The Red Sea was very accommodating for our party. Smooth coordination for setup, easy load-in access from backstage, and flexible availability the next day for tear-down. Between their extraordinarily friendly staff and phenomenal reputation in the Minneapolis DJ scene, they are a hard venue to beat! We look forward to hosting more events at The Red Sea in the future!

Titi (my waiter) was amazing and super patient. The ambience felt so homely. For the food, I had an explosion of robust flavors just at first bite which shows how much love was went into preparing it. I will recommend this place over and over again.

Amazing food and service. We had the taste of Ethiopia and everything was delicious. And the Ethiopian beer hit the spot. Our server, Titi, was so attentive and helpful. I would definitely come back.

Awesome food: authentic, wonderfully rich and comforting. Extra injera is a must!

GrubHub Reviewer

This place was amazing! The service was very friendly, the food was delicious, and everything came out quickly. There is so much food that there’s no way you can finish it all. Definitely best to go with a group so you can order more dishes and share. Highly recommend.

My husband and I recently dined at The Red Sea Restaurant and were delighted by both the atmosphere and the cuisine. We ordered the Roll Sampler and the Super Veggie Combo, which were ample and satisfying for the two of us. The variety and richness of the flavors truly showcased the authenticity of Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine. Our server was very attentive, providing us with extra Injera to ensure we could enjoy every last bite. [...] This place offers a fantastic dining experience and I highly recommend it for anyone eager to explore East African cuisine.
