" Red Sea is a must-visit! The food was out of this world. I tried the lamb kebab, and it melted in my mouth. The injera was authentic and paired perfectly with the spicy flavors of the dish. The server was friendly and quick, ensuring our drinks were always full. However, I felt the decor could use a revamp to match the quality of food. Overall, this restaurant is definitely on my radar for future visits! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a family dinner here last weekend, and I can't say enough about it! The food was absolutely flavorful and fresh; each dish we ordered from the Ethiopian menu left a lasting impression. I particularly enjoyed the spicy lentils and the kibbeh. The service was stellar, with staff who genuinely cared about our dining experience. The atmosphere was friendly but could benefit from more decoration. I would highly recommend trying their mango smoothies too—they are simply divine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to Red Sea was quite lovely. We were greeted with warm smiles and immediately seated. I tried the vegetarian sampler platter and was quite impressed with the variety. Each dish was well-seasoned, and the injera was soft and fluffy. The only hiccup was that our food took a while to arrive, but the staff kept us informed. Overall, a solid restaurant with good food and cozy vibes. I would definitely return, even if it's just for the mango juice! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a large group, and Red Sea handled everything beautifully. The service was prompt and friendly, the food was authentic, and everyone left satisfied. Each dish was packed with flavor, and the presentation was admirable as well. The only critique was that it could get quite noisy with so many people, but overall, it was an enjoyable evening! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm new to Ethiopian cuisine, and Red Sea has set the bar high! The food was delicious with flavors I've never experienced before. I loved the spiced lentils and chicken tibs. The portion sizes are perfect for sharing, which made it so enjoyable. The only thing that bothered me a bit was the noise level; it got quite lively. All in all, a great experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
