In Short – This spacious two-room restaurant is a draw among native neighbors as well as adventurous eaters enjoying their first foray into Ethiopian food. For the natives, there are popular dance nights for socializing and flat screen TVs for sports-watching among familiar faces. For the uninitiated, it's a good study in Ethiopian 101, from the gojo hut-covered tables to photos and symbols of Africa covering the bright yellow walls. Strong incense flavors the experience as diners dig into shared veggie, meat and chicken combinations.

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.
- Pros: food, prices
- Cons: service

Awful!
by rg90036
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.

Food and atmosphere to warm your soul

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!
- Pros: food that makes you feel good!
- Cons: parking
