Red Sea Restaurant offers a delightful taste of Eritrean cuisine right in Portland! The atmosphere is cozy, perfect for a casual lunch or dinner. I started with the beef sambusas, which were wonderfully crispy, followed by the tsebihi doro chicken - just the right amount of spice. The vegetarian sampler was a great addition as well, showcasing the variety of flavors. The family-run environment adds a personal touch; the owner made us feel right at home! Don't miss the spiced tea! 🍵
