A family meal out that genuinely delights everyone at the table is always a win, and our recent visit to Rosa’s Thai Westfield White City delivered exactly that and more. From the moment we stepped inside, we were wrapped in the warm, welcoming buzz of a truly authentic Thai restaurant. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between relaxed and lively, making it ideal for families who want to enjoy incredible food without feeling rushed or out of place. It’s the kind of restaurant where you immediately feel comfortable, whether you’re popping in during a busy shopping day or settling down for a longer, leisurely meal together. Following our amazing family holiday to Thailand, eating Thai food makes us all happy. And keeps us reminiscing about that fantastic trip. So this was the perfect restaurant to enjoy some delicious food and all spend some time together.

Starters and sharing plates at Rosa’s Thai Westfield White City London
The food at Rosa’s Thai is cooked to order, and you can taste that freshness in every dish. Everything arrived beautifully presented, steaming hot, and bursting with those fragrant Thai flavours that instantly transport you far beyond West London.
We began by sharing the Veggie Platter, which was a brilliant way to sample lots of different textures and tastes.
The fresh summer rolls were light and refreshing, the sweetcorn fritter bites were crisp and delicious, and the kale tempura was perfectly crunchy without being heavy. Veggie spring rolls and pumpkin crackers rounded things off, making this an ideal starter to share as a family. This is one we all loved.
We also all shared the Crispy Pad Cha Aubergine, a Rosa’s classic for good reason. This starter was so delicious with large pieces of aubergine in a crispy batter and wonderfully soft inside, accompanied by a sticky pad cha sauce packed with galangal, lemongrass, black pepper and lime leaves. It’s bold, aromatic and incredibly moreish.
Main courses
For mains, the Veg & Tofu Stir-Fried Flat Noodles were pure comfort food. The wide rice noodles were silky and satisfying, stir-fried with eggs, spring greens and sweet soy sauce, making this a gentle but deeply flavoursome option that works beautifully for vegetarians and anyone who loves classic Thai street-style dishes. My daughter thought this was wonderful and she hasn’t stopped talking about it.
Seafood lovers at the table were completely won over by the Seabass Chu Chi. The seabass fillets were light and delicate, coated in a soft egg batter and served in a rich, red curry sauce infused with kaffir lime leaves and fresh chillies. It’s a dish that feels indulgent yet balanced, with layers of flavour that linger long after the last bite.
I had the Panang Curry with tofu and veg which was great. Rich, warming and perfectly spiced. With its trademark Thai balance of salty, sweet and spicy flavours, alongside fragrant lime leaves, krachai and Thai aubergine, it’s easy to see why this is one of Thailand’s most popular curries. It’s definitely one I will have again
Puddings at Rosa’s Thai Westfield White City London
No visit to Rosa’s Thai feels complete without dessert, and the Crispy Banoffee Roti was a joyful way to finish our meal, alongside the ever popular vegan mango sorbet which was sweet, comforting and just indulgent enough. A brilliant nod to popular Thai street food and a real crowd-pleaser for all ages.
Our family meal at Rosa’s Thai Westfield White City was everything we want from dining out together. Welcoming, relaxed, and packed with truly delicious food. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, full of authentic flavours, and served with care. It’s a restaurant that works beautifully for families while still feeling special, and we left already talking about what we’d order next time.
