Food Quality

• "The food was excellent."
• "The food is amazing."
• "The food was sooo delicious! It was a trip back to Thailand!"
• "The food in Rosas is consistently very good! All of the curries are delicious (the jungle curry is a broth just so people are aware)."
• "Authentic thai food is good in taste."
• "The food was amazing! Aswin our waiter was attentive and courteous and the chef TJ worked up a green curry and a pad Thai that certainly lived up to the highest standards!!!"

Cons:

• "The Penang curry was one of the worse I’ve ever tried- watered down, chicken was over cooked, and lacking in depth of flavour."
• "Extremely overcooked sticky rice, extremely over cooked masaman curry (chicken texture chalky/powdery and very oily curry sauce)."
• "The panang was pretty watery and didn't taste of much, and my colleagues pad thai had a burnt flavour."
• "Cross contamination between meat and vegetarian options."
• "Rice overcooked."
• "The calamari and prawns were also nothing to shout about, quite bland."
• "The reason for the low ranking was mainly for worst pad krapow gai ever, well it wasn't even THAT dish and I can't believe they served it that way."

Value

Pros:

• "It’s chill vibes not too fancy and middle level priced not cheap or expensive but worth it!"

• "We paid £75 for 2 people."

Ambiance

• "Always cosy with a nice atmosphere."
• "Cosy with great atmosphere with everyone packed in on small tables."

• "Sitting on a stool is not my ideal way of eating."
• "Very cramped space in the basement."
• "Only downside was because of how small it is inside, lots of people walk in and stand around waiting to be seated / lots of delivery drivers coming in and out."
• "During the meal, it was really difficult to have a conversation because it was extremely loud in the restaurant due to the small space."
• "In fact it was so noisy that we could hardly hear each other across our small table."
• "Good food, but not the best seating and space. Sort of cramped and sort of open kitchen that looks cheap."
