"Depending on the size of the group, order a whole rotisserie chicken meal to share (a whole chicken runs for $35, a half for 25, a quarter for $18). The meal comes with diners' choice of two sides (we liked the schmaltzy pommes rotisseries and caramelized cauliflower); beet-stained lift (pickled turnips); garlicky whipped toum; and za'atar-rubbed manouche bread. The Mezza Mezza meze platter will round out the table nicely with its mix of dolma, tuma cheese, olives, persian cucumbers, lift, and, yes, more grilled manouche."
"All the dips hit, but if you have to be discerning, go for the charred eggplant dip and classic Lebanese muhammara - the latter a can't-put-it-down blend of roasted red pepper, walnuts, pomegranate, and toasted breadcrumbs. On the wine side, choose something juicy and bold, like the "The Optimist" Grenache blend from Sanguis Wines in Santa Barbara, or a local syrah from Chief Peak Vineyard in Ojai."
An expansive patio fronts Ojai Rôtie, a rotisserie chicken restaurant blending Lebanese and French influences. Chicken meals are designed for sharing; whole, half, and quarter chickens are available with two chosen sides and additions such as pickled turnips, garlicky whipped toum, and za'atar-rubbed manouche bread. The Mezza Mezza platter assembles dolma, tuma cheese, olives, persian cucumbers, lift, and grilled manouche. Dips include charred eggplant and a standout Lebanese muhammara of roasted red pepper, walnuts, pomegranate, and toasted breadcrumbs. The wine list focuses on local producers and bold, juicy selections; wines are ordered from a central patio 'wine box'. The setting suits relaxed lunches and wine-soaked group dinners.
