Great service!!! Amazing food!!! The servers are polite, and give you great recommendations. The food comes out delicious, and quick. Titi and kidi always have a great smile on their faces.

I went here with about 10 other people for my birthday and the food and the service was amazing. I highly recommend all their dishes, but especially their asa goulash, which has the crispiest tilapia bites you’ll ever eat. Their injera is also so good that a friend who came with me who previously was not a fan was converted. If you want tasty food at a very reasonable price, check out Red Sea :)

Best food ever. If you havent tried Ethiopian food I highly highly recommend it. It even reminds me of southern food in some ways so it’s not outside of anyone comfort zone. It’s a great culinary experience plus it’s the most tasty food in the world (and I’ve tried a lot of foods). You should research the best ways to eat Ethiopian food before coming and definitely order the sampler! And the The alicha wot with lamb (which is included in the sampler!) the service was fast and the atmosphere was nice and clean and hot too bright or dark.

Stopped by to grab dinner before going to a nearby concert. The server was very nice and very patient as I had never had Ethiopian food before. The atmosphere was quite authentic and pleasant. The food was served promptly and tasted delicious. It was over all a very enjoyable experience. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Red Sea catered a pre-wedding dinner for 25 of us. The food was incredible., and the staff (especially Coolidge) was wonderful to work with. The food was all vegetarian except for the fish dish. People were delighted with the selection, and we were fortunate enough to have leftovers for the next day!

I finally had the opportunity of visiting the Red Sea after numerous recommendations from friends. The half vegetarian/meat family platter is delicious. Easily one of the best as it includes a little bit of everything. I also had Yebeg (lamb) Tibs with injera. Finally had a decent steak sandwich with jalapeños. Everything I ordered was suggested by the staff. All suggestions were spot on! The Red Sea is a reliable source for great Ethiopian food!

This is my absolute favorite restaurant in the twin cities area. The food is always good and no matter what I order I am always happy with my meal! The ‘Beg Tibs’ Me and my friends ordered was soooo good we couldn’t stop licking our fingers lol. The manger was very nice to us as well. Very positive and Easy to talk to(Bisrat). Servers are also great and always efficient, happy and polite. Can’t wait to return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in MN.

This place is horrible to be honest. High prices on drinks and it's a hole in the wall type of place. Definitely doesn't feel safe or good environment to bring the wife or kids. High recommend going to another restaurant/ bar to enjoy yourself. The bar tenders was awful and not attended at all to paying customers. If I could give this place a zero I would have but for now one star because I didn't have that choice unfortunately.

Tried take-out. The Derek Tibs and Leba Tibs were pretty good. I kind of thought they would be more spicy based on the menu, but all in all pretty tasty. It was my first time trying any kind of Ethiopian food. The staff was friendly. I will definitely come back for more. I think my experience might be better or different if I were to dine in next time.

It used to be one Of my favorite restaurants to order from but not recently. I ordered tibs and mesir via UberEATS. The mesir was mediocre and the tibs was so bland (no spice whatsoever). They basically roasted beef with sauteed onions. No Ethiopian flavor and lacks total aunthenticity. I hope you fix it and maintain the flavor of Ethiopian food
