The best Ethiopian food, excellent vegetarian options. The service is more than 5 stars. Try their traditional Honey Wine, a must. Vegi Combo gives you the opportunity to try 4 of their top vegetarian dishes on one plate. Also for carnivores they have a meat combo. Family owned (Husband & Wife) you will always see one or both working.

Absolutely unbelievably DELICIOUS! The best Ethiopian food I have ever had! I cant believe i have been to this place before. I got the lamb stew and vegetable combo dishes and they were both Absolutely fantastic. Incredible flavors, the lamb was super tender and the variety, textures and flavors were just incredible. This place is an absolute must try! BRAVO!!!

Absolutely amazing experience. Shimmy and Eden have a very welcoming restaurant. I originally came here for a school project about different cultures: Shimmy walked me around and showed me different cultural items and explained their meanings. The food was delicious, fresh, and enjoyable. The restaurant itself is clean, comfortable, and feels like home.
I go here whenever I can now. They are very community oriented people: this isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a gathering place. They do everything they can to keep their prices affordable, and give us a great experience. See you soon Shimmy and Eden!

I love The Red Sea!! I’ve been coming here for many many years. Hands down one of the best restaurants in the area. Wonderful comfort food, full of flavor and always fresh and hearty. Plus the owners are awesome. They also have solid vegetarian options, so there’s something for everyone. Great place, highly recommend, five stars always!

I’ve been a customer at red sea Ethiopian since October of last year and I make the weekend trip because it’s worth it. The service is amazing. The food is incredibly delicious. You can tell it’s prepared the right way and everything is very good. The hospitality is better than anywhere and it’s definitely worth the trip. Don’t forget to bring your friends and family. 10/10

DEL-LISH-OUS
I have frequent this authentic Ethiopian Restaurant during the past few years of living in San Diego, and I still can’t get enough!. Food quality, presentation and of course the most important, TASTE!
The owners are truly blessings to the community. Upon entry, the restaurant has a museum like feel, highlighting great Ethiopians and art from the culture
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND stopping by for a taste for any occasion!
Ask for the Honey wine!

I was hesitant about writing a review bc I wanted to gate keep this restaurant for myself but this is a small, family owned business. This will be my go-to restaurant for Ethiopian cuisine in the SD area. The depth of flavor and spices along with the portion size and price is unbeatable. The service was a highlight and I saw that the waitress happily answered a lot of cultural questions for the other customers too.

I had a lovely experience dining here. The food was delicious, they accommodated my gf request, the service was amazing, and the atmosphere was adorable. The food was flavored and spiced perfectly. I will definitely be coming back!! The owners were so sweet and down to earth. You can tell how much love and care they put into their food. Parking in the area was easy. It was very reasonably priced as well 🙂
