Red Sea Ethiopian and Eritrean Cuisine

This is hands down the best Ethiopian food in Charlotte. We live in South Carolina and will drive up to eat here. The staff are also super friendly. The only negative comment that I can give it that it takes forever to get your food. You can expect to wait an hour from ordering and that's on a slow day. We know this and plan for it everything we go. As long as you don't expect a quick meal, the food is worth the wait. The artwork on the walls and tables sets a good ambiance.

Vegetarian options: They are good about modifying the plates and combos to your specifications

Parking: Not much parking up front but there is a large parking lot behind the building

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, open floor plan

I had lot of Ethiopian and Eritrean restaurant I never had like this restaurant discussing

Came here for the first time today, it’s sensational! My friend and I split the veggie platter and the lentil sambusa because I am vegetarian, and it was so delicious and so much food that we took a to go box as well. Mella, the girl who served us, was so kind and attentive! It’s a beautiful restaurant as well with lots of art and very clean. You should go here for sure!

It was my first time eating in this establishment. As an African American ( Black American), it is very interesting that the " core food stuff" that I/ We eat is indeed a world phenomenon.... Example ( Chicken and rice/ bread!!!).

Enjoyed the experience....

Dietary restrictions: Yes.

Parking: Parking was okay.

I’ve never eaten Ethiopian food. I ordered the Ye Beg Tebs ($13.99). I was somewhat disappointed because I expected more of a WOW that food is delicious feeling. Instead it was just ok. The building is a little run down looking. Urinal in men’s bathroom was covered with a trash bag saying out of order. 91.5 sanitation grade. I was there at noon on a Friday and was the only customer there. I’m glad I went there but wasn’t impressed enough to return.

2 weeks ago I had the Lamb tibs so tender and plenty of meat and juice! Authentic taste, fresh injera! The side veggies cabbage and carrots perfect. No one to welcome you when you walk in so if you don’t speak the language they kinda look at you strange and don’t greet you with even a hello! The atmosphere could use some music. Only the bar tv on to entertain footballers. The seating was very comfortable. I would definitely recommend this place

It's a fun option, very different than most food offerings in the area. It's generally shared, communal eating with one's hands.

While novelty should be expected to command a slightly higher price, I feel the prices are a tad high for the food -- which is undoubtedly flavorful.

Parking: Never had an issue with parking here. They have their own lot.

Pretty standard Ethiopian combo. The green beans in particular were extremely tasty.
