I ordered the massaman chicken curry with rice and it's so tasty. We also got the prawn crackers, which are really crispy and taste great. The portions are large so my husband and I usually share the main with rice.

All are part of our very special team here at Saba To Go.
Alan, Operations Director

Alan has worked in the food industry since he was a young boy working in the wash up of his parents restaurant The Asgard in Westport, Co.Mayo. Alan spent a lot of time training along side his father in the kitchen, going on to do a Diploma in Hotel Management & Business Studies at Shannon College of Hotel Management. Training in Switzerland & London. He returned to Ireland in 2000 to open his own Restaurant in Castlebar Co.Mayo, expanding his business with his brother Mark they opened Bar One in Castlebar.

Paul, Founder
It was early 2006 and I had found a location on Clarendon Street that felt just right. I wanted to ensure that the food served was as authentic as possible. I had worked with Taweesak (Tao) previously but had heard he had gone back to Thailand for good. My father and I travelled together to Bangkok and met Tao for lunch. I told him about my plan for the restaurant and that I was looking for chefs. He said that he already had commitments in Thailand himself, but he would make enquiries on my behalf.
Later that night we met again for dinner in a restaurant on the Chao Praya River. Tao brought four familiar faces: Paek, Lek, Ting and Addy — I had worked with all of them before. Tao announced that he and the others all wanted to be a part of the new project and would come back to Dublin and work with me. It was an emotional moment. By the end of April, we got our keys for SABA and we opened our doors to the public for the first time on September 12th 2006. Since then, our family has grown. As we celebrate another branch to our tree in Baggot Street, I’m delighted to say that many of the original team are still with us. We continue to grow together.
Tao, Executive Chef
My name is Taweesak (Tao) Trakoolwattana and I’m the ninth child in a family of twelve. Each child had their own jobs around the house. Mine was to accompany my mother to the market every day to buy food and help prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner. She was my first teacher.
I qualified as a chef in 1987 and started my training in five-star hotels in Phuket and Bangkok. In 1994, I went to Germany where I realised that good Thai food is very popular outside of Thailand.
In 2002, I came to Ireland and it was during this time that I worked with Paul. After a few years, we went our separate ways but still remained friends. When Paul came to Bangkok in 2006 and told me about his plan, I was immediately excited and returned to Dublin with four chefs. Working in SABA and SABA To Go is like working with one big family. This is the reason I’m happy to call Ireland my home.

Where possible they work with genuine, Asian-sourced ingredients to create great dishes just like back home; we fly fresh herbs and vegetables direct from Bangkok once a week.

The guilt-free takeaway!
Our menu is Low GL and suitable for customers on the 5:2 diet. Our menu has a combination of allergen symbols and all dishes have been calorie counted and labelled
- Vegetarian

- Dairy Free
- SABA SLIM under 250 calories (suitable for 5:2 fast diet)

All our dishes at SABA also have a very Low glycemic load meaning they do NOT spike your insulin. Our dishes are wholesome and the more fibre, protein or fat in a food the less it will spike your insulin. For example, WHITE rice will spike insulin if eaten alone but mix with a coconut milk based curry and it will take down the overall glycemic load. Opt for brown rice, this is naturally low on the glycemic index because of its high fibre content.
We know life has gotten a lot faster, but hopefully we can help by providing you with delicious and healthy food — whenever, wherever. Ireland’s healthiest take away delivering nutritious, hot food to your desk or home.

“Friends of the Earth campaigns for environmental justice and sustainability. We believe in sustainable development – meeting the needs of the current generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. And we believe in fair shares – too often the poorest communities in the world are denied access to the natural resources essential to life, such as fresh water, while rich countries consume and pollute recklessly. Here in Ireland our top priority right now is to ensure this country does its fair share to prevent runaway climate change. You can play your part by signing up to Act for Climate. Together we can shift the balance.”
We’d like to think we react to our customer’s enquiries with speed and sincerity. Please call or email us if you have any feedback, we have a brilliant team standing by to assist you.

Reviews
Excellent takeaway. I have eaten from here and also their restaurant in the city centre. I highly recommend Saba for Thai food. We ate at the restaurant first and then discovered they have a takeaway down the road from us. I was a bit dubious about ordering from the takeaway as I was blown away by the quality of the food in the restaurant and I was skeptical that the takeaway version would measure up. I was completely wrong. The takeaway tastes exactly the same as the restaurant. It's amazing!

Delicious, healthy, tasty takeaway - that never disappoints! Last time when I was ordering, the friendly staff let us know our order could be part of one of their meal deals to save... and they offer many good vegetarian and fish options.

Love lazy Fridays and after a hard week of work and BBQ's, we wanted something fresh & tasty. Saba To Go offers an amazing value meal, consisting of delicious spring rolls, two mains and a lovely bottle of house red wine, all at as steal for €32.00. I had the massaman curry and my boyfriend the pad Thai both were delicious. The house red a yummy merlot washed it down nicely. I can't wait for next date night.

Saba To Go came to Mink for our Christmas Party in our flagship store in Ballsbridge, and it was the perfect mix of delicious food, super wine, and excellent service. It was a unique request to see could they cater for 40+ people in a salon environment, and Alan was just so helpful, it was a pleasure. Our team left with Saba To Go boxes, which was a lovely touch at the end of the night. I would highly recommend their catering, the whole experience was first class.
Mink
Saba To Go recently catered for a private party of 30 people, excellent service from start to finish, food was delicious, enjoyed by all and very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend for party catering.
