Fully halal build-your-own pasta and lasagna — hidden gem
Rosa's Pasta Express
A hidden gem that deserves way more recognition. Rosa's lets you build your own pasta with fully halal options and the result is excellent every time. On Thursdays and Fridays they have a lot of lasagna, which is also really good. Great value, good specials, and a concept that's hard to find in the halal space.
What to Order
Build your own pasta — take your time with the combinations. The lasagna on Thursdays and Fridays is also a must.
Must Try
The pasta — customised exactly how you want it. That's the experience.
Our take from the visit
Genuinely excellent and underrated. Rosa's fills a gap in the market — a proper, build-your-own halal pasta spot with quality ingredients and good value. If you're in the area, don't overlook this one.
