Red Sea - Portland

I love East African cuisine and this was our first time trying it in Portland. I was hesitant to get it to go because injera doesn't always travel well, but I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was. We ordered the vegan/vegetarian sampler, as well as the falafel and hummus, all of which were tasty. The hummus was particularly delicious. I will definitely be returning to this restaurant.

The food at this restaurant is always fresh, so the wait may be long but it's definitely worth it. The staff is friendly and all vegetarian options are vegan from what I've seen. They do not use any dairy products and only use vegetable oils. The Shiro dish here is the best you'll ever taste.

While roadtripping up to Acadia, we decided to stop in Portland for dinner and landed on Red Sea. Off the bat, the staff were so so kind. And then the food came… it was incredible, so flavorful! It was a cold and rainy night and the warm meals were sooo comforting. Would 10/10 recommend!

I am not vegan, so I cannot comment on that aspect, but I was pleased to bring my vegetarian child to this restaurant and introduce them to one of my favorite cuisines.

The veggie sampler is vegan and it’s flavorful and filling! (Potatoes, cauliflower, sautéed spinach, stewed lentils, and stewed okra. Check this out when you want something hearty and homemade.
