Red Sea Ethiopian Mediterranean and Cajun Restaurant offers a diverse selection of dishes from Cajun, Mediterranean, Ethiopian, and Indian cuisines. Customers praise the tender and flavorful lamb shank, delicious rice, and crave-worthy plantains. The vegetarian/vegan veggie sampler is highly recommended, even for non-vegetarians. The alligator bites are a must-try. The staff are kind and humble, creating a cozy and enjoyable environment.

The restaurant serves dishes like shawarma, gumbo with chicken and sausage, and an authentic Ethiopian meal likely prepared by an Ethiopian cook. The injera bread is soft and flavorful, and the lamb key wot is praised for its perfect spices and tenderness. The sampler plate gives a taste of everything and is highly recommended.

The restaurant is located in a place that also features an international grocery store, with separate menus for Biryani Bowl (Indian food) and Ethiopian, Cajun, and Mediterranean options. Multiple chefs work in the kitchen, allowing diners to order across all menus, making it convenient for groups with different tastes and dietary needs.

The atmosphere evokes a deep-rooted Ethiopian vibe, and many visitors compare it favorably to authentic experiences. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food and atmosphere. Overall, the restaurant is seen as a true gem, with many customers excited to return and try dishes like Dodo Wat.

Ya me habían recomendado ir a Red Sea, pero hasta la semana pasada pude verificar lo que me habían dicho. Qué comida tan tica la que preparan ahí, personas muy amables que explican cada plato y buena cantidad de comida, vale la pena visitarlos.

Red Sea is the Ultimate Dining Experience, I have been a Loyal Customer for years. In my humble Opinion, with the Ultimate Gumbo Alone, there is no comparison nowhere in the B’ham/Metro area!!! Sunday I took my Mother and Sisters here for Dinner after Church, and they were very Impressed. The Food was Delicious “As always”and the Service was Impeccable. Whenever I’m asked of friends and Family Or Co- workers of a Good Place to enjoy a meal RED SEA is the Place I will always...read full review

Drove from Fort Payne to Birmingham for an event downtown, and had enough time to explore beforehand. Came here on a previous recommendation from a friend, and the cuisine options were enough to convince my friends to try it. We all ended up with Ethiopian food, which was just hot & spicy enough with good savory flavors that made for a satisfying meal. Will definitely be back!
