Best Thai food I've had so far in London. Came here for lunch, and luckily for me , they had specials! I ordered their legendary red curry with chicken. It came with side rice. The portions were on the smaller side (a little bigger than a cup of soup, but for 11 pounds, it's a good deal. The chicken red curry was spicy and creamy the way I love it! Taste reminded me of my favorite spot in Westwood California called emporium Thai. It was that good. Minus the portion size, everything else was pretty much perfect. read more

Rosa's Carnaby - Red curry lunch combo. Amazing ! - Thai Near Me - London, XGL

I was on a trip in England and was trying to find a place to eat. My friend and I stumbled upon this Thai food restaurant conveniently located near the attractions we wanted to see so we made the plan to visit here After visiting. I recommend you really think about the item you choose to order. As an example, I am used to ordering pad Thai from thai restaurants. It should've been a very safe bet for a new area. I should have read carefully of the menu as their pad thai uses a type of tamarind sauce. I know what tamarind tastes like so I thought it was fine to have a slightly sweet pad thai. It was a pool of sweet. I am used to pad thai having a slightly sweet peanut sauce in thai restaurants near where I live so I thought that was what it was going to be. Their whole sauce was tamarind based and I found it overwhelming. It was exactly what I ordered so I can not complain too much. I would say just watch what you order and give it a try read more

Very good food! We had 5 different dishes plus appetizers and everything was very good. Flavors were perfect, service was pleasant and efficient. Cute place. read more

Hands down the best Thai I've ever had. The beef stew was so tender and the broth was absolutely incredible. The pad thai portion is HUGE and delicious. The prawn doughnuts are a MUST with the sweet sauce they come with. I will be dreaming of this meal for a long time! read more

It was ok... definitely some of the more flavorful food I've had in the UK, but that isn't saying much. I have Thai regularly in the states and this place was disappointing in comparison. Service was ok, the place gets pretty busy. read more

I love how this restaurant has a kids menu - a starter and a main for 6.50. The kids loved their fried rice and pad saw eww. The only compliant they had was that the onion slices were huge and big enough for them to take out of their dish. :) I really enjoyed the pad say eww with veggies. My husband did not like the beef fried rice, but loved the Tom yum soup. Overall, the place was authentic. We should have tried more traditional dishes. The lemonade was a bit too sweet for my son. read more

A pretty good little thai spot. Some of the dishes had good flavour. A couple had to much sauce. The service was a little lacking but there are a couple different dining rooms on different levels. read more

Nice flavours, open late, great area, cute place! I liked their drunken noodles! read more

This is a small Thai restaurant, the food and service were both amazing! I would go back here everyday if I could.

Overall, I had a fantastic time. Both the pork skewers and the Thai green curry were amazing! I'll definitely return to try some of the other specialities, like Drunken Noodles and Pad Thai. read more

This cute litrle thai café gives me the feeling of a trevdy cafe and a home style small restaurant. The interiors are cute with small woofen tables and red stools and the staff is friendly and very attentive but what really makes this place worth while is the food. A bit pricey for my liking perhaps (£18 for my salad + a change beer and a £2 service fee that was added to the bill) but still a place a would come back to when I feel like having a quick thai meal. I ordered the spicy beef salad and it was great. The dish was served in twi isberg salad leaves and dressed just enough to cover the whole dish in deliciousness, the meat however was the star of the dish,really tender and hade a nice char grilled flavour. I asked to get my salad medium spicy and thats exacly what I got. Much appreciated! Although the place looks quite modern and trendy the food to me looks less so. The flavours are all there however a bit more love in terms of plating, ingredients and body in the dishes would make this place a five star place for me. To conclude - I recommend this place if you're looking for a quick and good thai meal - but not if you're looking to have a quiet romantic dinner! read more

Rosa's Carnaby - Spicy Beef Salad - Thai Near Me - London, XGL

Cute little thai cafe just off carnaby street. Food was lovely and not too expensive. Shared some starters - mention goes to the fried calamari, really worth it. Disappointment with the summer rolls. Soft shell crab was nothing to report back... I tried the red duck curry - full of flavours and not particularly spicy. The ladies tried the papaya salad was was very tasty too but too spicy for their taste - so beware that could ruin your meal. Worth a mention we spend quite a few hours one week evening but they never once tried to rush us out or to consumer more, much appreciated when in London more often then not restaurants will force you out after two hours. Will definitely go back to this cute little cafe and try the other branches! read more

When you got a Thai craving, you just gotta get, it if you know what I mean! The location is perfect for lunch or dinner in the midst of a shopping trip just off of Carnaby Street, and although not directly visible, a little searching gets you to the front doorstep of this gem! This little Thai joint is what happy things are made of! Although one could categorize it as modern Thai, the food is what really matters right? Upon entering, it vibes a modern minimalist Ikea meets San Francisco tech thinking lounge. The staff was friendly upon entry and seated us immediately! We were seating on the ground level which had a cozy atmosphere! We were four all together and decided to share a bunch of appetizers and have our own entree's in addition. Here is what we ordered: Appetizers: 1. Chicken Wings - were run off the mill chicken wings, were slightly overtired but still good! (Rating: 4 stars) 2. Crispy Prawns - amazing crisp on the outside and melted in our mouth from the inside. Went incredibly well with the sweet chili sauce. Best crispy prawns I have ever had (Rating: 5 stars) 3. Thai Calamari - although small portion, the calamari was well cooked and were fresh, highly recommend (Rating: 5 stars) Overall comment: Go for the Crispy Prawns and Thai Calamari.... but skip the chicken wings! Entrees: 1. Drunken Noodles - I ordered this to start with and was heavily disappointed as it was slightly overcooked drenched in soy sauce and was cooked with way too much basil sauce. After a few spoons I gave up and politely asked to return the dish. The waiter offered to bring me the other dish and I ended up trying the Pad Thai from another in our party and decided to order it to be on the safe side. Would not recommend, even though the chicken was tender and cooked well. (Rating: 2 stars) 2. Pad Thai - regular ole pad thai, but delicious nonetheless, the flavors, veggies and chicken were made well and ingredients were fresh. (Rating: 4 stars) 3. Salmon Red Curry - incredible! Salmon melted in your mouth and was made to perfection. The red curry was a perfect compliment to the to the spice and the Thai Herbs (Rating: 5 stars 4. Grilled Chicken with Lemongrass - unique dish, and the lemongrass balanced the grilled chicken perfectly. The Marinade really stood out in flavor and texture, and the spicy dipping sauce with the steamed veggies also complimented the dish very well (Rating: 5 stars) Overall comment: Try the unique dishes on the menu, especially the Salmon Red Curry and the Grilled chicken with lemongrass! I would overlook the Pad Thai and avoid the Drunken Noodles if possible! The Thai Iced that I ordered was also scrumptious and wasn't too sweet! (5 stars) The Thai Iced Coffee that was ordered was good, but a bit on the stronger side. (4 stars) The staff was highly accommodating and friendly! Could not fault them for anything. Even with the returned dish was done politely and they were very nice about it! Price was reasonable in the area of Soho. (Rating: 5 stars) As a weird side note: I just want to mention that the coat situation is a bit awkward because some tables have jacket hooks behind them while others do not. There is also a section at the back of the ground level with multiple hooks that you can hang your jackets which each jacket shared a hook with multiple other jackets, was a bit odd and cumbersome to find your jacket at the end. The jacket situation arises because of the stand-alone stools with no backs. Easy remedy in my opinion, the restaurant should really switch those out for chair with backs or at least put jacket hook options at every table (not just a few). Great Thai in a great location! Would definitely recommend! read more

Great location and good for a decent Thai food in the land of fish and chips. Try their shrimp chips - delicious with peanut sauce. Pork skewers are yummy too. There are a few table for outdoor seating and good for people watching if you can get them. read more

Small Thai restaurant located in Carnaby. Our top choices were packed and wait listed so we went here as an outdoor table opened up. I would say that overall it's not a bad place for a meal, but I think it's just above average Thai food, and I'd give 3.5 stars. We have great Thai food in the US so maybe the rating is appropriate for London. read more

Delicious thai food in a casual setting. My recommendation is the pineapple rice which is served in half a pineapple! it's too fun to not get. missed out of the 5-star because of noisy and cramped basement seating which desperately lacks in ambience. Always push to be seated on the ground floor! read more

I was so excited to go and eat Thai food because i haven't had it for a while because I've been traveling for 2 months. I LOVE Thai food. I eat Thai food all the time. This place was beyond a disappointment. Everything lacked flavor and the labor of love. The highlighted butternut red curry and the Tom yum soup were watery! No depth in flavor. We asked them to mix the two dishes together to take home. Now I have to bring my leftovers home and fix it so I can enjoy it. Sad to say, I paid for an unsatisfactory meal and my money has been wasted. read more

A good, though not especially classy Thai. Quite jazzy and chic. Replaces the earlier Mangosteen on the same site. Food's pretty good. Interestingly there's only one beer on offer. read more

Rosas is a fantastic little Thai place located in the Carnaby section of London, nearby Regents St and Oxford St. I have returned here three times over various trips from the States because I know I like their food so much. Their Thai Tom Yum soup is delicious, the right amount of heat and fragrant spice, balanced and delicious. Their curries are delicious, both the Penang curry and the Thai Green curry, again balancing flavor with spice perfectly. The service is always a bit spread out, as they're consistently busy, but that's to be expected for such a busy area of London, and I've never had trouble getting a table, which is fantastic. The price point is a bit higher than maybe a hole-in-the-wall takeaway, but the ambiance is a bit higher-end and justifies the cost in my opinion. I will definitely return here on future trips! read more

This review is for lunch and mainly for the pad thai dish. Rosa's Carnaby is one of my go-to lunch spots in Soho. First, the pad thai is my favourite in London. I find many restaurants make pad thai too sweet for my taste. Rosa's makes the perfect pad thai. i also like the chilli garlic basil stir fry. I've also tried the spicy scallops with egg noodles - it's good but too much sauce for my taste. i mainly come here for quick, friendly lunch service and tasty pad thai with shrimp. This place gets busy between 1:00-1:30 but that's true of most places in Soho. If you come here around 12:00-12:30, you won't have a problem finding a table for 2-4 people. read more

So good!!! Be aware if there are little peppers next to the food hot is hot ! Place just had a good vibe

This place is a flavor explosion! Husband and I were wandering around Carnaby and decided to stop here. We'd decided we hadn't had Thai in awhile and the menu looked yummy. It was a Friday night at dinner and we didn't have reservations. We got seated within 5 minutes, score! Husband ordered a London IPA, and I a flavor infused water. We decided to go crazy and get 2 entrees and share them both. Drunken noodles with chicken and green curry with beef and a side of coconut rice. So. Much. Flavor. It was spicy but not too spicy (we love spicy so some might think it's too hot.) Every bite was good on its own, but mixed together the flavors compliment so well. We are only here for a few days and I would go back during our same visit and we never do that!!! read more

It was OK Thai food and hit the spot for something fast in an area where a lot of the sit-down restaurants have long waits. I'd eat it if I was craving Thai food, but I wouldn't come across town just to eat here. read more

I met a friend for dinner and she suggested this place. I'm not really a Thai food fan, but I figured I needed to man up. This place was great and I've been back again since then. I really like it, I like the ambience, the food, the drinks. Arguably it is a little "cosy", but every time I've been it has been exactly what I was in the mood for. Love this place. read more

I enjoyed our meal here - although service was a bit slow at first as they seemed to have forgotten about us. The Thai food tasted fresh and not greasy which was a massive bonus. Not the best Thai food I've ever had but I'll definitely come here again! read more

Great little thai place in the heart of Carnaby. They're always really busy around lunch, so expect to be sharing a table with others or have a bit of a wait. Their menu is quite small, but all of their options are fantastic. I think you get quite a lot for the price. I had the green veggie curry and it was delicious - just the right amount of spice and was loaded with veggies! Service wasn't the best - they really try to rush you in and out, but overall good lunch spot. read more

Rosa's has a very nice selection of thai food. Always up for it

Mediocre. We arrived around 8:15 and, understandably, the restaurant was packed for the Saturday dinner rush. Without any issues, we spoke to the man at the front desk and he told us it would be a 30 minute wait for our size of party (4 people). We asked if we could be put on a list, and he made it very clear that there is NO list, and that we need to stay near in order to get our table when it would become available. So, we stood right by the front desk and waited kindly for our table to become available. About 15 minutes later, a line had begun to form behind us. Some parties of various sizes were behind us, however they were waiting like us as well. As time went on, tables began to clear and a table that fit around 6 opened up. Being at the front of the line, we expected to be placed at that table. Unexpectedly, a couple from the end of the line walked to the front desk, said something to the man, and sat down at this table for 6 that had just been cleared. Yes, you heard that right, they cut everybody in line, including our group of 4 that had 2 children in it. Astounding. The staff mentioned nothing to us about this and did not offer an apology that we had been cut in line. Only a few moments later we were seated in a nice spot by the window. The issue we had with the restaurant is that they had no problem letting a couple cut everybody else in line. Since it was made clear there was no list, the only conclusion we could come to is that the staff allowed a couple to cut everybody else in line. As far as the food, many of the dishes lacked flavor, such as the fried rice. The Thai Milk Tea was good, however slightly watery. The dessert of Sticky Rice & Mango was quite good and was great on the palette. All in all, it doesn't feel good to be regarded as less than a different customer, which put a damper on the experience. We had been waiting the longest and should have been seated first. If you are looking for Thai food, this restaurant is mediocre. Nothing great, however it suffices. read more

one star off for prices. expensinve for a miser like me! ahahah! they have pretty good food, the menu that is on the wall are pretty legit. as an avid thai food fan, some of the dishes i have never come across.i forgot what i ate but i'd say it's pretty good. decor is pretty contemporary, give you the feeling eating at a diner. sidetracking here- friend of mine said that the waitress are often pretty. mine was alright. hahah! read more

Tasty enough, but exceptionally skimpy portions. The "mango apple juice" was two sips of some sweet stuff out of a box and a glassful of ice. Spicy beef soup hardly had any beef, noodles, or green beans in it, although the broth was good. Service unfriendly. But atmosphere nice enough. read more

Great food, great service at really, really affordable prices. Easy to get a table at lunch time during the week.

A little bit too hype as for a Thai cuisine place and for my taste. But food is very tasty , very original and served on lovely metal plates. Venison Thai Curry is masterpiece. If only the prices could be a little lower .... read more

Really bloody lovely. Slightly on the expensive side for Thai food but actually really worth it. Very relaxed atmosphere and the service is great too. The chairs could be a little bit more comfortable, but other than that it's one of my favourite places to eat in Soho. read more

I love the coconut rice here! The dish that I got came out pretty quickly and it was delicious. I got here pretty late for dinner, but they were still open (so glad they were!!) Only downside is that pretty much every place has their doors open so you smell cigarette smoke while eating. read more

Came here with my two toddlers for a late lunch and couldn't have made a better choice. The waiter gave us a quiet corner and was very accommodating. He even came over with smaller spoons for the kids to use. Usually I have to request plastic spoons and forks myself but the waiter was step ahead of me. Food was awesome too. The iced coffee was just sweet enough...loved it!! The pineapple fried rice had fresh shrimp, squid and mussels and they were decently sized (not the scraps you usually find in fried rice). Veg pad Thai was good but could've used a little bit more seasoning. read more
