Saba To Go

I have now tried the Rathmines Saba twice. On both occasions I have been disappointed.
Soggy, greasy veg tempura (though I admit it’s not ideal for a takeaway dish) and pork ribs that should have been thrown out the previous night, but were instead heated up and served to unwitting customers like me, who threw them out on Saba’s behalf, but paid for the privilege. You could have bounced them off the floor, and the sauce was a thick, gooey, gloopy mess.
Avoid.

Yum! Delighted to have been introduced to this gem recently.
Really great food, I especially love the Denang noodles with chicken. I’m slightly addicted to getting crushed peanuts and crispy fried shallots as sides for every meal!
It’s pricier than most but I think the food quality is reflected in that. However I really do feel when you spend over € 20 on a delivery you should at least get free prawn crackers!
Love the chilli chocolate mousse dessert– it’s not always as bubbly as I like it but still tastes damn good!
Beef pad krapow is seriously good and the paleo dishes are so tasty! Big fans.

I hovered between a 3 and a 4, the food is first rate but had a bit of difficulty last night.
Myself and a friend wanted a wee snack after dog walking so popped in here and agreed to get a «meal for one» that they do Monday to Thursday for € 11.95 to share. Its is a main, 2 spring rolls and a can of soft drink, brilliant value. We chose Pad Thai as our main dish and herself ordered a diet coke, and then a chilli chocolate desert. And because we are bad at being good, we also got wine from their bargain bin, for only € 5!
Firstly the food, delicious! Really fresh and the Pad Thai was still hot after the ¹⁵⁄₂₀ minute walk home from Rathmines, I do think a few veggies would have been a welcome addition but still yummy & the crispy spring rolls with a tasty plum sauce went down a treat too. However the girl hadn’t put either the drink or desert in the bag, so we called and they happily agreed to send them out to us, which they did, it took a while, but the desert arrived, minus the drink tho. We weren’t about to dehydrate so didn’t bother ringing back for the sake of it, but did feel a bit of a double check at the store would have avoided the missing items on both occasions.
I will order again, as the food is really good and they have a skinny menu for those worried about the LBDs for Xmas season!

Saba is my favourite takeaway; the menu is broad and very up to date, with many paleo and superfood options available. The staff are very friendly, and the food is just delicious! My go — to is the chicken massaman, although I have tried most of the other curries and noodle dishes, all of which are consistently great. Once, my massaman was very oily and I rang them to let them know and they dropped me down a large replacement curry and were very apologetic, which was very impressive. I couldn’t recommend Saba more :) keep it up dudes

Nowhere else compares for a really good Thai take out. Loving their new paleo menu, take out without the guilt!

We both really appreciated the fact that the women who took our order was very smiling and kind, she told us our order would take around 15 minutes to be ready but I think it actually took only about 10 minutes.
It was really enjoyable that all the orders can be made normal, or gluten free, and that they also have different sorts of ice creams that are gluten free and dairy free, even if we didn’t try those this time we would definitely next time !
We took as a starter the satay gai, we both really enjoyed it, it was a bit spicy, just what it needs to be, and in the same time very soft with all those peanuts !
After that, I had the gluten free pad thai with chicken — very good — and my boyfriend had the gluten free sweet and sour with tiger prawns — according to him, one of the best he had, and he tries the sweet and sour almost everywhere —
The portions are huge, one for two with the starter would probably have been enough, and we were both very hungry.

Do not wait for a cold, rainy, winter night to decide for this take-​away. I was pleasantly surprised upon delivery of this fresh and flavourful Thai dinner. My order arrived promptly and the shop actually called to confirm one of my special notes from my online order. The superfood salad left me satisfied, and without that greasy takeaway feeling! There is also plenty of wok and noodle dishes if you do want to be super healthy… and they arrived fresh and tasty as well.

Overall, the thai food is fairly good. The quality is on par with most thai places around Dublin (Red Torch, Siam) but delivery service has forced me to give the 3 star rating. On multiple occasions orders have been wrong (chicken and prawn pad thai received with no prawns twice). They also have made mistakes regarding the level of spiciness on various dishes.
As stated before, the food is good but delivery problems force me to hesitate before I pick up the phone. I would recommend visiting the dine-​in location.

Great Thai food.
Took it for granted as I live really close and hadn’t really tried many others.
But then I did, and WOW! I love Saba!
However, the reason I’m taking a star off is that last time I got a take away from here, the coconut shrimp tasted and looked like they had been cooked a good bit before.
Every other time, the food has been fresh and tasty.
There was also a bit of a mood-​bag working that evening. Costs nothing to smile… Costs me to go there. I might tell her next time.

Best delivery food I’ve come across in Dublin during my 3 months here. I always order the butternut squash curry with chicken, which is just the right amount of spice. If you don’t like spicy food, stick to «mild» when you place your order. My #1 choice for when I’m feeling too lazy to cook and want something that’s full of flavor!

Delicious! Starters were disappointing except for ribs. Enjoyed all mains, will definitely use again.

Love the food from this place! Check out their Danang and the chicken wings are Mmmmmmmmmm!
One thing missing from this shop — the iki beer they sell in the full restaurant — Belgian Japanese green tea beer… hoochie momma!
(Note that this is only a takeaway — no sit in available)

This place is very handy when you’re feeling to lazy to cook dinner, but don’t want to feel guilty about eating unhealthy takeaway. I think the food is just a little behind the Diep At Home down the road in Ranelagh. On the other hand, Saba have a better choice of drinks and desserts, so it’s really much of a muchness.

When I’m not in the mood to make dinner but feel like treating myself to a gourmet meal, Saba is one of the first take-​away places that comes to mind. It’s my favourite Thai take-​away in town, not only because it stays true to traditional recipes and doesn’t turn down the heat to suit spice-​virgin taste-​buds but the portions are big too so you’ll have plenty of leftovers to feast on next day. A personal favourite are the Bangkok noodles. HotHotHot! and when on a budget, the perfectly seasoned Tom Kha Gai soup has a nice spicy kick. Love it!

Craving delicious Thai food, but don’t feel like trekking into town and paying big bucks at the regular Saba? Problem solved Saba to go in Rathmines. All the ingredients are fresh and the flavours powerful. I’ve tried a variety of the dishes on the menu and I’ve yet to have a complaint. The service is friendly and the delivery times are with in reason despite it being a busy spot. It’s also possible to pick up your order in the store and within there you’ll find a clean and well stocked shop. My favourite part is that they’ve added both wines and desserts to the takeaway menu, not that I’m really hungry enough for dessert after a nice curry, but I’m always happy when someone delivers drink to my door! I would definitely suggest Saba to go over other Thai takeaways in the area for both consistency in food quality and consistency in delivery times/​service.

Dublin’s best Thai takeaway by a long shot.
Curries have lured me back to Thailand time and time again (of course the stunning temples, beautiful beaches and friendly smiles are a bonus too but I would be lying if I said food wasn’t the main draw!), the creamy, spicy coconuttiness is pure heaven. However I have struggled to find a decent Thai takeaway in Dublin, and my homemade attempts have never quite managed to deliver the real deal. After years of takeaway disappointments, I moved to Rathmines and discovered Saba to Go. And what a discovery it was. The red curry is fiery hot, laced with lemongrass and thai basil, with just enough sweetness to counteract the pungent sourness of the fish sauce. The vegetables are perfectly cooked in every dish, and the king prawns are succulent and juicy. The massaman curry is a ridiculously rich, peanut-​based lamb curry, with silky onions, potatoes and coconut cream, spiced with cinnamon and cardamon.
The tubs the curries come in are the largest I’ve seen for any takeaway, and we comfortably shared a green chicken curry between two last night., taking the sting out of the higher than average takeaway prices.
The Saba Restaurant on Clarendon street remains unvisited for me (I struggle to understand the cocktail-​bar style theme that so many Thai restaurants seem to fixate on, cosmos and curries just don’t go together for me) but they apparently do a great early bird.

Simply the best Thai delivery place in Dublin. Excellent Thai-​fusion dishes. Fresh ingredients, high-​quality meats, and if requested they make the food spicy (a rarity in Dublin). Delivery is quick and professional. I live in D2 and it usually takes about 40 minutes. The Hoisin Duck Rolls and Bangkok Noodles rock.
The location in Rathmines is for take-​out/​delivery only but offers the same selection as the main restaurant on Clarendon Street.
A very solid 4 star option (would be 5 stars if they had the same fixed-​price menu pricing as the restaurant).
