Takeaway: Thai Rosy

Massaman curry, pad thai, basil beef stir fry, ginger and chilli prawn stir fry and coconut rice


Thai Rosy is at 1659 Point Nepean Rd Rosebud, 03 5982 1400


This is a medium size shop front, in fact it's two shops joined together, thai restaurant in a little shopping strip in Rosebud, lots of handy parking.
This place has about 10 tables and despite doing a fairish chunk of takeaway trade, seems to offer a reasonable place to eat as well. Wait staff consists of local teenagers so don't expect too much, but it's reasonably priced and they have taken the time to ensure that there is nothing to distract you from the meal. The room is muted, adequately lit and tastefully decorated (modulo the required buddha shrine)


The food itself was pretty good, we had a massaman chicken curry, pad thai with chicken, a stir fried beef with thai basil and cashew nuts, stir fried prawns with a ginger chilli sauce, some pork spring rolls, chicken satay sticks and coconut rice. The prawn stir fry was fantastic, the beef stir fry was deliciously picant and went extremely well with the creamy coconut rice. The pad thai was a bit of a disappointment, but I guess that's to be expected after it's been crammed in a plastic container for 10 minutes. All in all the meal was extremely tasty, it wasn't particularly cheap but it was overall worth the money.


Cost of meal: $80
