Excellent vegan Ethiopian food

After also visiting the other famous Ethiopian restaurant in Minneapolis, I can confidently say that I enjoyed The Red Sea’s veggie sampler more! The portion was very generous for the price and all the dishes were well-seasoned and enjoyable. I also appreciated the ability to customise the spice level of your meal. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for Ethiopian food in the area.

Veggie Platter

Share the veggie platter, or keep the leftovers. The flavors taste even more amazing the next day. Get some extra injera!

Great ethnic food!

First time eating Ethiopian food and loved it! I ordered the veggie sampler and my mom ordered the tikel gomen, which was in the sampler, and it all was so delicious. Great place for vegan options!

Pros: Vegetrian menu is all vegan

Friendly Ethiopian Restaurant near UMN campus

We've been to Red Sea three times when we've dropped him off/picked him up for college. It is always tasty and fresh. The veg platter feeds 4 people with some leftovers, though we always get extra injira. The servers are always friendly and service is quick. It is "cozy" inside, and attracts a very diverse crown. It is in no way fancy, and is connected to a night club next door.

Pros: Tasty food, Friendly service, lots of veg items

Cons: parking sometimes a pain, interior is not exactly gorgeous or new, plastic plates
