Rosalind's Ethiopian - (323) 936-2486

The food at Rosalind's is fantastic. We ordered the vegan appetizer and the vegetarian combination plate as an entree. Both dishes came out in a timely fashion, the entree with a big plate of that wonderful Injera crepe-like bread. My only issue with the restaurant was that one of our two servers wasn't friendly, and only refilled our water once. We waited a very long time for the bill, but it was okay because it gave us time to sponge up leftover buttery sauce with injera. Overall, good experience, though I wish the service had been a little bit better.

I had take-out from this restaurant and ordered the combination appetizer, the beef and chicken entree and the vegetarian entree. Firstly, the person who placed my order was very rude and rushed me through my order as if they were very busy. I walk in 15 minutes to a completely empty restaurant. My family urged me to post this due to the horrible condition of the food. The appetizer was all old. The shrimp must have been there for days to have a jerky like texture. The meatball and the other round bread-like things were also very tough and dry as if they have been sitting in the kitchen for a long time. The beef and chicken dish was almost entirely sauce with very tiny pieces of meat and one drumstick and one egg. The vegetarian entree was decent but I've had much much better across the street.

Ended up at Roaslinds the other night with my fiance and his buddy. We were tired and hungry. Our experience at Rosalinds brought us back to life! After indicating our Vegetarian inclination to our lovely server, she decided for us. I love it when you feel you can trust the staff with your food selection! Our salads were crisp and refreshing, the entree - a giant platter of scrumptiosness to be shared family style using Injera -was awesome. I liked the decor and vibe and just felt really comfortable there! We will definitely be back!

My boyfriend and I went here to experience ethiopian food for the first time, and this place out of all of Little Ethiopia was the nicest looking and the most popular. The food was tasty and spicy, so go prepared for spice! I wish they would have told us that most people order the a la carte dishes which then all come together on a plate for sharing, so when you go make sure you know it is meant to be family style, but our combo plate with three items plus an appetizer would have been enough for 3 people and it is so cheap! Definitely a great cheap date place and the decor makes it feel much more authentic than some of the other places along fairfax. Definitely a must try if you haven't tried it before! We will be back to sample some of the other items now that we know how it works! The Sambusas are a must

The restaurnat lacked the charming vision I had of dark lights and small round tables, especially since it had bright lighting, big tables and only small wicker ones that are more for show, as well as an unplesant waitres/hostess that would slam the plates down and not answer us. It took several explanations to explain the fact that we couldn't have the lamb since it had curry on it (allergies) and if she could subsitute beef instead without ordering another dish. In the end, it was an experience though, the food wasn't terrible, just not prepared will with the beef being over cooked and tough. I had to go to Carl's Jr. afterwards jut to fill up properly.
