About Sabai Sabai - Harborne
Thai cooking in Harborne done with real elegance — the designer décor and careful lighting give the room an upscale feel that most neighbourhood restaurants here don't bother with. On the plate, the green Thai curry draws the loudest praise from locals, with the duck salad, coconut rice and dynamite prawns all close behind. The menu stretches to junior options at lunch, which matters when you're bringing kids. What keeps people coming back, though, is the floor staff: Jay, Alex, Aryan and the rest of the team are named again and again for being warm, attentive and genuinely present — checking in on the food, offering to take photos, singing happy birthday without being asked. Reservations are worth making.
