Good Thai food in a great location. This is my second time here at Rosa's. The food I ordered both times were yummy and tasted authentic. This time I had Prawn Tom Yum Soup, Thick Red Chicken Curry, Roasted Duck Curry, a Coconut Rice, and to finish.. Mango Sticky Rice Pudding. The curries tasted so good, especially the thick red chicken curry (penang). I wasn't disappointed with any of the main dishes. I had Thai Iced Milk Tea to drink, which it my favourite! The reason for me coming to this restaurant a second time was for the Mango & Sticky Rice Pudding. I didn't realise this was on the menu the first time I visited so I have been eager to go back. When I was seated I noticed the Mango & Sticky Rice was crossed off on the desserts board so I immediately asked the waitress if they still had them, they confirmed they did and reserved 2 Mango & Sticky Rice dishes for my table (I wouldn't be here if I couldn't eat it!!!). But... It wasn't good. The sticky rice was perfect, it was as I remember it when I was in Thailand, but the mango.. I wasn't even sure it was a mango... lol. It was orange and very, very sweet. Nothing like the mango I received on the trips to Thailand, so low and behold I have deducted a star (otherwise my score would be 5/5!). When I want Thai food again I will come back to Rosa's because their main dishes are very tasty and authentic, the service is good and the atmosphere is nice too. You should go try them!

Wasn't too sure about Rosa's Thai Cafe and it always seemed to me to be a tourist type place because of its location in heart of Soho but I realised they had other branches. One being in Shoreditch which I passed frequently. My friend reccomended I go and I heard quite good things. Of course me being me I always go for the special. Today was the 'Gaeng Ped' - Roasted Duck Curry from the seasonal menu. Duck breast, with a rich sauce combined with the sweetness coming from pineapple, grapes and cherry tomatoes. It all worked well and gave me a sense of what I had built up to know about a mixture of combinations that Thai cooking has. The only thing is that I had to order rice separately which when you order a main dish just over £10 is a bit frustrating to me. My friend had a noodle dish that she thought was ok. I think I enjoyed my duck curry better. Anything with duck at an Asian eaterie is always music to my ears so I did enjoy it. Must add it's a small place. Upstairs tables were huddled and no more than 4 max I reckon. I waited 10 mins and we were seated downstairs which had a little more space. By he kitchen in the corner. I suppose a 'cafe' should be small and cosy anyway, though it was a strange ambiance downstairs as opposed to upstairs which had more vibrancy (though you can hear each other more downstairs!). Defo one to check out in the tourist part of town.

Mm, Rosa's you are so good. When I went the top floor was packed but the bottom one was empty. I had a tasty pad thai, which had its own unique kick. They had peanuts on the side and chilli pepper that had a salty spin. Absolutely delightful. The chicken was tender too! My friend had the sea bass. It was rather pricy, but it was an entire fish with a side of steamed vegetables. Being Asian, I'm extremely picky about fish, but this was absolutely scrumptious. A tempting choice for 14.5 pounds really. Maybe when my wallet doesn't hurt, I'll switch from the affordable pad thai to something more on the menu. It was a very untraditional Thai menu, including many foods I had not seen before. When I was leaving, there was a PACKED restaurant and a long waiting line. Now that's when you know you've gone to a good place on a Friday night.

rosa I love you and your tasty thai treats. Went in for the lunchtime dealio £6.50 for a course and drink...bloody brilliant! The tom yum soup was amazing and massive I couldn't finish it aall...this made me sad. Great service with friendly staff, I would defo's recommend it.

Rosa's is the sister restaurant to the original branch in the Liverpool Street area. They are currently offering a straightforward lunch option of any main dish with a drink for £6.50. The menu is Thai though a few of the noodle dishes were described as being cooked with spaghetti - not sure if this is a slight mis-translation or some attempt at fusion. As I was hungry and not in the mood for experimenting, I stuck with safe old pad thai and this old favourite of fried rice noodles topped with peanuts hit the spot. There weren't many customers here on a sunny Saturday afternoon. I hope business picks up as this seems to a tasty, cheap place for lunch.
