Best Restaurants in City Heights | Eater San Diego
"San Diego neighborhoods south of the 8 are blessed with a few Ethiopian restaurants sprinkled between University Heights and City Heights. Red Sea Ethopian Restaurant, owned by Ethiopian refugee Shimeles Kibret, is toward the eastern end of the map. Red Sea’s food has all the hallmarks of Ethiopian slow-cooked dishes: patience, complexity, succulence. Whether for takeout, dine-in, or patio seating, diners can find tender stews dolloped over fluffy injera, collard greens simmered with garlic and Ethiopian coffee. The sweet staff make newcomers feel welcome, and if the travel posters on the walls inspire a trip to Addis Ababa, Red Sea’s doro wat and tibs are a great option until international travel is easier again."
