Rosenheim's founder describes the restaurant as an extension of his own family, built with the idea that "the family would grow under its big roof." That intimacy carries into the food, which the restaurant calls oriental cuisine with western touches, served inside one of Ybor City's historic buildings in Tampa.
The menu moves from light dishes, soups, salads, and cold mezza through hot starters and oriental hot mezza, into oven-fired pizzas, zaatar, and fatayer, sandwiches and wraps, and main courses of steak, chicken, and seafood grills alongside kebab, tikka, and tawook. Desserts run to kunafa, cheesecake, and tiramisu, and the drink list includes coffee, tea, juice, and a hookah lineup that includes a house Rosenheim blend. Diners often gravitate toward the lamb chops, shish tawook, hummus, and lentil soup, with Um Ali as a frequent dessert order.
Beyond the table, Rosenheim leans into its living-room concept, inviting guests to linger over cards, chess, and dominoes — an extension of the founder's original idea of a restaurant that doubles as a second home.
