I absolutely recommend this restaurant. I am very happy with my lunch experience. The food was outstanding. The serves was fantastic. I had the ultimate red sea combination, Ethiopian tea( its a very refreshing tea), and for dessertThe kunafa.

We went searching for hole in the wall places to eat and Red Sea knocked it out of the park. The owner took his time to explain the whole menu to us with out being asked as he sat us and let us know the difference between each type of food since it’s a Ethiopian/Mediterranean/Cajun offering. Each and every dish was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. Our dishes came out at different times to ensure our meals were fresh to the table as well. We were checked on multiple times to ensure we were happy with our experience and given a very personal experience. We will definitely be back.

We got the Red Sea sampler and it was phenomenal. The flavors were complex and pleasing — not to spicy but not spiceless. We also started off with the falafel which was some of the best I’ve ever had. I highly recommend this place.

Three of us split the Red Sea Combination with half injera and half rice plus two veg sambusas and we loved it all! I’ve never had Ethiopian before and highly recommend getting this plate so that you can try a variety of dishes at once. The food was delicious and this quantity could have easily fed a fourth person! This was well worth the price and affordable to split amongst our group.

Came on a Saturday for lunch, and had an excellent meal. We ordered the Red Sea Sampler and enjoyed every single dish.The hot tea was also nicely spiced and a great addition to the meal. Service was friendly and fast, and the atmosphere is pleasant. We will definitely return to this location

Food was really good! It was my first time having Ethiopian food so I split the ultimate platter. Would for sure recommend this place to anyone. The staff is extremely helpful as well.

This vegan plate looked so good I ate some before taking the pic. Definitely recommend! My friend got the grape leaves and said they were delish as well.

First time finding this little place and being introduced to Ethiopian food; absolutely a new favorite place! We got the combo platter and I was pleasantly surprised at A) how much food was included and B) how scrumptious the Injera and the rice were! I work around here, so there’s a very strong possibility of this becoming a regular dig!

Went in with a group of 13 and the menu had something for everyone. So many different options and everything tasted amazing! It’s common for ethiopian restaurants to have slow turn around times, but not here!My friends and I ordered the ultimate platter, sambosa, and the rice. I recommend them all and want to give the owner Akhil a shout out for the amazing service!! Add this place to your trip plans if you’re visiting, or stop by if you live in the area, you won’t be disappointed.

This place is fabulous. The Veggie platter has so many spices that I don't normally eat. You got to try it. And the fried green tomatoes are wonderful.
