PETCHABUNTamarindChef Saiphin’s home province has the perfect soil for tamarind. We use only the best of this sweet & sour fruit as it’s a crucial ingredient that can make or break a Pad Thai sauce.

Who is Rosa?Our first restaurant opened on the site of an East End ‘caff’ called Rosa’s. Out of respect for the previous owner (and as we had no money for new signs) we chose to keep the name.

Over the years, our Thai co-founder Chef Saiphin has also become known as ‘Rosa’ – and so the name keeps being associated with good, honest food.

KORATJasmine & sticky riceThe central plain provides plenty of sun and rain for Thailand to produce some of the best rice in the world. RATCHABURI

Pad Thai noodlesAll our rice noodles, comes from a 3rd generation family business that’s been making noodles for over 80 years.

PHETCHABURICoconut milk & coconut sugarThe creamiest coconut trees grow in the brackish coastal water areas of Phetchaburi.The best sugar farms in Thailand still hand-collect nectar from the coconut flower twice a day and cook it in a wood-fired kiln. Its subtle caramel flavour balances the heat of chilli.

SAMUT SONGKRAMFish sauce, oyster sauce & soy sauceThai food would not taste the same without the incredible fermented sauces of this coastal area south-west of Bangkok. It’s home to hundreds of small, family-owned factories.

TRANGCurry pastesThis southern Thai province is known for making curry pastes from the freshest lemongrass and galangal. We source all the Rosa’s chilli pastes from a husband and wife team in the Huai Yod district.

HOW TO ORDER THAI FOOD LIKE A PRO

Forget individual starters and mains. Order a spread of dishes for the whole table to share. A balanced meal would put crunchy next to smooth, light next to rich, mild next to spicy. Make sure everyone gets a portion of rice to spoon shared soups and curries onto. If you’ve ordered a spicy salad, get some sticky rice to tame the heat.

Quick bite on your own? Pick a Curry or Wok Star and make it a meal by adding your favourite type of rice from just £2.8

Here with a friend? Start with a sharing platter, pick a main each and order noodles, veg & rice to share.

Out with a big group? You lucky thing. This is what Thai meals were made for. Ask our staff to help you put together a feast to share.

Not keen on spice? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Our spicy dishes all come with a chilli rating and we’re happy to make milder versions wherever possible - just ask! But note that any dish involving curry paste is always going to be a bit hot.
