The roast chicken and sourdough were great, but the plates had peeling or chipped coating. Damaged tableware is not hygienic, can trap bacteria, and may leach unwanted substances especially risky for elderly people and young children.
This condition does not meet FDA food contact standards or California health regulations. I hope the restaurant replaces these plates soon so customers can enjoy the good food with proper safety.

Really enjoyable meal here. I had the Habibi Lamb Burger on a sourdough bun. Lamb was perfrcty cooked but I felt the harissa overpowered the flavors a little. Coleslaw was amazing. My husband ordered the Tuna sandwich which looked really lovely. Would definitely go back foe the ambience alone. It's a special outdoor dining space. Well worth the visit.

Ojai Rotie’s rotie chicken was juicy and perfectly seasoned.
The half portion was more than enough for one person — really filling.
I was looking for something healthy and high in protein since I’m on a diet, and this grilled chicken was such a great choice.
We also tried the white bean hummus, which was creamy, nutty, and had a slightly tangy flavor. It came with warm grilled Lebanese bread that paired perfectly.
The atmosphere was cozy and rustic, and the Halloween decorations added a lovely orange-toned charm to the space.
If you’re looking for something delicious and unique in Ojai, I’d definitely recommend this place.

Rotie catered our Ojai wedding last month and were a total pleasure! The food and service was incredible and Leigha was a dream to work with over the past year. Our guests are still talking about the meal and we’ll be forever grateful to the team for all their hard work! Highly, highly recommend for any couples considering an Ojai wedding.

Outdoor, airy, gentle, soft life atmosphere. All outdoor patio with some patio umbrellas. Kind staff. Very feminine vibe, with singer-songwriter music humming in the air.
You order your food and they bring it too you. You can buy wine/beer in a separate mini-bungalow space.
The food presentation is absolutely beautiful. And the food itself is good:
The one exceptionally tasty item we tried was the lamb Kafka. The 3 meatballs on sticks were so full of flavor! They are a must order for meat eaters here. The other exceptional item was the side of pommes frites - roasted herbaceous cubed potatoes drizzled with a creamy sauce.
The other items we had were good and filling. Not exceptional.
Avocado toast is huge with lots of avocado and other veggies. It's visually impressive. But not as flavorful as it looks.
Roti chicken: the skin is very tasty. I ordered the quarter chicken and expected it to be leg and thigh. But it was wing and breast. To my surprise the breast was juicy! But if you prefer dark meat I guess you have to tell them that. With the chicken you can get 2 sides. Potatoes (mentioned above), and tabbouleh salad, which was my one slight disappointment. It was made fresh that day - which, I find, makes it less flavorful and harder to chew the parsley than when the salad is allowed to marinate in the dressing overnight.
Overall a very enjoyable experience. The ambiance, super laid back summer/fall vibe and food make it worth the stop.

Very disappointed with food and ambience. From the minute I was seated due to very uncomfortable table/chairs.. the uneven floor making the table tilted. I was expecting the chicken to be cleaned before cooked; the rotisserie chicken came with feathers, and that cut my appetite.
