Rosas Thai London Fields - (Near Hackney, South East)

4 /5 Coralie Becaud: good food and friendly service. drinks were great too (the lychee spritz is amazing). it was SO cold inside the restaurant tho :(

1 /5 Ayoub: I placed an order and what arrived was an absolute mess. The curry containers leaked badly, soaking through the paper bags and dripping everywhere (on my hands, the floor, and the kitchen counter). The bag was so drenched it was falling apart at the bottom from the moment the delivery guy wanted to hand it over to me. What’s frustrating is the complete lack of thought that went into the packaging. You don’t pack food for delivery the same way you do for someone picking it up and going for a stroll. Delivery requires extra care: sturdier packaging, double-bagging, leak-proof containers, or at least a protective layer to contain any spills. None of that was done here. To the store manager: I’m upset by this experience! You’ve failed big time, shown carelessness and a disregard for how food traveled from your kitchen to me as your customer. I spent so much time cleaning up my kitchen and the hallway, whilst trying to save as much food as possible. As such, I lost appetite because it’s hard to enjoy a meal when it arrives in such chaos. I won’t trust your place ever again!

4 /5 Eletherios Kinigos: Overall, fantastic authentic Thai food. Having lived in Chiang Mai for 7 years, this is the closest I have had to real Thai food outside of Thailand. Location is a few footsteps from London Fields Station. Small branch with only 8 tables or so. Staff all polite and helpful but unfortunately understaffed. Only 2 slight negatives, kitchen is right by the tables so you will leave smelling of food, not a real issue, and quite pricey. Albeit the portions are huge, and I mean huge, our meal cost £93 for 2. Prawn crackers were delicious, very large portion and realistically enough for 4 person as a light starter snack. Satay was ok, but not exceptional. Thai squid was delicious, light batter with a salt/pepper/chilli coat, a must get starter. Pad Thai portion was huge! It only comes as a main meal, would be ideal if there was a small side plate version but absolutely delicious nonetheless. Penang curry was also fantastic and also the morning glory is another must order (although the leaf from the vegetable was removed which is the best part). Star of the show for me was the Thai holy Basil pork belly, exceptional taste, and spicy as it should be!! Although the pork belly would be crispy when ordered in Thailand, the meat was incredibly soft so it was just as good. Overall I would recommend Rosa’s however, do not over order ad the portions are huge and the bill will also be the same!!

5 /5 Ian Dawson: A real gem! Situated in the railway arches under London Fields station this place was a great find. The humble surroundings hide a fantastic kitchen which serves up authentic Thai dishes served hot and fast. We decided immediately on leaving that we are going back in the next few days....
