Rosa's (Soho)

• Just because they are more popular and did some refurnishment
• T look like a standard Thai restaurant but this is part of its appeal
• The food is fresh and light with snatches of the authentic tastes of Thailand&rsquo
• Portion sizes are substantial but this doesn&rsquo
• Instead the curry dishes are not overwhelmingly large and saucy
• The stir fries are not just piles of bean sprouts
• Though the food is so scrumptious I would suggest trying their starters as well
• They also have various lunch deals on offer which are sign posted outside on a charming old school chalk board
• The food served is ideal for both lunch and dinner and bound to cater to a variety of taste buds
• I was looking for another place to eat but as London Soho was too crowded and my stomach was getting desperate I suddenly reached this small and cute place which menu seemed to be all of my taste
• We started with Vegetable Spring Rolls
• A beautiful Pineapple that was filled with seafood and jasmine rice
• I found Rosa's by a chance when I was in Westfield's food court because my mum wanted asian food for dinner
• My go to meal is always prawn padthai
• Nothing goes wrong with this classic Thailand dish
• The portion is really satisfying plus it is considerably cheap for eating out a good food in Central London
• Do not put a lot of chilli powder onto your dish even though you are a spicy food lover like me because the chilli powder is really spicy
• The price as I said before it is cheap for that satisfying portion (£
• The restaurant is rather small and for the first timer
• The ambience in Rosa's is really friendly and homey
• From the cheaper ones and the more expensive ones but Rosa's is definitely my fav thai restaurant in London
• It's one of those places in summer with a little cluster of people out on the pavement here drinking Chang beers waiting for a table
• So I decided to actually book ahead and see if it deserves to be on my list of London's best Asian restaurants along with Blue Elephant and Wabi
• The informal space strikes a balance between cosy and crowded and upon entering we were wedged in between a table of American jocks and a bunch of screeching girls
• I don't know if it was the acoustics
• Everyone was rather loud and it was difficult to maintain a conversation without venturing into yelling territory
• The employees are really caring they will accommodate your needs
• Sometimes there might be a queue because the place is small but worth it
• Ordered the duck curry and their special vegetable dish which is stir fry egg plants
• The food came pretty quick which was great because we were running a bit late
• The duck curry was very nice and refreshing
• Sticky rice was fragrantly soft and chewy
• The egg plant stir fry was nice enough but not too greasy
• A perfect pick for catching up with friends after a long time or a quick meal before heading to the theatre or a night out
• The restaurant is not too big but looks organized &
• Main course was tom yum seafood
• My dessert was mango &
• So I have never had to deal with having children around the house
• My flatmate is lucky enough to have a younger sister with whom she gets on very well
• Now that Amber is 18 and a student in London
• Remember we were all young once so there&rsquo
• Cheap and cheerful was an absolute requirement and a quick look over the menu online meant that Rosa&rsquo
• T rate Thai Square or Busaba Eathai so was also on the look out for a new cheap Thai restaurant of choice
• My only reservation about going for Thai food was that I was lucky enough to spend part of January in Thailand and so had been a bit spoiled by the incredible breadth of cuisine they have there
• As we realised that of the prices on the menu were higher than those we'd seen on Rosa's website
• Chicken satay skewers are always a safe option
• The satay sauce was served cold
• The flavour was rich enough to keep me happy
• So happy I scraped the bowl with my spoon to finish up all the leftover sauce
• I find myself approaching Thai restaurants with lower expectations than I once had
• I hoped Rosa's would surprise me with a Pad Thai as good as the one I can no longer have
• My prawn Pad Thai was well cooked and very filling
• 10 is way too much for a noodle dish with nothing exceptional to say for itself
• The balance of price and quality is too sore a point
• Keep in mind that portions are really small
• I have never been treated with such disrespect in a restaurant in my life
• This may look like a low budget Mom and Pop Thai cafe but believe me the quality of food served were just amazing
• The Quality of food is always amazing
• Eveyr dish I've tried is flavourful and authentic
• These felt a little expensive for what you get but are nicely seasoned
• The skewers come with super sweet tamarind sauce which provides an ideal contrast to the meat
• Pork always does so well coupled with sweet notes in my books
• We got a table in the lower ground which was a bit cramped but the food was good and we enjoyed it
• Tofu and vegetables pad thai as the main course and sticky rice with mango for the dessert were definitely good choices
