    What a great spot to get a vegetarian meal in Portland. We were excited to see two…read moreEritrean/Ethiopian restaurants in town, and we picked the Red Sea because their food looked great in photos online. It has a definite hole-in-the-wall aesthetic, but as soon as we stepped inside and smelled the food, we knew we were in the right place. We ordered the veggie combo for two people. Of note, it did not include shiro (ground chickpea curry), so we had to add that for an extra $10. We also wanted to add ful fava, so we could try every single veggie option, but they were out that day. The food took awhile to come out, so we were ravenous by the time it arrived, but it was worth the wait. We loved every bite. Unlike many other Eritrean/Ethiopian places we have tried, the Red Sea did not put excessive salt or oil on the food, just enough for it to be really tasty. In particular, we loved the lentil/okra dish, which we had never tried before. Just delicious. We also asked for the food to be extra spicy, so they brought us a little side of extra berbere powder. It did the trick! The injera was very fluffy and fresh. Of note, they sometimes close early if they have a rush earlier in the day, so keep that in mind before you go.

    Red Sea is a lovely family-run Eritrean restaurant on Washington Ave. I'm a big fan of Eritrean…read morefood and have had it in several cities, and this place does not disappoint! The interior is small but has a decent amount of booth seating. The service is also very warm. Came here for dinner on a cold day and ordered a veggie sampler and beef tibsi for two people. Everything was exceptionally tasty and well-seasoned. The tibsi was served together with the veggie sampler (in the middle of the injera), and the whole thing was plenty of food for two. The bill came out to about $60 after tax and tip, which I think is moderately priced for Portland given the portion size, and we left happy! We'll certainly be back.
