| - This is a must try. There were some picky and non-adventurous eaters in my group, and even they liked it.
Food: It's best to go with a group or at least one other person. You can order your food "American style", where everyone gets a dish, or you can order it the way Ethiopians would it eat- on a large platter where everyone can share. You get a large piece of injera (Ethiopian bread) that you use to scoop the food up. Yes, you essentially eat with your hands. The injera is slightly sour and very airy. The food itself is extremely tasty.
Service: I am not sure what to say here. The server was very friendly and kindly explained and suggested dishes to us, but the service is very slow. I would not hold that against Red Sea, though, as I am sure in Ethiopian culture dinner is viewed more so as a way for the family to gather and talk, as opposed to just for eating, so I imagine Ethiopians take their time, as opposed to how we Americans eat. So, just make sure to plan some extra time.
Price: The prices were more than fair. All but maybe one or two entrees can be had for $13-$15. Lentils and injera are served with the entrees. For what you get, the prices are excellent.
I will definitely return.
