Before we get into the review, I wanted to mention that this is only the second time I've been to an Ethiopian restaurant ever. The food from the first place I went to many years ago was too spicy (I had no spice tolerance at the time), and the injera was sour enough that eventually my stomach hurt (possibly because I had too much since it was likely the only thing I could eat). When my spouse and I sat down to order lunch, we originally wanted to get a Sambusa, but they were all out, so we got the Kelwa Dinish and the Green Salad. The salad had a light dressing that was kind of like oil & pepper but more interesting. The cubed beef had a great flavor and texture. I also liked that there was a little bit of gristle on some of the pieces. I think there might be a little bit of spice from the oil, but I was able to eat it (since I can handle a tiny bit of spice now). Overall, I was glad we got the salad because it helped to balance out the other dish. The two of us couldn't finish the food, so we took the leftovers home in reusable silicone containers. If I ever get Ethiopian or Eritrean food again, I'd be happy to come back here for a casual dining experience with food that isn't too spicy for me.

Food Is amazing , service is Perfect and the ambiance are very nice. The people are humble.

Best Ethiopian restaurant in the USA. I have traveled far and wide. Until tonight, I thought the best US Ethiopian food was in Washington, DC. But now, i think that Red Sea reigns supreme. Sublime flavors, first-class service, and truly majestic music, what's not to love?

The food was amazing and the service is impeccable our family has been coming here for years and won't stop anytime soon some of the best Ethiopian food around

Overall solid food, but given the overall high bar of Ethiopian food in the area, I was surprised at how this couldn't quite match the others. They forgot the soups in our order, but even outside of that, the dishes themselves really were more okay than good. The meat dishes consisted more of cartilage than actual meat, and was overall overcooked and tough. The injera was good, as were some of the vegetable options. But with Asmara around the corner, I can't say I'd recommend going here.

Seemed like a good idea because it had so many food options but it was fair. Prices were decent but it didn't have the real Ethiopian flavor that I'm used to. They didn't even put the beef awaze on top of the injera in the box?!?The injera also was lacking something but not sure what since I don't make it. Overall, it was decent but I don't think I would try it again. The chicken sambusca had a great crisp but also lacking on flavor. My friend had the fried green tomatoes with crabmeat but said it had an odd "too crabby" taste.

Excellent food and great service. The meat combo plate was delicious- just the right amount of spice. The people working there are also very nice.

We eat Ethiopian/Eritrean often but we usually stick to a restaurant in the South Bay so I am not the right critic to say the food we had is authentic or not. Or good or bad. I would just highlight what is noticeable. Most dishes are a bit spicy for us. Well the menu did indicate that! But again, I don't eat spicy often. So maybe this is the norm for authentic food. Kinda like you go to a Thai restaurant, their mild is spicy for my taste bud. We enjoyed the wonderful customer service. We brought a child who isn't tolerant of spicy food but accustomed to Ethiopian /Eritrean food we usually get. Unfortunately, she couldn't handle the stuff we ordered for adults. The staff ended up serving a non spicy food with injera for her. It was very sweet of them doing so. Street parking isn't bad. We found one around the corner with a short walking distance.

this restaurant gave me 2 parking tickets for just parking on the green for less than an hour!
