Rosa's Thai Nottingham in Erewash

Friendly reception (had pre-booked) on arrival and shown straight to a table and issued menus and drinks cards. Wait staff all very friendly and efficient. It's the food that lets it down! Starters were brought quickly but the (overpriced) starter platter was mostly garnish; the 2 chicken satai and 2 pork skewers were interchangeable (but the sweet chilli dipping sauce was very good), the tiny portion of battered squid was well cooked. The Thai fish cakes were tasty but lacking in chilli and lemon grass. Mains were also overpriced and the small portion of beef massamann curry was lacking in flavour, had only 2 small cubes of beef in it and the sauce had an oily layer on top, as if the coconut milk had split. The pad Thai was average with two small pieces of chicken in it but lots of noodles. Sadly there was no omelette, flavour was again lacking and the whole thing was excessively sweet. Somewhere in the curries there was an underlying taste reminiscent of dried sage but there was a distinct lack of traditional Thai flavours like Holy basil, fish sauce, lemon grass and chillies! The red wine we chose was thin and acidic - certainly not worth the £25ish per bottle they charged. Did not have any dessert as nobody offered us anything after the main courses. Overall, ambience OK, service VERY GOOD and food VERY DISAPPOINTING.

Turned up without reservation prior to going to the theatre ,we were met quite quickly with a smile and although we had not pre booked the lady that met us, whent out of her way to squeeze us in.We were left a reasonable time to make our choices for both food and drink, which were delivered quite promptly. The lady that met us at the door also served us and was very pleasant and professional. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the same standard i had a vegetable pad thai with pulled mushrooms.This is a dish i have had several times else where and enjoyed, but not this time.The noodles where hot but the mushrooms where stone cold and had little taste. This was without doubt the sweetest pad thai i have ever had and was really sickly. So I am sorry to say i will not be coming again, which is a shame as the first impressions were good.

The food was decent but the service was bad, it took over an hour for mains to come out. We saw our drinks sat at the bar for a while before they were given to us. The service is bad for a restaurant that wasn’t that busy the day we went. We had to ask our waiter 3 times for the bill. Overall it was disappointing

Staff were very nice, friendly from the outset. Service was good and efficient. Main course and starter were good, Tom yung as very nice, could really of done with more for the price! Pudding was a big let down, how they can charge £6.50 for sticky rice with no flavour and very little condensed milk is beyond me, avoid this it's a rip off. Other than this let down it was a nice meal.

This was our third visit and we had the sea food sharing platter with papaya salad & some stir fired green beans. All very tasty. It was very busy but the staff were great, and the manager had time for a quick chat, and he remembered us from when we visited last year when they first opened and he gave us a copy of Rosa’s Thai Cafe cookbook, which we use on a very regular basis

My friends surprised me with a meal here after I had gone on about wanting to try Rosa’s for months before I move to Australia! I was not disappointed the food was lovely both starter and main and the staff were lovely would definitely recommend

Very very average. The staff weren’t particularly friendly in fact anytime we wanted anything we had to go out of our way to get it. Food was okay but expensive. I think there are better Thai restaurants in Nottingham.

We were looking for a pre Theatre lunch - Rosa's express lunch menu was perfect. 2 courses plus drink, lovely presentation and very friendly staff - and very reasonably priced. Looking forward to sampling their main menu when we have more time.

Delicious and tasty food! Great portion sizes and really friendly staff Had the evening set menu which is great value Would definitely come here again

Green Curry chicken taste fine but Tom Yum prawn taste terrible. DO NOT order Tom Yum prawn. It doesn’t taste anything close to authentic Tom Yum and has a weird smell in it.

Going to Rosa's Thai was a last minute decision and a lovely surprise. The staff were welcoming, the atmosphere relaxed and the food delicious. We had both the prawn and pumpkin crackers to start, which were crisp and tasty. I had the king prawn cashew curry with sticky rice and it was fresh, delicious and filling. The menu offers a good selection of vegan options and blue light discount, if you've got your card with you. I would have given Rosa's Thai five stars but we were never offered desserts - we assumed this was because they didn't sell them, but the menu online has some listed - which was a shame. We will definitely visit again, as it was a great meal.

The food is overpriced for what you get - the crab rice lacked any crab and the two pieces by the side of the plate were tiny and not tasty The chicken fried rice (listed on the menu with two chillis) was bland and had no spice at all - the rice was completely plain and the breaded chicken was over cooked Not worth a visit

Lovely food. Thank you lovely and friendly Sam! Lemongrass Pandan tea on a hot day like this....serious quencher. I'll bring my son too next time

Inattentive service perhaps exacerbated by what seemed to be low staff levels and a prioritisation of delivery orders. Starters and drinks were largely fine and the pork skewers, prawn crackers and associated dips were actually very good, but the mains were incredibly disappointing and the whole meal was incredibly overpriced considering the service, quality of food, and setting. The manager agreed not to charge us for our mains which we were grateful for, but it was a disappointing visit and I would not recommend it.

Was eager to try this restaurant. Ate at 6pm with a friend. Lovely staff. We're told we could only have the table for a hour - but that was ok. Food disappointing. My pad Thai was cold & had to be sent back. No evidence of crab in the crab rice meal. Asked for prawn crackers - didn't get them but weren't charged for them. Against Pho & Giggling Squid in West Bridgford- this was pretty disappointing. Note to self - go where you know in future. City centre needs to step up. Lots of competition out there!! 😐

Way Better than Zaap. Popped in for lunch. Wow. Totally enjoyed this food. So authentic without the Buddhas and tuk tuk “experience “

Food was overpriced for what you get, which was quite bland. Staff were very friendly but the food did not live up to expectations. We also had a service charge added to our bill without asking us.

Called in for lunch. Was on the way to Zaap (always good) when spotted this. Assumed it was an independent business so thought we would give it a go. Turns out it is a “cooking by numbers” chain, and it shows. Staff - pleasant enough....

Mushy chicken satay. The chicken green curry was uninspired. The chicken was cut in slices and was tasteless. The service lackadaisical.

I am surprised to see all the negative reviews of this place. My husband and I always have a lovely time when we go here. The food is delicious and the customer service is always top notch. Couldn't recommend it more!

We are all fans of Thai food so chose this new location for our catch up. Waitress was friendly enough, took our order and promptly bought prawn crackers to the table. There isn’t much choice where alcoholic drinks are concerned but that’s not too much...

I wasn't impressed with eating here. The food was OK... ish I've had better Thai elsewhere. My curry was luke warm. Could have been hotter and for the price, I'd expect to have rice included. We were also charged for prawn crackers we didn't ask...

A little bit disappointing. I was expecting great things and unfortunately Rosa’s Thai in Nottingham did not deliver, although they do deliver as the endless stream of Deliveroo drivers would attest. Online booking system is slick and when I wanted to add a 4th person...

Went for a nice lunch and got a spectacular one. The summer rolls were practically life-changing - fresh and wonderfully fragrant and my red curry was deeply flavourful and warming. Just the right level of heat, spice and sweetness. The staff were all brilliant -...

A mixed experience We made a booking for 6pm but,when we arrived (on time), we were left standing in the doorway because the table wasn't ready. Service was fine but nothing special. We weren't given any recommendations or told about specials. One of my friends'...

Sadly not a great experience. The waiting staff and management were lovely and efficient. Starters were very good. Unfortunately main courses a disaster. Cold. Came out at different times. Clearly reheated. Hopefully the chef has now been replaced…………. A real shame as the atmosphere and...

Too expensive. Being a fan of the Covent Garden restaurant, I was pleased this was opening in Nottingham. I went with my wife and mother. We ordered 3 starters, skewers, sweetcorn fritters and spring rolls. Sizes relatively small, I would describe the skewers and springs...

A new Thai restaurant in city centre,, Ampawa Specials - Crispy Pork Belly Bites - Pork Belly & Secret Noodles We ordered an extra starter - Fresh Summer Rolls ⭐️Overall experience Friendly staff,, The food are amazing 🤤 I love the Pork Belly & Secret...

Great food. Welcoming staff. They understood the menu and made good recommendations. The food was delicious. The restaurant area was spotless and everyone seemed to enjoy working there

We visited Rosa’s in Covent Garden about 18 months ago and it was tremendously tasty and cool. We were very excited when we saw this was opening in Nottingham and recently went along. Unfortunately we were really disappointed. We had a starter platter, pork belly...

I ordered a meal for my partners birthday. The food was excellent.All the dishes were delicious and well cooked and presented. The delivery was with me in no time and the driver wished my partner happy birthday. I highly recommend a visit or a take...

We came here on Saturday evening after seeing a lot of people recommend this place on instagram. We were very excited about getting a new Thai place in town to try and therefore were very disappointed with our experience when things didn’t quite go right...

Pad Thai was very poor - over cooked with a strange flavour. Husbands prawn green curry had 4 prawns, over cooked rice and the curry was not pleasant. So for 2 mains, prawn crackers, 2 small wine carafes and 1 small can of beer they...

The lunch time deal was a reasonable price. The service was ok to say the least as there were only a handful of tables in. All the dishes tasted amazing apart from the summer rolls which tasted stale and old.

Quirky place although not sure about the stools! Staff were the best but it peaked there! Chicken satay was the worst I've ever tasted and out of 4 of us not one finished their mains due to lack of spice or taste overall. Not up...

Went for what we thought would be a nice relaxed meal with friends. Pro: The food was lovely. Cons: 1. The stool seating is very uncomfortable. 2. My main course was wrong and had to go back. 3. Our table was booked for 7 pm,...
