Rosa’s Thai has four UAE dine-in locations. Compare current branches, Thai menu choices, a published food-order example and the allergy-ordering policy.
Rosa’s Thai has four UAE dine-in locations we could verify in July 2026: JBR, Dubai Hills Mall and Dubai Mall in Dubai, plus The Galleria Al Maryah Island in Abu Dhabi. Business Bay appears on delivery platforms, but that does not make it a customer-facing restaurant; choose a confirmed branch for dining in.

The menu centres on pad Thai, curries, fried rice, stir-fries and shareable starters. Based on the UAE menu currently published by the brand, most main dishes sit around AED48–64 depending on the protein, with prices shown inclusive of VAT. Menus and delivery prices can change, so use the ranges for planning and check the live menu before ordering.
Our recommendation is to choose the branch around your day: JBR for a beach or Marina plan, Dubai Hills or Dubai Mall for a shopping visit, and The Galleria for Abu Dhabi. Then build the food order around appetite and the menu’s spice markings. A delivery-zone name is not a reason to travel to an assumed dine-in restaurant.
Rosa’s Thai UAE locations in 2026
| Branch | Where to find it | Useful detail |
|---|---|---|
| Rosa’s Thai JBR | M2-B2, The Walk, Jumeirah Beach Residence, Dubai | The brand’s official location page lists an 80-cover restaurant and outdoor seating in cooler weather. |
| Rosa’s Thai Dubai Hills | First Floor, Dubai Hills Mall; P1 Sports parking | Emaar’s current directory lists the branch and phone number 04 577 4350. |
| Rosa’s Thai Dubai Mall | Lower Ground Floor, near the Waterfall | Useful for Downtown visitors; confirm the exact unit through the current mall map on arrival. |
| Rosa’s Thai The Galleria | Level 2, Section A parking, The Galleria Al Maryah Island, Abu Dhabi | The mall directory lists Sun–Thu 10am–10pm and Fri–Sat 10am–midnight. |
JBR
JBR is the most fully documented branch on Rosa’s Thai Arabia’s website. The brand lists it at M2-B2 on The Walk, with lunch and dinner seven days a week. When checked, the published hours were 11am–midnight Sunday to Thursday and 11am–1am Friday and Saturday. The official phone number is 04 564 4969.
Choose JBR if the meal is part of a beach or Marina day and outdoor seating matters. Ask whether the terrace is operating before making a special trip in summer.
Dubai Hills Mall
Emaar’s directory places Rosa’s Thai on Dubai Hills Mall’s first floor, with P1 Sports parking. Choose this branch when you are already visiting Dubai Hills Estate or the mall. Save the first-floor location and parking details before setting off, particularly if you are meeting a group at the mall.
Dubai Mall
Emaar confirms a Dubai Mall branch. It is on the Lower Ground Floor, near the Waterfall. Choose it for a Downtown mall itinerary, and use the mall map to reach the right wing instead of navigating from a delivery listing.
The Galleria, Abu Dhabi
The Galleria’s directory lists Rosa’s Thai on Level 2, with Section A parking. This is the Abu Dhabi dine-in location supported by the mall’s own page. An app offering delivery to Al Raha does not establish a second customer-facing branch there.
Dine-in location or delivery listing?
Delivery apps organise restaurants by service zone, not by the experience a customer can walk into. A listing labelled “Business Bay” may be a delivery operation serving that district. It should not be presented as a dine-in branch unless the brand or a current venue directory publishes a customer address, opening hours and contact details.
The same rule applies when an app shows Rosa’s Thai for Al Raha or another Abu Dhabi district: it proves that an address may be deliverable at that moment, not that a restaurant exists there. Enter the delivery address in the app for current availability and use the four branches above for a planned sit-down meal.
Rosa’s Thai UAE menu prices
The UAE all-day menu linked from the official website displays prices in dirhams and says VAT is included. The examples below are a snapshot of that published menu, not a guarantee for every branch or delivery platform.
| Dish | Published price snapshot | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Pad Thai | AED48 veg/tofu; AED54 chicken; AED60 shrimp | Sweet-sour rice noodles with tamarind, egg and crushed peanuts. |
| Green, red or Panang curry | AED48–60 by protein | Rice is included on the published UAE menu; spice markings differ. |
| Massaman curry | AED52 veg/tofu; AED58 chicken; AED64 beef | The menu marks it as the mildest curry and identifies nuts. |
| Chilli and basil flat noodles | AED48–60 by protein | Marked at the brand’s highest “Thai spicy” level. |
| Classic sharing platter | AED55 | Published as serving two; includes several popular starters. |
| Spring rolls | AED30 | Vegetable and rice-noodle filling with sweet chilli sauce. |
| Mango sticky rice | AED30 | Mango, coconut sticky rice and coconut milk. |
A worked order from the published menu is spring rolls (AED 30), chicken pad Thai (AED 54) and chicken massaman (AED 58): AED 142 before drinks or extra dishes. Rice is listed with the curry. That gives a clearer starting budget than a broad range with no stated order; add drinks and any extra portions you actually want.
What to order by appetite and spice tolerance
For a first visit, choose one noodle dish and one curry if you are sharing. That gives the table two formats instead of several similar mains. For diners who want a mild curry, compare massaman; for those actively seeking heat, use the menu’s chilli scale. These are menu-based recommendations, so they do not require a fictional tasting visit.
- First visit: share spring rolls or the classic platter, then compare pad Thai with one curry and jasmine rice.
- Mild preference: the official menu identifies massaman as the mildest curry. It contains cashew nuts.
- Serious heat: chilli-and-basil flat noodles and green curry carry the three-chilli “Thai spicy” mark on the published menu.
- Meat-free order: many noodles, curries and stir-fries offer a veg-and-tofu option, but vegetarian does not automatically mean vegan.
- Group table: combine something crunchy, a noodle dish, a curry and rice instead of ordering several similarly rich mains.
The brand’s scale is useful: one chilli means “can be spicy”, two means “definitely spicy”, and three means “Thai spicy”. Individual tolerance varies, and a delivery app may not allow the heat level to be changed.
Allergies: dine in or order by phone
This is the most important practical distinction on the official site. Rosa’s Thai says it is unable to cater for allergies on orders placed through online delivery services and apps. For allergy-specific requirements, it asks customers to dine in or place a collection order by phone or in person and inform the restaurant team.
Peanuts and other nuts appear in well-known dishes including pad Thai, satay sauces and massaman curry. The kitchen also handles dairy and other allergens. Menu icons are a starting point, not a substitute for a direct conversation about the specific allergy and cross-contact risk. Read the brand’s current allergen guidance before ordering.
Is Rosa’s Thai “authentic”?
“Authentic” is too blunt to settle with a marketing adjective. Rosa’s Thai is a restaurant group co-founded by Thai chef Saiphin Moore and her husband Alex, opening its first permanent London restaurant in 2008. The name came from the East End café whose premises and sign they took over—not from Saiphin being called Rosa.
The UAE menu uses recognisable Thai dishes and ingredients such as tamarind, Thai basil, galangal, coconut milk and fish sauce, while operating in an accessible chain format. A more useful question is whether the dish, heat level, dietary options, price and setting suit the meal you want.
Which Rosa’s Thai branch should you choose?
| If you want… | Best-fit branch | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| A beach or Marina day | JBR | On The Walk, with outdoor seating advertised for cooler weather. |
| A residential Dubai mall visit | Dubai Hills Mall | First-floor branch with P1 Sports parking guidance. |
| Downtown sightseeing | Dubai Mall | Lower Ground Floor near the Waterfall; convenient around a mall itinerary. |
| Abu Dhabi dining | The Galleria | Verified sit-down location on Al Maryah Island, Level 2. |
| Food at home | Your live delivery listing | Availability and fulfilment kitchen depend on the delivery address. |
Booking, takeaway and delivery
The brand’s Arabia site offers booking, menu and delivery routes, although its location directory does not display every newer branch consistently. For dine-in, follow the branch through the relevant mall directory or contact Rosa’s Thai Arabia directly. For delivery, enter the exact address rather than assuming one kitchen covers an entire emirate.

Facts checked on 9 October 2026: the four dine-in locations above remain supported by the brand or mall directories, the linked UAE menu supplies the price examples, and the brand story dates the first permanent restaurant to 2008. Contact the restaurant directly for allergy-specific ordering, as its published policy excludes that service through delivery apps.
