by V L. on We had dinner here and it was pretty good. We had the all you can eat veggie plate which was very flavorful and had about 6 different types of dishes on it. For 2 girls, we went through about a plate and a half and then had to roll ourselves out of there. The space is pretty large with a dark bar area when you first walk in, then more tables and then ending with some pool tables. It's def a mellow atmosphere, a little on the grunge side. The place isn't a white table linens place but if you are in the area, it ranks high for very good dinner bar food.
by Beau Lankster on Undecided on a place to meet my dining companion, I just said "Meet me around Fillmore and Geary." I parked my car a few blocks away and started walking. Four ghetto thugs, three crack heads, two donated cigarettes, and a partridge in a pear tree later, I ducked into Rassela's to wait for my friend. I was pleasantly surprised to see they had a full Ethiopian menu! So I parked myself at the bar across from a very loud dude who reminded me of Chris Rock, only he was old, and drunk, and dressed in a purple suit. Ahhhh, the purple suit. I just realized this description fit almost everyone in the place last night. Well, there were only like four other people. And it was a Tuesday night. And the suit colors varied. Some were like, more maroon. Anyway, we really enjoyed the food. This kick-ass jazz band started around 9, but we left shortly thereafter, because we are old and need our sleep. But, I will return on a Saturday night to check out the band and get crunk on the dance floor. Also, I want to try the Vegetarian Sambusas. MMMmmmMMMmmm.
