" I had the pleasure of dining at Red Sea last night, and it truly exceeded my expectations! The vibes are peaceful, and the ambiance is great for a casual dinner or special occasion. The lamb ordered was not only tender but packed with a rich flavor. The server was prompt and took the time to explain how the dishes were prepared. I’ll definitely make this a regular spot for when I crave amazing food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited the Red Sea with my partner and we were quite impressed by the service. The staff was attentive and welcomed questions about the menu. We tried the combo platter, which had an assortment of meats and veggies, and everything was well prepared. The portion sizes were generous, and the price was reasonable. The atmosphere was calm, perfect for an intimate dinner. We'll be returning soon to explore more items on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! What a hidden gem this place is! I stumbled upon Red Sea while exploring the neighborhood. As someone who loves Ethiopian food, I was thrilled to find this restaurant. The injera was authentic, and the doro wat was perfectly spiced. The portions were generous—enough for two meals! Our server was incredibly attentive and friendly, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. The only downside was the atmosphere could use a bit more pizzazz, but the food more than makes up for it. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wonderful experience overall! The variety in cuisine allows everyone to find something they enjoy. I decided to try the Ethiopian veggie platter and shared it with my friend, who got the Cajun chicken dish. Both plates were filled with bright, fresh flavors. The service was top-notch, quick, and attentive. The atmosphere felt cozy, except it could have used a few more decorative touches. Definitely coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently took a group of friends to Red Sea, and it was a hit! The diverse menu made it easy to order something for everyone.

The staff was polite and attentive, which I appreciate when dining out. I would recommend this place for anyone looking to explore Ethiopian flavors or for a casual dining experience!

" Red Sea has an impressive menu with something for everyone. I tried the chicken curry and was blown away! It was hearty, and the spice was just right. The injera was freshly made. The staff were friendly and provided great recommendations. The only drawback was that the place was a bit crowded during our visit, making the atmosphere feel a little rushed. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such a wonderful experience at Red Sea! The moment I walked in, the environment felt warm and inviting. I ordered the chicken misir, which was packed with spices, just as it should be—truly authentic Ethiopian! The service staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. I loved the portions; they were more than generous. If you're a fan of Ethiopian or Mediterranean food, this is definitely the place to be! " (*Curated Review*)
