Vibe: Cozy, lacking trendiness

Channeling homely warmth into a symphony of charming decor and visual appeal, Rosalind's Ethiopian offers a unique ethnic vibe. However, some find the atmosphere lacking in trendiness and don't particularly stand out for romantic date nights. The drinks menu has also failed to impress, with a reported lack of variety in beers and wines.

  • Bad Drinks

    Lack of variety in beers and wines disappoints some customers.

Perks: Challenging parking, insect company

The service experience at Rosalind's Ethiopian has a unique tone, with instances of staff being perceived as pushy and service being somewhat slow. The stressful task of securing parking after 6pm also poses a problem due to limited availability. To add to the discomfort, many flies have been reported on the patio, making everything a bit less enjoyable and somewhat bothersome.

  • Great For Groups

    Exceptionally accommodating for large groups, with plentiful and diverse food options.

  • Hard To Reserve

    Pushy staff rushes guests despite having a reservation.
