    One of the best Thai restaurant experiences I've ever had. Quick service, amazing food and they've accommodated us on a Saturday night even though we turned up at the door with no booking. Although I'd recommend to book in advance to avoid any disappointment.

    The food was great! Can’t commend it high enough. It came out incredibly fast and it was delicious all around. The interior is gorgeous and offers a sharp juxtaposition of the entrance where the seats are darker and more intimate versus in the middle of the restaurant where there is a huge skylight and everything is bright and more family oriented with benches instead of booths and tables. The food was delicious and the cocktails were okay, they took longer than the food to arrive but that’s a very minor thing. The hostess was very helpful and kind and managed to find us a seat even though we didn’t book. We also wanted to order dessert as we got the dessert menu but unfortunately the staff took about 20 minutes to come back to us to take the order at which point we had already lost appetite. Overall it was good food and a good experience but the staff were a bit slow and the prices a tad too high for what it should be. Otherwise an okay restaurant

    The new location in South Williams Street is fabulous, High ceiling, really bring you back to authenticity of Thailand. Service is very excellent, staff are impactable 9/10 Food was good, somewhat pricy for starters. Not worth it. Cocktails are €12 very good selection. Great place to stop after a day of shopping in down! Will go again!!!

    Food was DELICIOUS. Staff was very nice. Don’t get extra spicy if you can’t handle heat. Their spices are strong. I ordered mild spicy and it was really nice

    Fantastic food, atmosphere, and service. Appetizers were excellent. Spring rolls (4) were delicious and the chili chicken for the main was wonderful. Spicy but can be adjusted to your liking. The desserts were excellent too. The bill was also very reasonable given the food quality and service. Would return. Top place.

    Main spicy chicken and beef dishes were very tasty but so expensive at over €28 each. Duck spring rolls starter were bland and small portions for the price. Service was fast and friendly but it did feel like they wanted us in and out quickly as it was mid week and after 8pm.

    Visited Saba on a Saturday, and it was very busy. We had not pre-booked a table, but they were so accommodating, and we waited less than 10 minutes for a table to become available. Service was quick and friendly. The food was delicious, and I'd definitely go back again. Lovely wedding anniversary meal. 😋 😍

    Came here with a big group of people from work. They have a few vegan options on the menu. So it was not hard to eat here for me. Food was really good. I enjoyed all the dishes, especially the tofu balls. Definitely recommend this for small and large groups.

    It's ok, but not great (and see update at end). The squid starter was very nice. The chicken and the duck we had as mains were both a bit underwhelming - bland to be honest. It was handy that they seated us right next to the toilets, despite there being room elsewhere. The piped music wasn't needed or wanted, and was more tuned for a bar than a relaxing eating experience. It also seemed a bit over priced. I usually love Thai restaurants, and am never disappointed. But there's always a first time for everything. UPDATE: 16 May 22. Anna at the reservations team has been in contact and sent me a gift voucher to go back and have a meal when I'm next in Dublin. She could not have been more friendly, helpful and determined to provide redress. I'll look forward to returning when I can, and hopefully finding that my visit was untypical. Five stars for the follow up from Anna.

    Food is pretty average, nothing special. Fresh and tasty but nothing different to most other Asian restaurants. Quite noisy. No wow factor here. The staff are nice and service is good.

  • 3/5 Graham S. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly staff. Nice restaurant decor. Food was OK if a little pricey. Main courses were very tasty, but our starters were fairly small, and arrived immediately after order. Starters seemed to have been reheated. €100 for meal with two drinks and shared dessert. Bottled water expensive.

    We have booked a table for six people and we were pleasant surprised that we were seating on the high comfortable chairs and we were able to observe and see all restaurant. We took few different starters for sharing and it was good idea to taste and try. They have A La Carte Menu but there is also special menu for 50 € per person (starter, main course and desert). Everyone order again different main course and I was able to try from everyone. My order (Hake in banana leaf) was the best, this is highly recommended to try. Prices are high and service tips included on the bill but it is up to you if you want to pay or leave tips. Our waiter or manager from Lithuania was super hospitable, polite and professional. He was looking after our table and let us feel that we are royal family. Interior, skylight and all atmosphere all together made our Friday evening.

    It was very nice here. Laid back, clean and lovely staff. The food was exceptional, and the cocktails were nice of a little expensive. The prawn crackers were actually the nicest I've had. I got the lettuce cups and they were really good and spicy. Friends got curry's a d said they were delicious.

    I’ve been in Saba for at least 5 times. Such an extraordinary place to have Thai food. During the day is really nice as the place is super bright, and at night it’s so cozy as everything is full of candles. The staff always is helpful and kind. Food quick and delicious!!!

    We had dinner there and we enjoyed it a lot! Gluten-free options are clearly marked on the menu. We had Gaeng Karee Fuktong and Gaeng Pet Nua, with steamed jasmine rice & Saba brown and red rice. The food was very tasty, service was fast and welcoming, and the atmosphere is lovely with nice decor and music. I would go back and I recommend it!

    My favourite restaurant in Dublin. My last visit meant I had to finally review though. I had incorrectly booked into Baggot Street on a busy Thursday instead of the south William street one. However, the people working here managed to fit us in thankfully, and the service was as exceptional as always. The food was incredible as it always is!
