About Rosa's Thai Carnaby
Rosa's Thai Carnaby is a Thai restaurant in London, set down a side alley off Carnaby Street at 23a Ganton St, close to the Palladium. It opened on Ganton Street in 2013 with a modern twist on Thai cooking, aimed at the shoppers and concert-goers who pass through the area. The menu starts with Prawn Doughnuts as a starter. Pad Thai comes in a Vegetable & Tofu version as well as one with prawns, and Khao Soi is served as a noodle soup. The dining room is small, with small tables and bench-style seating or stools.

Customer Review Summary
Pad Thai comes up most, from a prawn version to a vegetable and tofu one that won over a reviewer who had not liked Thai food before. Close behind are the Chilli and Basil with pork belly, khao pad fried rice, Khao Soi noodle soup, curry and prawn doughnuts, with portions repeatedly described as good sized. Drinks earn their own mentions, including Thai lemonade, lemongrass pandan iced tea, Thai tea, a sparkling lychee drink and a Singha Lemon Soda in Ume flavour. A coconut ice cream sandwich with sticky rice pudding is singled out for dessert. Staff are called friendly and kind, and the decor gets praise for its cozy feel. The room is small, with bench and stool seating, and one reviewer suggests booking ahead for occasions while another mentions loud neighbours who soon left. One diner had a problem with a dish and was happy with how it was handled.

“A lovely authentic Thai restaurant. Close to the Palladium so very handy. Had an issue with one of the dishes. It was handled very well and was happy with the outcome so 10/10 for that. Very tasty food. Good varied menu.”

“Great first time experience as part of the GCSE results offer. Order one bubble tea and you get a pad Thai for free! Gorgeous food and drink, we will definitely be back 😊”
- Sue from Wiltshire
“Looking for a bite to eat before a show at the Palladium, we wandered down Ganton Street and saw this sweet, unassuming Thai restaurant. We thought it was a bit of a gamble but decided to give it a try, and we were so glad we did. The menu wasn’t huge but there was plenty of variety to choose from. The food was freshly prepared and delicious. The servings were the perfect size. We even tried a sparkling lychee drink which was great. Service was friendly and relaxed. We were left to enjoy our meal but the staff were on had if we needed anything. Thank you Rosa’s. Highly recommended.”

“The curry here is amazing, and I also loved the thai tea! The staff is lovely and the bathroom is really nice too, so overall an incredible place! The ambiance of this restaurant is adorable too, the decor is so perfect and I'm obsessed with the colors of everything!”
- Marcel Aerts
“Great place to meet and eat. Really enjoyed the food… polished the plates for the last crumbs. The Singha Lemon Soda (Ume flavour) proved the perfect accompaniment for the meal and very refreshing on a hot day. Lovely staff. Highly recommended!”
