I've always refused to visit this restaurant, it did not appeal I think to me, then, one day I was obliged to go, since then; I've been promoting their place. :) I learned not to judge anything without trying.
It is a easy going place. Boy, the real Gulf food taste ( such as Kuwaiti, Saudi, Emarati kitchen) and a touch of Northern African Food I think, tender meat and chicken, yum.
a lovely tea with milk (Chai-Haleeb) or they also call it (Karaak) a yummy & generous treat at the end of the visit.
Indeed worth the visit, I am humble to visit again to enjoying their food.
A good place to go with a big crowd. I always take my overseas visitors here to experience a very different side of Melbourne. If you are getting the rice platter which is also called the Madhi, get a mix of ed and white rice with half chicken and half lamb, this way you get to enjoy basically the whole menu. The soup and salad is also awesome. The vaitors are always funny here and you got to have a lot of patience with them. Just humor them and go with the flow.
Change of management. When I was living in Coburg, I frequently visited Roza as the food was great and you always expect to get a big portion of meat. For me it was value for money. Since I moved closer to the city, I never set foot there. However, one day my friends and I decided to have lunch at Roza city (yes there are two Rozas!) back in September 2013. We noticed a sign on the glass window stating 'change of management'. However, that didn't refrain us from ordering food as usual. We noticed that the price had gone up a dollar or two and the guy was wearing earphones as he took our order. We struggled to explain our order as he hardly understands English and wearing earphones with some music on (yes I can hear it) did not help at all. Then came the food, we were surprised that the portion was small (3 small lamb chuncks each!) and the taste was average. During our lunch, the guy did not even bother to serve us water and we had to ask. Then came the jug of water with only two glasses and we had to share glasses!. My advise is if the restaurant or shop has a change of management, I do not think it is a good idea to go even if it is your usual hangout place. I liked Roza before September 2013!
