| - Ahhh. That is the sigh of satisfaction I felt as I walked out of Red Sea.
It made me happy to find decent Ethiopian food in Charlotte, and duly impressed my formerly New York based foodie sister-in-law. How so? Well, the injera had just the right amount of sourness, the lamb tibes were tender and spicy, and in general, the lentils, collards, chicken and egg were all tasty. My only critique would be that we had to each order a dish, and I found portions to be small for the price...that said, it was plenty for us.
The staff was very friendly, and while the restaurant is small and simple, these are often the best places to eat at. Photos of Ethiopia adorn the walls and local art is displayed on the tables. The woman working there gladly talked about her hometown and accommodated my brother's special drink request.
This is a no frills place but the food is good. It's authentic. It's reasonably priced. It's satisfying. Go give it a whirl, and if you're not accustomed to spice, pair your dish with traditional Ethiopian honey wine or beer.
