Redi-et Ethiopian Cuisine — Restaurant in Myrtle Beach

Service was super slow, both from the waiter to the kitchen. When the two of us arrived, there were only two others there, waiting for their order. We sat and waited until the waiter decided that we needed to be paid attention to. After receiving menus, he decided that maybe he should go back and ask about a beverage. After ordering, waited for about half an hour to get an appetizer, and a napkin 10 minutes after. Food arrived 45 minutes later, lukewarm and unappetizing looking. The Lamb and the Beef were a stew like paste that tasted all the same. The Chicken was a tiny leg dry and overcooked.The hard boiled egg that came with the meal was not fresh. Probably a leftover from last weeks cooking. Everything tasted the same. Very pricy for both the portion sizes, (tiny) and the quality of the cuisine. I've eaten Ethiopian food in Baltimore, MD, in the back room of a local dingy little market, that was marvelous, had taste and freshness, and a thousand...

We ordered an appetizer for 2 adults and 1 child. I split the vegetarian platter with my 6-year old daughter. And her father ordered a vegetarian soup. We also ordered coffee. All of the vegetarian dishes are strict vegetarian (vegan). It was our first time trying Ethiopian food and it was excellent. Having read up on it before-hand, my daughter and I chose to forego the flatware and eat with the injera. The flavors were wonderful. The coffee was the best I have ever had.

The server was very sweet and even engaged our daughter in conversation. There was what I assume to be Ethiopian music and dancing on a television. There were surprisingly few people dining while we were there at about 7:00 p.m. It is by far the best food we have had in the area. We plan to dine there again before we leave Myrtle Beach and will certainly visit again if we return to the area.

I would definitely recommend checking Redi-et out if you are ever at...

Great food, affordable prices, friendly service and extremely authentic. This was my first experience trying Ethiopian food, we didn't expect to find something so terrific in a tourist beach town, luckily we did. The appetizer bread, I believe it's called defo dabo has caraway seeds and tastes like some kind of other-worldly savory cake! If you are vegan, Redi-et has your back!! Their entire 'vegetarian' menu is actually vegan. I had the vegetable plate (choice of 4 veggies served on a huge piece of injera) and thought I'm not sure what the Ethiopian names for the foods were, I had spicy split peas, lentils, cabbage and another item that escapes me now. The beers are delicious and even have a hint of honey flavor! You have got to try Redi-et... I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant and have been craving their food...
