Rosa’s Thai makes international debut
The TriSpan-backed Thai chain, which launched as a street stall in London’s Brick Lane in 2007, now operates 33 restaurants in the UK and has opened an 80-cover restaurant in Dubai’s Jumeirah Beach Residence area.
Rosa’s Thai Dubai was launched with Dubai-based operator Eathos, which also operates Tortilla and The Athenian among other brands in the region.
“Dubai is a thriving melting pot of cultures, people and, of course, cuisines, making it an ideal site for the group’s very first location outside of the UK,” says Gavin Adair, Rosa’s Thai CEO.
“We are delighted to work hand-in-hand with Eathos, seasoned restaurant operators and brand creators who are behind almost 40 exceptional existing restaurant-locations in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.”
The launch aims to fill a gap in the market for authentic Thai concepts in Dubai, with menu highlights including customer favourites such as pad thai, green curry, and red pineapple curry, as well as plant-based options and a children’s menu.
“Rosa’s Thai Dubai will have it’s own unique and distinctive character, while still staying true to the flavours and family recipes created by founder, chef Saiphin,” says Nadim Majdalani, Eathos CEO.
“The brand will fill a void in the local Thai casual dining scene, and we look forward to celebrating its success across the GCC.”
