The food is nice but the service is not!! any time i have gone, iv felt totally rushed by the waiters. and the second you finish anything they grab the plate from under you.

I love this restaurant, the food is delicious if a little over priced. The cocktails are lovely so if you are a fan it is well worth a visit. The staff tend to rush you a bit though but most likely because they are always very busy.

Love this place. The food and atmosphere are always great! Very relaxed atmosphere and staff are always efficient. Only down side, it sometimes it's hard to get a booking at short notice.

We used to eath there a while ago. Service was barely ok. On top of that the booking i made was not entered in the book. Disapponting and wont be going back. Food was good but not enough to get me back in the door.

Not as wowed as I thought. I've had better Thai for less (Thai Spice on Store St.). Service was fine, place was crowded and the food was decent but not spectacular. I need more convincing. Better than the Chilli Club though.

Good value thai food. There is a great buzz in Saba. The staff are attentive and friendly. Make sure to book if there's more than two of you as it gets jammers. Yummy black pepper squid.

I went here for a work do and it was very busy and I have to say I know why. Plump well cooked prawns, crunchy veg, fluffy rice and flavour in abundance. Yum!

rude manager, bad service, good food. overall experience was ruined by the unhelpfulness of the on- duty manager due to our large party

just like their furniture everything is worn at this stage the menu is boring,the staff are hot and cold and the Meat quality questionable.Do yourself a Favour and give it a wide berth.

I LOVE Saba. They treat me like an old friend then feed, wine & dine me for very little money midweek, and a bit more on weekends. The staff are so friendly and the food is superb. Cocktails are the very best in town and worth the wait.

By far one of the best restaurants in Dublin. The food is great everytime, and the service is top. The only complaint would be that it is very noisy and can be difficult to have a proper conversation.

Lovely restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. Delicious generous mains, with vegetarian options! And yummy desserts, the chocolate pudding is amazing. They also do a wide selection of cocktails at the bar. The staff are also very nice and helpful. Definitely worth a visit if you like thai food.

have been here twice, 1st time had monkfish wrapped in banana skins, v. tasty but second time was disappointed with the pad thai, sauce was too thick, will try again but you could probably get much better thai for cheaper in loads of places

Been to this restaurant a few times, every time very good, the last time we got a free gls of wine as the table was required back before our time was up the Manager was very decent about it, offered us to sit at the bar, the food is excellent here, well priced and the staff are knowledgeable definitely recommend it.

I love this restaurant, especially after doing a food course here once. Maybe more expensive than it needs to be, but almost worth it. Great cocktails too

I would rate Saba quiet highly. Have been there about 4 to 5 times and never been disappointed at all. The mix of Thai, Chinese and Japanese here is great and I'm never hungry leaving the place. Its very handy for town if you have spent the day shopping and want somewhere to kick back, enjoy a nice cocktail and have some top class food!

Thai food is generally delicious and this place is no exception. Lovely starters and mains. It's very busy so I don't recommend it if your seeking a quiet meal though. Make sure you book on a saturday night.

I love Saba, I've been here plenty times and always enjoyed it. It's not the cheapest food in the city but good treat all the same. Some good cocktails as well.

I ate here quite a bit when it opened but I won't go anymore. Their prices went up and the quality of the food, particularly the meat went way down. I particularly dislike when restaurants do this. They start off very reasonably priced with great ingredients then they hike their prices and buy cheaper cuts of meat etc. The last time I went there I couldnt get over how much it was for the massaman and their beef was really tough and unenjoyable. They seem to be busy all the time but I think people go for the ambiance and surroundings which are always lovely, but I have to say I don't think the prices match the quality of the food.

Went there two weeks ago and the food was excellent; the staff was friendly and polite. The only downside was the noise! But definitely worth a visit!

I am always satisfied with the food in Saba, my favourite dish being the Phad thai noodles with chicken,prawn and peanuts.The starters are tasty as are the desserts and the price is reasonable. However, the service is a little slow and though there seem to be plenty of staff milling around, one often ends up waiting a while for one to approach the table. That said, overall, the food and the surroundings are great which is the most important aspect of the industry.

This restaurant is delicious! No two words about it. The atmosphere is perfect for a quick lunch or a romantic meal for two. And if the sun is out, there's a tasty take out menu, with the location (just around the corner from Stephen's Green) making it ideal for a picnic in the park.

I was here a couple of weeks ago and was not impressed by the food or service at all. I thought the food was bland and not overly warm and the service to be seated was slow and the waitress was not particularly friendly. & now for some reason i cant leave 1 star but am stuck on 3!

I have been in Saba several times. It is a fantastic restaurant, wonderful Thai Cuisine. The Manager has always been so accommodating, even if we didn't get a chance to book. Atmosphere is fantastic...curries are amazing. My favourite restaurant in Dublin.
