About Us
Rosa’s Thai was born out of our founder Saiphin’s passion for authentic Thai food served in a no-frill and relaxed atmosphere. We put genuine hospitality and great recipes at the heart of everything that we do and are proud to have been born in Thailand and raised in England. You’ll always find a warm and friendly welcome in these casual Thai restaurants. Rosa’s serve honest Thai food with a whole lot of spice and enough soul to fill the Mekong River.
Combining modern London with modern Bangkok, Rosa’s Thai grew from a humble beginning of a street stall on Brick Lane’s Sunday market in the East End of London, which quickly became the locals’ favourite. By summer 2008, Saiphin and Alex had bought an old caff on Hanbury Street, with the help of friends, family and credit cards. The very first site ‘Rosa’s Spitalfields’ was born. They kept the name Rosa’s as a nod to English tradition and heritage (and also because they didn’t have the means or money to change the sign).
