Nanay Rosa — Restaurant in London

An absolutely amazing lunch experience! The lovely couple who run this restaurant even opened 30 minutes early just to accommodate us—such a kind gesture.

Every dish we tried was exceptional. I’m from the Philippines and deeply love our cuisine, but the chef created such incredible versions of traditional dishes that truly impressed me. The adobo fried chicken was a standout—tender, full of flavour, perfectly crispy, and paired with an incredible sauce. The cucumber salad was fresh and balanced everything beautifully.

My friend had the beef tapa burger, and it was a delightful surprise! The patty tasted exactly like authentic beef tapa (which we usually eat with garlic rice), but served as a burger—it was creative, bold, and delicious. My husband had the mushroom adobo, which was rich, hearty, and full of depth.

To finish, we were treated to a surprise serving of avocado ice cream—a lovely and refreshing touch that wrapped up the meal perfectly.

We also had the chance to chat with the owners, and their passion, creativity, and love for what they do truly shines through—not just in the food, but also in the presentation and attention to detail. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this hidden...

I live locally to Abbey Mills and have ordered from Nanay Rosa twice now and will be ordering more! For my first order, my friend and I shared the Rosa chicken wings, chicken abobo and seasoned fries. We were a little worried it wouldn’t be enough but the portion sizes are generous and we very full and satisfied. I loved how they included a couple of coconut cakes in with our order, it was a lovely surprise and they’re so good! Freshly made. We also got 10% off for collecting our order. The staff are really friendly and helpful too. I recently ordered a lunch time deal, chicken skewers, rice and salad which was really good value for money and I was so full I couldn’t eat my dinner. I highly recommend trying them out! The food is so fresh and well made and they’re really welcoming when you visit. I also recommend following them on Instagram as they add new dishes. It’s been a really tough year for a lot of businesses especially in the hospitality industry so it’s great to be able to support local independent businesses during this time. I encourage everyone to...

This is my second time going to Nanay Rosa (soon to be 3rd while writing this review).

I can never recommend this place enough as it ticks all the boxes I love in a Filipino restaurant. We hired the place exclusively for a work Christmas dinner and my colleagues can't stop talking about it. The food was delicious, home cooked feels and hits the right spot! The servings were more than enough for us for a group of 14 people.

Every Filipino loves a Karaoke so we decided to share this with our non-Filipino colleagues. We had so much fun, we stayed over our allocated time (on the house)! The karaoke is available if you book the place exclusively. The owner has a great singing voice btw 😍

The place is small but it's cosy for a small group and it just made it feel like a family dinner. If this is what you like, this place is perfect for it.

The owners were very hospitable and they accommodated all our requests and even made an extra dish for our vegetarian colleague. Thanks for the bottle of wine too!

I will surely keep coming back :)...
