Ojai Rotie - Ojai, California

Really delicious food. Rotisserie chicken is tender and exceptionally well. Spiced portions are substantial salads. Picnic sides are delicious. The garlic sauce dip is incredible. Outside seating area is gorgeous. It’s early spring here and the leaves are not yet on the trees, but the canopy provided by the large trees with the lights on wires and trellises it’s just magical. Service sizes are generous, and the prices are very very reasonable.

Food was delicious! Highly recommend their dips and sourdough bread for a delicious meal. Outdoor dining - amazing for a casual or fancy outing. Great to go in a bigger group to split all the menu options in a more buffet style.

Fun casual place with very nice outside seating. Staff was super friendly. Food was some of best we had in a long time. Definitely a go out of our way to return. (order food at the counter, order drinks at a the hut – super efficient while still having friendly and proactive wait staff bring the food.) Uploading a pic of the chicken (juicy!. recco to make sure to get the potatoes as a side – maybe even as two sides if there are several of you!) Sadly forgot to take a photo of all until we nearly demolished it all.

Ojai Rosie is only one of the best places to get a meal in Ojai. This is a must visit if you are looking for a great meal in town. The chicken of course is amazing and the bread, well I can’t say enough about the bread. Great service and nice local vibes. I always make a point to eat here when I am in town.

If you don’t bring your business here it would be one of the biggest mistakes of your life. 15/10. Chef (Fern) speaks four and a half languages and we couldn’t contain our laughter when he brought his delightful banter to our table. We were celebrating a birthday and once Fern found out he immediately waltzed away and brought back a large plate full of delectable brownies. Additionally, the food was top tier and seed oil free!! Will be coming back even if I move away from California trust me, it’s worth it.

Solid chicken, but choose your sides wisely.
Ojai Roti can get crowded on weekends, so come early or reserve a spot. I ordered at the counter, and their signature dish is the chicken meal (available in quarter, half, or full portions).
The half chicken meal is a great deal at $24, including two sides — a solid portion for one person.
The sides themselves feel a bit overpriced unless you go for the picnic sampler, which gets you three sides for the price of two.
The carrot & quinoa and potato salad were pretty good, but the tabbouleh was a letdown—basically just parsley with barely any bulgur. I’ve had way better before.
If you’re here for the chicken, you’ll be happy—but if you’re here for the sides, bring a fat wallet or lowered expectations.

A little gem in downtown Ojai. A place with a very lovely outdoor seating area, which is visibly maintained with pride. The tables had fresh flowers on them, the area shaded by a large tree, and I imagine the bistro lights give off a whimsical feel in the evening.

This place has fresh sourdough loaves daily. Their staff is attentive, professional and kind.

The food here was good, given it tasted fresh. I removed one star because, for my taste, the avocado tartine was overpowered by garlic to the point I couldn't taste much of the other ingredients. My husband also found parts of his dish extremely spicy (and we are used to and like spicy foods, but we tend to not enjoy when it overpowers other flavors).

If back in Ojai, I will return to Ojai Rotie and try out other dishes or request that they put that garlic/horseradish chutney on the side, so I can control how much to add to my bites of food!

I do highly recommend this place.

Ojai Roti is extremely satisfying but not amazing. The atmosphere is fun and the service is solid but the food delivery is slow. The garlic spread alone is reason enough to go (if you like garlic). The bread is amazing as are the potatoes and the watermelon cooler. The rotisserie chicken was dry but good. The cookies were overdone. All said, this place is worth a stop.
