About Sabai Sabai
Thai food in Birmingham rarely hits this combination of range and consistency, but Sabai Sabai in the Jewellery Quarter keeps delivering. The kitchen covers serious ground — the green Thai green curry and jungle curry draw the most attention, and the calamari and duck spring rolls are the starters people come back for. Tom Yum and papaya salad show up in recent reviews too, both praised for clean, authentic flavour. The cocktails are the other reason people book: 58 mentions across recent reviews is not an accident. Staff are genuinely welcoming — attentive, fast and willing to go above and beyond for a group, which makes it a natural choice when someone has a birthday to mark.
