 May 2008. Hosted by Ahmed Imam and starring various Muslim panellists, including Waleed Aly and Susan Carland, the show presents a light hearted, humorous view on life as a Muslim in Australia through panel discussion and a series of sketches that lampoon the representation of Muslims in Australia and the Islamic way of life.[3]
The show was filmed in front of a live audience in Sydney and Melbourne.
Salam Cafe has won various Antenna Awards, recognising outstanding community television programs broadcast on Channel 31 across Australia.
