Red Sea Restaurant Shepherd’s Bush is a welcoming East African and Yemeni restaurant at 382 Uxbridge Road. The menu brings several closely connected food traditions together, giving diners a broad introduction to Eritrean, Ethiopian, Somali and Yemeni cooking.
Injera provides a distinctive foundation for many Ethiopian and Eritrean dishes, its gently sour, spongy texture made for gathering up richly seasoned stews and vegetables. Shared platters allow a table to explore different flavours and textures in one meal.
Somali and Yemeni specialities add rice, slow cooked meat and aromatic spice to the selection. Lamb mandi is a substantial option, while grilled meat and whole fish dishes, including sea bass, offer a more direct style of cooking.
The restaurant’s range makes it suitable both for diners returning to familiar regional favourites and those trying the cuisines for the first time. A meal here is best enjoyed communally, with breads, rice, vegetables and carefully spiced mains shared across the table.
