"The hash browns were hand made from fresh potatoes, perfectly cooked. I chose extra bacon but it didn't need it. It was hard too finish. & fir the price more affordable then Macca's. "
"Absolutely sensational food every single time and this time was no exception. The scrambled egg and bacon croissant was absolutely on point and not a lot of people get the cooking of bacon right but these guys nail it every time.
My coffee was absolutely A+ plus plus and everything was delivered on time hot and fresh."

"I ordered the lemon meringue porridge, at first glance I wondered why it came in a "small" box but then soon realised, its a deceiving box! lol. even though it looked smaller, the presentation was a 10/10 looks identical to the doordash picture. It arrived steamy HOT! Which was amazing! the lemon meringue part was so smooth, porridge had Granola just underneath which made it crunchy and then the porridge was at the bottom. Put all layers together and it was AMAZING! it was my first time ordering from St. Rose and I was a bit concerned to see how it would be delivered but I was blown away everything tasted amazing! thank you!"

"So far, all dishes I've tried have been nice. With their very extensive menu boasting a great variety of dishes, it would take you a good month to explore the lot. If only it all fit in my tummy all at once, I'd have tried them all already in a single sitting. It's that good mate: 2, 4, 6, 8, bog in, don't wait!🤤😋 Prices start around $24 to $28 each dish, with the exception of some biryanis on special just under $20. They add up quick, so go with a few mates and share at least four ways. It'll be the best curry night ever. I definitely recommend the food to one and all!!! Be brave! forget the butter chicken and especially try the chettinad Chicken, the karivepaku chicken, dry goat Curry, bindi curry, the ullavacharu Briyani so on and so forth! And the next morning there'll be just one ring to rule them all with fire! Be prepared to see robot waiters running around taking orders & serving! it's hi - tech Indian cuisine at it's best! And for the boring the butter chicken is good too!😘"

"Only indian food i have liked that i tried. The Lamb Rogan Josh was flavourful with no bones. The portions were great, however i'm not a fan of the nuts in the mango lassi but it was better than other that i have had. I will definitely keep ordering from here especially if they keep giving bread and Basmati Rice"
"I have ordered from here on many occasions and have always ordered a larger size. The portion. This time was a lot smaller than normal with a lot more liquid and less meat. The meat itself was also not as tender as it usually is which was disappointing. The Roddys were both very inconsistent. One seemed to be nice and fresh and the other was quite chewy. Overall I'm disappointed this time."

"The food is so good I loved it a lot and I order Lamb Biryani and when I tell you that's food is so tasty Thankyou for the chefffffffffff"
"Really disappointed with this biryani. The masala was way overpowering — completely drowned out any actual flavor of the rice or meat, just an overwhelming punch of spice with no balance. The meat itself was the bigger issue though — it had an off, stale smell that put me off eating more than a few bites. Definitely didn't taste fresh.
On top of that, this didn't look anything like a proper dum biryani. No visible layering, no signature aroma or texture you'd expect from something actually cooked on dum — just looked like regular masala rice mixed with meat. For the price, I expected far better quality and authenticity. Won't be ordering again."

"The food was delicious! The momos were soooo good and juicy. 😍 However, the Chicken Chilli had so much red colouring that it wouldn't come off my hands even after washing them multiple times, and the stains were still there the next day. Other than that, I'd happily order other items from here again! It would be great if the restaurant could look into the excessive colouring, though."
"Ordered the bhutuwa and was disappointed the dish came swimming in oil, almost like a separate pool of grease sitting on top rather than a light coating. For the price, I'd expect better quality control."

"Packaging was fancy and very neat for gifting. The jalebi was too hard to bite into. It wasn't fresh, as Indian sweets are supposed to be fresh for the best taste and crisp.
Also, portion should be available in less than 1kg too.
Suggestion: Sweets made fresh, upon order. Smaller quantities should be made available to, for smaller groups of people."

"pani puri is amazing"
"I recently had an extremely disappointing experience with this order. The food was of very poor quality — the chicken was dry and served in small pieces, and the entire meal tasted as though it was made with old, stale ingredients. It was clear that the ingredients were not fresh at all. I will never order from here again. What a total waste of money!"
