Rosalie Genus opened Rosalie’s Restaurant and Shabazz Bakery in 2007. It is an “A Grade” restaurant near Spruce Street on Market Street in Inglewood. The blue awning and large lettering outside make the location easy to find. There is a clean, comfortable dining area with booths and small tables, or food can be ordered to takeout.

Rosalie’s offers standard Shabazz fare like bean soup, fish and veggie burgers, fish and veggie dinners, salads, bean pies and cheese pies. There is also a separate and very affordable raw food menu. I was dining with family members and relished the opportunity to introduce them to something new, so we ordered from the raw food menu. What a wonderful choice.

We ordered the bean soup, the raw food sampler, grilled tilapia and blueberry cheese pie. The raw food samplers come in half- pound and one-pound portions for $5.00 and $10.00 respectively.

The food is nicely presented and includes carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, sunflower seed corn, and greens (in our case, kale). All vegetables are seasoned to perfection and chopped, ground or shredded. Each item had a distinct flavor of its own and there was no salty or sugary flavoring. We were a group of five ranging in age from 50 to 80, and everyone loved every item on the table, including my father who is an incredible cook with a discerning palette.

We ordered grilled tilapia to round out the meal, which was moist and very tasty.

Rosalie’s Restaurant and Shabazz Bakery is a fine, affordable place for dining in the restaurant or on the go. An entire cooked meal or healthful raw vegetable cuisine with dessert can be enjoyed for under $20.00.
