Me and my friends love ethnic food and this place was totally a place we love. It was very authentic in atmosphere and the food was tasty!

Tonight, my friends asked to go to Addis because they told me it was a unique place and the food was good.
When I went, I was open minded and the place seemed quite busy on a saturday night and I was expecting "good" service and pretty good food. After waiting to be seated, the waitress came by quickly and was very cordial. My friends ordered a appetizer that was wayyyy too over priced and it was 2 pieces of crispy ground beef pastry smaller than your thumb that couldn't even fill up a baby.($6.95) It took 40 minutes to cook 2 mini hotpockets which was ridiculous. The appetizer was luke warm so they made a comment to the waitress and she said they were suppose to be like (luke warm food...are you serious?)that which was untrue because they had it before when it was hot and the most upsetting was that it was clearly fried and and she told us it was "pan cooked" which was impossible with that texture. We ordered together and got 5 dishes. By the way it was more than 50 minutes before the food was on the table. Food was not really too unique at all I thought but the atmosphere was with all the stuff on the walls. Food was sort of like a stew type but just seasoned heavily with herbs and spices. I truthfully had pretty high expectations after reading a bunch of reviews and afterwards, i do not think im going back again. I went to the 1 on tremont street and I have to say, the manager there is not too friendly and rude. Overall I did not have a great experience but I would recommend it to people who are curious to see what the place is like. Prepare to wait a long time for the food and they do not take reservations for less than 6 people.

I think the best of this restaurant is the experience. I am ethnic cuisine lover, I have tried so many different styles of food, and I still love this Ethiopian food most. The food that Addis Red Sea provides is also clean, and fresh. Price is reasonable and environment is great and neat. I highly recommended for someone who also likes to try something new, unique and special.

Love this place! The food is great (that bread stuff that you wrap up all the food is sooo good). If you love trying new styles of eating this place is for you. Also try the honey wine. Very sweet but good.
