The owner of one of the city's most popular restaurants "always wanted to come to Liverpool."
This year, Rosa's Thai, known for its red curry and 'drunken noodles' dishes, is celebrating 15 years since it was first founded. Headed by husband and wife duo Alex and Saiphin Moore, who combined modern London with modern Bangkok by starting out on a Sunday market, the first restaurant opened on the site of a popular East End cafe on Hanbury Street in 2008.
An institution to locals, out of respect for its previous owner the name of the business was kept and from there the Rosa's Thai name has spread across the UK, opening its first site out of London in Liverpool in 2018 and now having branches in Manchester, Nottingham, Cardiff and more. Co-founder Saiphin, originally from Thailand, said she never thought the business would be as busy as it is now and that she was very excited when the opportunity arose to come to Liverpool five years ago.
