RosieChai TeaRoom in Richmond upon Thames

Extraordinary Lebanese breakfast with labneh halloumi and rose petal jam. Exceptionally nice calm people with a real passion for teas. 22 tea options on the menu.

Rosie Chai is easily found in picturesque Church St at the heart of Twickenham ( great people- and dog -watching from passersby) . The coffee is top class as is the lovely Polish waitress. We often take a spicy chicken wrap home for lunch. Inside the decor is textiles, colour, glimpse of courtyard greenery at the back and knowledgeable quotes about tea on the walls. Tiny place to look forward to.

I definitely will go back as I love fresh Lebanese food but we had simply gone there for a cuppa in the sunshine. I am not a fan of chain coffee shops and would support a local business any day of the week. This place is so cute but the service is a little muddled and slow. But it’s great price wise, far better value than a chain shop coffee or tea and this place has a prime position on Church Street in the sunshine.

I’ve been visiting Rosie and Chai regularly for my lunch time wrap whilst I was on maternity leave. The wraps are delicious and filling and have been the perfect lunch to enjoy sitting by the river with my bubba! Today we had the opportunity to eat in and enjoyed two wrap platters which were just as delicious and as always the team in there are so friendly and accommodating. I cannot recommend them enough and if you are in Twickenham you must give them a try.

I had yet another delicious falafel wrap from this sweet cafe, I have had this same wrap many times because I just love it, so fresh and tasty and very authentic. The owners and waiting staff are so welcoming and polite always happy to help and serve. Thank you so much. See you soon I’m sure

Always delicious and friendly. We love the wraps, Rosie Chai special, the salads, the baklava and all the devious tea. Thank you

My sister has been going on about this place since she visited and I thought to give it a try since authentic Lebanese food is so hard to find in London especially Twickenham! I had the falafel wrap and it gave me all the comfort of being away from home that I needed 🤩 Can’t wait to go back to this dainty place with wonderful owner. Coffee and falafel wrap for £8 - bargain!

The family who run this little Cafe, welcome everyone in. The staff explain the dishes on the menu and which dishes compliment each other. On hot days, you can sit outside at the front and watch the world go by. My wife has the RosieChai special with gilled halloumi, grilled aubergine marinated in pomegranate sauce, grilled courgette marinated in mint sauce, served with olives, hummus, roasted red pepper and Lebanese bread. I went for the Lahm Bil Ajeen baked pastry topped with mince lamb, onion and tomatoes, served with olives, tomatoes and cucumber. Everything about this cafe tells you that the owners love their food and prepare it with love. A must stop if you are in the area.

Highly recommended. Lebanese cuisine, freshly prepared , excellent service, lovely decor , outside seating . Will return

A wonderful little café with very friendly service and delicious food. The food is freshly prepared, so isn't brought instantly, but it is well worth the wait. Highly recommended.

The food here is delicious. I’ve been coming frequently throughout our various lockdowns and service is always friendly and welcoming. The chicken wrap with chilli is my favourite, with a side of baklava :)

my friend and i met in church street for a coffee and cake and stumbled upon this little treasure . we were welcomed to this place by such lovely people . the food was amazing and the atmosphere was lovely beautifully served and they went out of their way to help . i am so happy i found it here i will certainly be back

What a totally relaxed and enjoyable meal we had. Truly authentic tastes and amazing people running the restaurant. Will definitely be back. I would have added a photo but the food was so delicious the plates were a mess by the time I thought of it.

Delicious halloumi and aubergine wrap - perfect for lunch and really good value. Plus great coffee. And the couple running the cafe are lovely.

The most delicious aubergine I have ever tasted. We had the freshly prepared special which also included courgette, halloumi, humus and flat bread which was all extremely tasty too. Very good - and friendly - service.

unassuming little restaurant and tea room with amazing tasty tapas style Lebanese plates and delicious selection of teas. Worth a visit. The service was relaxed and attentive.

We love this place. A hidden gem with fantastic food and great teas. The Foul Madammas is my wife's favourite dish, and she says its the best anywhere. Cannot recommend too highly.

We serve Lebanese food, loose leaf teas, cakes and other Lebanese sweets. Our opening hours vary during holidays but our current hours are: Monday 9:30am–5:30pm Tuesday 9:30am–5:30pm Wednesday 9:30am–5:30pm Thursday 9:30am–5:30pm Friday 9:30am–6pm Saturday 9am–6pm Sunday 10am–5pm See you soon.

Visited on Sunday while the boys were at the rugby. Such a lovely little oasis. So many teas to choose from. We had the falafel wrap. It was delicious. The flavours were amazing. This is a charming family business serving amazing food. All in all an extremely lucky find.

We visited RoseiChai under slightly odd circumstances in that one of our friends had booked it for the evening for a birthday dinner. If what we experienced that night is anything to go by, then the residents of Twickenham are extremely lucky to have such a lovely little tearoom on their doorstep.Every dish we were served - and they kept on coming - was superb: tasty, generously-portioned and clearly home-cooked with love and skill. Whether it was one of the many beautifully-prepared salads, the roasted vegetables with halloumi, falafel or the various chicken and lamb dishes, each was explained with care and hugely satisfying.Enough to say that we didn't have time room for dessert, something which made us all feel guilty given the generous and welcoming hospitality we had enjoyed during the evening.A lovely, lovely experience - and ridiculously affordable.

Lovely choice of teas and service is amazing. Would recommend this place to anyone who loves tea. Will be returning soon.

Lovely authentic Lebanese food, expertly cooked and made with love. I’m a Twickenham resident & have walked past often but didn’t realised this cute little cafe has seating in the back and a pretty garden courtyard. A really extensive lunch menu of wraps, falafels & a wonderful selection of teas. Doesn’t serve booze, but they are happy for you to BYO. Will be returning soon.

We visited at the weekend, just before noon. There are very nice vegan options, we had the foul Mudammas (fava beans), falafel wrap, hummus and Batata harra (potatoes). These are well labelled on the menu.The atmosphere is friendly and very casual, we weren’t given a table with any speed and the seating space is quite tight (there is a table next to the toilet I’m glad we didn’t have) but the food is 5/5 absolutely delicious and this place is well worth a visit.

The food is delicious with great vegan options. And the atmosphere is lovely, a family run site with a cosy and welcoming vibe. A lovely hidden gem of Twickenham

Delicious falafel wraps, chicken wraps & Lebanese sausages. All nicely presented. Nicest teas and cakes.

Popped in for a bite to each today and oh my the chicken wrap was genuinely the best wrap I’ve had (and I’ve had a few!). Beautiful little family run place, ever so friendly staff and the sweets looked amazing (although we were full so didn’t try them). Thoroughly recommend. Extensive tea menu also. Very good value for money.

I fancied something a little different for my lunch today. The falafel wrap was so tasty. With the extra pickles/ chilli, it was lovely! I would certainly recommend others to go in too.

Wonderful, simple Middle Eastern food beautifully presented with great coffee (despite the tea theme represented by the name!) The babaganoush and flat bread is to die for. A lovely family business, great service and great value. I cant rate it high enough.

Stopped in with a craving for a Falafel and Hummus wrap, I was not disappointed.

Beautiful little place serving extremely yummy fresh food ! The staff are delightful and helpful when making choices on what to order .

I have often walked past RosieChai and wondered what it was like. It is a delightful cafe serving home made Lebanese food. For such a tiny place it has a remarkable selection. We had different plates of mezzes, including hummus, tabbouleh, savoury pastries, aubergine, courgette and red peppers and all of them were tasty. We also enjoyed the baklava and lemon drizzle cake, washed down with a nice cup of tea. Service was friendly and attentive. Worth a visit.

Went there for lunch with our son who is vegan (I am also vegetarian) and it’s such a quaint little cafe which I never knew existed! Lovely courtyard out the back too which can only be used on weekends due to the offices but with the doors open it was very airy in the cafe on a hot day. Friendly service, very tasty food and so many teas to choose from, what a delightful place to have lunch and it’s always good to support local businesses. Try it, you won’t be disappointed!

This place is great, don’t bother reading anymore reviews just go. Also not sure why it has so many £ signs as it’s actually really fairly priced. 10/10 recommend

This is a small cafe serving authentic Lebanese food with vegan options. The lentil soup was full of citrus flavour and the hummus, always my favourite, was delicious. But the baba ganoush - oh my goodness!!!!! Absolutely fabulous! Presentation was beautiful, the taste outstanding. Served with copious amounts of flatbread, thoughtfully wrapped in foil to prevent it from drying out on a baking hot day! Friendly service and wonderful food will ensure this is my must visit everytime I'm in Twickers for the rugby in future.

Visited Rosie Chai today for lunch. I asked if I could take my dog in with me. They said they didn't allow dogs inside but that I could sit outside in the courtyard. They then proceeded to move a table and chairs outside to accommodate us. They offer gluten free bread and wraps so the menu choices are great. Also have an amazing tea selection. The food was extremely tasty and the service was friendly and welcoming. Lovely visit and will definitely be going back. Please do visit - you won't be disappointed!

I stumbled across this place by chance and have been back twice since. It's got a lovely relaxing atmosphere, the staff are lovely and the food (especially the lentil soup) is delicious. Really reasonably priced. Great selection of vegan options. Highly recommended.

We stopped in here for a late tea -- they had been very busy just before we arrived, and I can understand why, because the food and tea were delicious. They also serve traditional English tea foods, but we had an assortment of Lebanese pastries that were really, really good. I noticed that the person who reviewed 4 weeks ago said that the service was slow; it's true that it's not as quick as going to a Starbucks, but I have had tea many places, and I didn't think that the service was slower than usual for a tea room. Both of the proprietors came over to our table to help us decide what to order, and they discussed with us at length the ingredients to the pastries, as one of my sons has a nut allergy. So maybe it's that attention to detail that caused the delay for the other customer. There was a boy there who was sitting off to the side, playing video games on his computer, but he jumped up to help the female proprietor find a price for a package of tea I was buying -- so it appears that he's a family member who sometimes helps out. He wasn't very young -- I would say 12 or so -- and I commended him on being so helpful. I have boys that age, and they're more than capable of helping out at a family business. Sorry to perseverate on the previous reviewer's comments, but I specifically came onto TripAdvisor to give this business a glowing review (something I rarely do), and I was shocked that the next most recent review to mine was so negative. In any case, we had a delicious tea, both food and drink, and found the proprietors really warm and lovely. Highly recommend.

Slow service, mediocre food, need to get their act together, they also have young boy waiting on tables sorry but this is not right, some people think its cute!

My wife had pre-booked afternoon tea for me and our son as a birthday treat. From the outside it is perhaps a little confusing as to whether it is a Lebanese restaurant or tea room. However, having sampled tea, I will be back for Lebanese food!

We visited with some friends last weekend. The owner and her husband are just so cute! We ordered a selection of dishes for brunch, all of which were lovely. The food took a bit of time to arrive but was worth the wait. Tea and dessert were also yummy.

Visited this charming venue with my wife today 9.4.17. The lady owner was polite and welcoming. Extensive range of teas available plus coffee, hot chocolate etc. Inviting seating area at the rear of the premises. Pricing is reasonable and service is good. The owner clearly knows about her teas and coffees! I had a Turkish Coffee which was superb and my wife had a latte. For us it was a flying visit, but we will be back soon. Note:- If you buy 10 hot drinks you get a slice of cake or cupcake free with your tenth hot drink. This venue has great potential.

My girlfriend and I dropped by RosieChai by accident while walking through the Thames riverside path. RosieChai is a cosy and charming tearoom with a relaxing atmosphere located in a very lovely street in Twickenham. It has an amazing selection of teas, cakes and homemade food. In the menu there is also a selection of typical Lebanese dishes and soups. We decided to try a Lebanese dish and a soup and they were both delicious! They also have gluten free options. Hala (the owner) and her husband are very friendly, helpful and attentive. We will surely come back!

Very friendly, slightly quirky, cafe with excellent choice of teas and some delicious Lebanese snacks. A few yards from the river and a very good place for a break if you're walking along the river.

Went here with my parents and partner for lunch. The staff are lovely and friendly. There's a very nice chilled out ambiance. In fact, it was a little too cold to be honest but I'll put that down to the open door, drafty windows and the cold weather outside.

The warm and friendly service make the RosieChai a lovely experience. As it is a little gem in Twickenham you are better off booking a table.

RosieChai is a little gem in the historical Church Street of Twickenham. A very well decorated cosy tea-room with heart-warming colors offers one a happy, peaceful environment. Staff is very friendly. What I most like about the place is the rich variety of its menu. Tea, coffee, cakes, cupcakes, cookies etc. They are serving you tastes from both East and West. They have "blended" the east and west cuisines, tea/ coffee traditions, deserts which really makes a difference. You can have eastern platters or western platters. I quite enjoyed having my very traditional British afternoon tea with delicious finger sandwiches, delicate cakes and scones. I have tried Ploughman's lunch and Lebanese Mezze Platter on my different visits. They also do delicious vegan wraps. And if you want to enjoy your Turkish coffee or tea, they are serving it in a very traditional style. Well I must admit as an Istanbulite that was really surprising for me. Because both tea and coffee are done and served with traditional ways and equipment. It's clear that they have studied their lessons. Thanks RosieChai team for making me feel at home! Will definitely come and enjoy my food on my next visit to London. One more tip for the visitors, the Church Street offers really good time and it's very close to the river Thames. You can walk by the river and enjoy breathtaking views. And you are just next to the tiny island called Eel Pie Island on the Thames that once held The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, and the UK’s Largest Hippie Commune. So when you're in London, visit Church Street of Twickenham, enjoy your food/ tea/ coffee at RosieChai or use the take away option and enjoy your food by the river Thames.

I am glad it's open in twickenham even the place is not big but full of people every time I visit especially lunch time cause the food is mouth watering variety of middle eastern food and English food the staff work hard to make u feel comfortable and they welcome u with big smile .they serve nice scone and cup cakes with wonderful decoration, they serve variety of tea and herb tea plus soft drinks and coffe.

Lovely tea room with delicious food as well. Customer service is excellent, very friendly. The tea choice was vast and served expertly with a flourish of beauty, brew time was timed with colourful egg-timers. All in all a great lunch with refreshing tea.

We stopped for a snack on a Friday evening with a table outside while the annual tug of war contest took place just down the road.

Beautiful and friendly and perfect. A lovely shop in the heart of Twickenham. Tea lovers will enjoy. Peaceful if you fancy a cuppa and a good read.
