We had a pleasant meal at Rosa's after a long day of planes, trains, and automobiles (well, it was a black taxi, but still...). Tired after a long day of travel, and looking for something different, we discovered Rosa's about 1 km from our hotel near the Thames. We were greeting and promptly seated at a table outside (it was late May, and the weather was cooperative). Our server, detecting our exhaustion, was pleasant and jovial. He quickly prepared and delivered our drinks, followed by an excellent meal which had a thai panang curry, a thai red curry, and a thai green curry (the three of us decided to sample the entire color spectrum). The meal was excellent and we left sated and ready for a good night's sleep. read more

Tasty masanman curry they made for me with chicken instead of beef. Someone else at the table had noodle dish they loved. Stay away from the green papaya salad. It did not have a fresh light taste that I was expecting and it was overdressed. The service was very nice. Unfortunately, the table was sticky when I sat down and we asked them if they would wipe it down and she said it was just going to get sticky again because it's the finish on the table. read more

Lovely spot if you're looking for some Thai food with quick service! The decor is super colorful and a welcome delight. Nicky was our server and super attentive. She even gave us some chips on the house! Got the khao mun gai and it was good. You soak the rice in the broth and can customize spice levels accordingly. Decently priced and overall good spot for some Asian food. read more

Service was lovely. That staff is very attentive and answered all my questions. We got the red curry and the flavor was nice and balanced. Could have been spicier but that is more preference. Make a reservation as this place gets busy. read more

I really enjoyed my meal at Rasa's. I had the pineapple duck curry and the Tom Yum soup. The food is delicious. I would definitely come back. read more

Our family had very mixed reviews about this restaurant. I thoroughly enjoyed my curried bass but everyone else did not enjoy their noodle dishes. They were undersauced and underseasoned. It was like eating dry, flavorless noodles. The chicken also had an odd texture. I probably wouldn't return to Rosa's if my travels bring me back to London. read more

While not upscale (it's in an outdoor shopping mall), Rosa's Thai served very tasty vegan food (several good vegan offerings on the menu) in a venue with decent ambience. Staff were attentive to the food allergy in our party. They directed us to scan a QR code to get a version of their menu that filtered out allergens, which was helpful. I wasn't super hungry but ended up eating the whole thing. Doesn't escape the sticky table and floor phenomenon that plagues most casual restaurants, but the loos were well-stocked and clean. read more

Delicious as always, just as good and consistent for some authentic Thai cuisine. Minced chicken for pad kra prow is always a great sign. Also want to give a shout out to the host who was dealing with a party of 7 who showed up but whose table wasn't quite ready. They kept insisting like "how could my table not be ready, I made a reservation at this time" and the host just said give it 10-15 minutes, they're finishing dessert. It was like this group of 7 had never been to a restaurant before. But the host was great with how he dealt with it and then was able to seat us (just 2 of us) and was able to put this annoying customer out of mind so quickly. The food was incredible as always - pad khee mao and pad kra prow with minced chicken in both dishes. So much flavor, great spice, proper Thai. Loved it. read more

As I was out in London site seeing of course I grew a bit hungry. I wanted thai and after doing some searching on Yelp, I landed on Rosa's Thai. What an awesome establishment. I went during lunch time and it was extremely vibrant both inside as well outside on their patio. It was a beautiful autumn day so I opted to sit outside. The service was a bit slow but always kind and helpful. This restaurant has an awesome lunch menu with specials however, I ordered the chicken pad thai and a cocktail (it was 5pm somewhere lol). The chicken pad thai was so tasty! It had nice bold flavor, packed with peanuts, sprouts , chicken, fried egg and veggies! I also requested a chili sauce on the side to add spice which really elevated the dish! If you're in the area and want a good lunch and a tasty cocktail, Rosa's is your place!! read more

I gave a fourbecause, I ordered Thai delivery and I didn't receive any utensils. I ordered red curry, no rice. I called and they were closed by then. But They answered earlier which was good.. explained the issue..,she showed empathy, but I had to ask what the solution could be, she then says we can come the next day for another meal . But I think it should have been offered instead of me asking for a solution. However, She was nice, food was really good. Things happen, it was probably the last order of the day. I ordered Pad Thai and Red Curry. The Pad Thai was really good... a read more

I don't know if it's a London thing or not but the food is very salty. I liked the fried egg but the salt was too much for me

Rosas what a nice surprise you are! Delicious authentic thai in a charming and cozy spot.We were promptly seated which was great luck. The staff was a bit standoffish but the food was amazing and delicious. A must try! read more

Yikes. I made the assumption that Thai food in any diverse country has to be good, but I am spoiled by the quality I get in NYC because...the dishes I had at Rosa's Thai Cafe were like the Panda Express of Thai Food...very colonized. Bland, none of the sharp contrasts of sweet and salt, or sour notes I've come to expect from Thai food and I've never seen Pad See Ew with cabbage? It's always chinese broccoli. Just weird and meh. Their The veggie app platter was good, I'd definitely recommend apps here. The drinks were fine. But the curries and noodles - no. The service and ambiance was lovely, so if you are just looking for a vibe, a snack and friendly service - this is a solid chain. If you want authentic thai food...I'd reconsider. read more

I have dined at various branches of Rosa, but the day I want to discuss was not the day we ate in Rosa Covent Garden...as we ultimately COULD NOT eat there, as it turned out - about which more later. It was September 5th, 2025 lunchtime. My friends from America were coming to lunch after visiting the British Museum, and they asked me to choose a place and get a table for us to eat. The place was crowded, I was waiting outside for 20-25 minutes. When my turn came, the woman (she said her name was Nikki) told me that I could either sit upstairs or wait for another 15-20 minutes. I asked whether I could take the table upstairs but on condition that if my friends didn't want to sit upstairs we could be seated downstairs, as one of my friends has Parkinson's. Nikki reacted in a decidedly rude and exasperated manner, saying - "I have to wait then for downstairs tables to be clear". It was late (almost 3.00?) and I told her- "in that case I will go upstairs". There was a very rude couple behind me who were angrily impatient already, and Nikki started to talk to the lady as though I was not even there, literally complaining to her and the man about me! I told her again that I would take the table upstairs, but should my friend show any mobility issues, we would have to change. This started Nikki grumbling loudly..Once I came upstairs, I saw she had been lying about there being no empty tables. Quietly, I waited for my friends to come and join me. They arrived, it was the first time we had met face to face, after years of online interactions. We ordered a drink, which came presently. Nikki came to take our orders. After she had noted the order, I very politely told her that the way she had spoken ill about me to another client, in my presence, was not nice. Nikki started speaking angrily, every sentence beginning with a 'Listen!' We were tired and hungry, but she wouldn't stop, so I asked to see the manager. She exclaimed, 'What manager? I am the manager!' I must say I have never seen a manager who herself escalates matters and declares, "If you complain about me, I will not serve you food." I should point out that at that stage a waitress standing behind Nikki was silently gesturing and pleading with me not to set her off further. At this point my friend with Parkinsons was really exhausted and hungry, and pleaded - 'Can we just have the food?' Nikki exclaimed, 'You can't complain. You started this...you did that..' We had had enough by then, and so requested the bill for the drink and told her we were not going to eat. She said - 'Oh, take it- the drink is on me, you don't have to pay for this.' My friends and I were adamant, we wanted nothing from her. She ran downstairs, (to our surprise) and we quickly got down the stairs to get out of the place. We saw that she had run to that same short-tempered couple who were eating downstairs and she was busy talking about us and taking numbers from them in case there were complaints! Hah! That was the end of 'Rosa' food ( and Nikki) in our lives, no more. read more

What a wonderful experience. Thank you to the regular - a Polish girl where ever you are and whoever you are !!!! Great food and even better atmo. Thank you for the good good vibes . Jazz and Nate California read more

Went recently near the Tower Bridge location. They have several locations. The wait staff was friendly and polite. The atmosphere was cozy and also open. The food was the main attraction. Everything that I ordered was delicious. Would recommend the restaurant to those who want a reasonably priced meal near a busy tourist spot! read more

Incredible food! The green curry was the best I've ever had and the Pad Kra Pao was unbelievable!

Tried to get a table when I was here and they said they were booked when tables were open online. They let a couple in behind me who had no reservation. Not sure if it was because I was alone or that I didn't match their clientele. Don't normally leave reviews but this is horrible business practice. read more

What surprised me the most about Rosa's Thai Cafe is that by the looks of this tiny restaurant, I would have thought that it was a small family run business. When we walked in, every table was filled and while we had to wait about 10 minutes, we were seated upstairs in a very cramped dining area. I'm not complaining! In fact we were seated right next to the kitchen( by their only air conditioning-unit and our waitresses was wonderfully helpful making sure that what we ordered wasn't too spicy and still inquiring if either of us had any additional food allergies. I noticed they had a website and a FB page and then to my surprise found that they have restaurants all over London. If the rest are as good as this one, you should pay them a visit. We only ordered four dishes but everything we ate from the jasmine rice to the curry salmon was delicious. read more

Just left this place without ordering as hostess was rude and inattentive. She sat us beside an extremely dirty table with a fold up bicycle practically on our table. Waited a few mins and no menu. I asked to be seated at another table and she pointed to another table on the other side of the dirty table. I said no and my partner and I left Do not go here unless you want a dirt rude experience read more

Not good! Weak for Thai food by any standard. Not even the sauces were great. I would walk to find another Thai this seems like cheap chain food read more

In London for a few days from US and found this cute little Thai place not too far from the London Eye. The food was exceptional, especially the spring roll dipping sauce. If we lived here it would be on our weekly restaurant destination list. read more

Rosa's Thai Cafe is a lovely spot to get some dinner, whether it's before seeing a show (we went to Matilda!) or when you're in the area. It's surprisingly big and the staff is very nice. We got the pad Thai and the pad see ewe which were both super yummy. For sides we got chicken satay skewers and fried spring rolls. Finally, for dessert we got their custard(?) tart which came with a drink and it was incredible. I would definitely recommend going here :) I'll be coming back! read more

We've had great food and service in the past at a Rosa's. Unfortunately, this time, not so great. Appetizer platter came out like warm and mains weren't as good as previous visits. Perhaps they are getting too big and have too many locations to provide expected service for their pricing read more

I walked in the rain braving Storm Dennis to eat here, so I guess I had high expectations. However, here are the issues I had: Service: The server (Kevin, from the receipt) turned me away saying it would be atleast a 40 min wait. Undeterred, I wanted to order a take away. He thrust the menu in my already full hands (I was carrying a bag and coat). A min later, a couple came in asking for a table (and they didn't have a reservation either), and he said "give me a min let me check". And then realised I was still there and magically he found two tables to seat both the new party and me. I was just thankful to get a seat as I was super hungry. I ordered a lot of food (and I asked if I could take away one of the dishes and eat the rest here), and Kevin dumped everything on the table (which was super small so had no space, and I had to move some of the dishes to a chair), and said "I'll give you a box and you can do whatever you want." He didn't offer to bring in water or sauces/chilli oil, and I helped myself to those from the kitchen counter. Basically, his attitude was "be grateful I gave you a table, now don't expect good service." All the while I could see his behaviour was better with the other customers. So I don't know if he was racist (I'm a small brown woman) or it's just him. At the end of it all, he had the audacity to add the 12.5% service charge (which I paid). Food: I ordered (all vegan) Tom Yum soup, Green Curry with Jasmine rice and drunken noodles. I asked them all to be spicy. They were all very bland, tasteless (Drunken noodles especially was oily and tasteless), and had very minimal flavour. read more

Such an excellent establishment. I was visiting in London when I tried this place, and I basically stumbled upon it by accident, but wow I am so glad that I did. The service is wonderful. The servers are kind, thoughtful, and attentive. The space is clean and cozy with good lighting and a nice atmosphere. Wooden tables and unique bowls make the aesthetic complete. Great for an Instagram post. I recommend Rosa's for lunch or dinner. I ordered the fried rice, which had lots of fresh greens in it, and as a vegetarian, I absolutely loved that. Plus it was very flavorful. Such a big portion that I ate it for lunch and then reheated it for dinner too. Very reasonably priced. I also ordered a tea that was magnificent!!! To top it off, it came in an adorable pot and really completed my Thai experience. The server kept tea coming endlessly as I sat there. I would go back here regularly if I lived in London! read more

Love Rosa's Thai. Food is great and it is so clean!! This might seem pretty random, but you know how there is always dust or crumbs between the bench and wall at a restaurant? Not here! I'm a bit OCD, so I always notice these things, and what I noticed at Rosa's is that it was super clean. So I didn't have to stress about getting my jacket dirty as I stuffed it in the corner. Haha. Their bathroom is also super clean, and I think that's always a good sign that they take really good care of their kitchen too. We've usually come for their lunch special, which includes an appetizer and main course for about 9gbp or so. Everything is pretty good. Can't really go wrong with any of the choices and I think I've tried everything on the menu. Haha. I wasn't a huge fan of the butternut squash curry, but that's only because I was craving some protein when I ordered it. But it's great for vegetarians or when you feel like going meatless. The noodles are yummy and the chicken curry is delicious too. Definitely a regular here. read more

Wonderful food and great services. At the heart of Soho and close to all theatre in west end

Decent mid-price Thai food. I ordered the drunk noodles and spring rolls. Seating was located on the first floor although it seems like they have a second floor available. Bathroom is up the stairs on the third floor. Service could have been a bit friendlier. Otherwise it was cozy and I enjoyed visiting. read more

Rosa's Thai Cafe - Drunk noodles - Thai Near Me - London, XGL

Rosa's was wonderful. My friend and I were looking for a place to eat before seeing a West End show and Rosa's was in our ideal location and price range. We started by splitting red curry with tofu and fried rice -- both were delicious but we especially loved the fried rice. We came really hungry so we agreed to stuff ourselves with more carbs -- we ordered sides of coconut rice and plain noodles. The rice was a great compliment to the curry, but the noodles were very under-seasoned, so I'd recommend going with one of the entree noodles if that's what you're in the mood for. Overall, a great experience! read more

Try the Aubergine. You'll freak out. It's so good! Need to come here again... Friendly stuff, fantastic food, fair prices. Just go there! :-) read more

The green curry with chicken is fabulous. I am eating here on my own tonight, and feel perfectly comfortable. No need to even distract myself with a phone or a book. Great place to sit and watch people and eavesdrop on conversation! read more

Small little thai restaurant in the heart of soho. This place is so good, and not $$$$! I got the yellow curry (forgot the menu name) with tofu and the curry was very rich! My friend got the drunken noodles and said she would get them again. These plates are shareable (which we'd keep in mind next time) so it's nice you can do family style and try a little bit of everything. The restaurant is sort of small but it's pretty quaint and walking distance to a bunch of other places. Great for small groups who just want to have lunch and go shopping aftet read more

I only got takeout, but it was good food! Smaller portions for a higher price, so I wouldn't bank on being able to share a dish.

The food was good but overpriced. As I travel for business, I often eat alone. It seems that many restaurants save the least desirable table for a party of one. Before I know it I am uncomfortably sandwiched between two parties of two. I couldn't get out to use the toilet without both parties having to move. I passed a good Thai restaurant on the way back to my hotel. Every item on that menu was a good £3-£4 cheaper than Rosa's. The food was not exceptional enough to warrant the price. read more

Small but super delicious. Very nice staff. Maybe they could have knives but otherwise it's a great modern Thai cuisine. read more

This has to be the worst Thai food I ever had. There was No spices in the Pad Thai. It was noodles, sugar, crushed peanuts and bell peppers. No kidding. My wife ordered the green beef curry. She is hoping that was beef because it was spongy. The curry had the same consistency as water. The iced tea is instant and they sugar it like a southern grandma. We used our water to make it drinkable. The waiter disappeared after we ordered. This is a hole in the wall, so be warned read more
