Saba Thai & Curry Lounge in Scarborough

I booked a table online on their website for our wedding anniversary. When we arrived, there was no restaurant just 3 chefs doing takeaway orders!! All the tables and chairs were stacked up! The website showed photos of a newly refurbished restaurant which is non existent!! We will not be using this place ever again!!

This was the worst restaurant experience we've ever had, the service was non-existent, the food was , undesirable and there was absolutely no atmosphere. Probably down to the fact that there was no staff, no food, no tables and chairs, bo napkins, knives or forks and no drinks ! IT WAS CLOSED.... AS IN CLOSED DOWN ! No mention of this on TripAdvisor or on their own website, which allowed us to book a table ! So there we were, dressed up to the nines, with no place to go...THANKS, TripAdvisor, Sabo..Internet people

Called in on an off chance fantastic food and great service highly recommend

We popped into The Saba by chance on Tuesday. It was advertised to serve half price on all main meals. We were not disappointed, beautifully cooked food served fresh & hot. Couldn't fault the service, very friendly waiter who topped up our glasses of wine. I gave 4 stars for atmosphere because the music system wasn't working.

Very tasty food and plenty of choice with service with a smile. Will return in September when back in Scarboro.

Really enjoyed food was very nice and staff was nice too garlic bread was amazing very good like bring back in Indian great

Amazing food,will definitely go back,highly recommend 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟The service was fantastic too,and the food was cooked quickly, gorgeous food.

Great meal for all, would highly recommend

We had a great meal at Saba. The night was a bit chilly but we were cosy and warm inside the restaurant. We were looked after perfectly and really enjoyed our food and our time there.

This place has only just opened, yet it was the best dining experience i have ever had. the staff were so friendly and everything about the food was perfect. I’m so excited to return !!

food was amazing and staff are super super friendly and are very welcoming, would recommend and would love to come again.

Warm and welcoming upon arrival. Fresh new look, lovely staff and manager. Excellent customer service from all staff. So friendly. Clean and tidy restaurant!Sparkling! Food was absolutely spot on. So tasty 😋

This was originally a Chinese restaurant. Then they decided to cash in on Indian food by opening the top of the restaurant as Indian food and leaving the downstairs as the original Chinese food. This is Chinese owned and trying to cash in on Indian and Thai may I add. Stick to your own food. Avoid

I ordered a pick-up through the webiste they linked (indianmahal), where there was no inofrmation that the restaurant is closed. The order got accepted the next day while the money left my bank account. No one is picking up the phone. Edit to add: received my refund few day later.

Visited after the Saba had been recommended in the Hotel guide book. The place does not sell alcohol so we started with cokes which were not fizzy. The shared veggie starter was ok. My main of a special massala was more like a korma with very little meat in it. Then my wife who is vegetarian ordered a Paneer Jalfrezi and was then served a CHICKEN Jalfrezi (good spot by me , Paneer usually comes in cubes and not slices) . They took the chicken dish away and replaced with a paneer one which was very oily. Cleanliness was poor, with cobwebs under our table and around the window. They took the price of the Paneer dish off the bill but seeing as it was 2 for 1 mains Tuesday anyway it wasn't really an apology . All in all probably worst Indian meal we've ever had.

Just had a take away from here. Wow! We had Thai fishcakes, chicken jalfreizi, saba special masala. Wonderful, sauces yummy, meat cooked perfectly. Will be back very soon.

We booked a table for 8 (7 adults and 1 child). When we arrived at the restaurant they hadn’t prepared for a table of 8 and had to quickly set one up. We were told on arrivals that on the menu the Thai food wasn’t available, and there was no alcoholic drinks. This would have been good to know before we attended as a lot of us wanted Thai. We got poppadoms quite promptly, but it took them around 20 minutes to come back and take our actual food order. We ordered our food and the 3 starters we had ordered came fairly quick. The onion bahjis looked good but the prawn pakora was just 4 small battered prawns on a huge plate with a dribble of sauce on the side and a tiny amount of salad (1 slice of dry cucumber, lemon slice and 2 lettuce leaves). The mains then took around 40 minutes to come, we asked for the child’s food to come first but it didn’t come until all of the adults food came. During our visit there were only 2 other tables of 2 that came in after us, and ordered after us and got their food before we got our food which was disappointing. The curries all came before the rices, with the rice dishes coming out 5-10 minutes after the curries so the curries had got cooler waiting for the rice. We personally will not be returning to eat in as it wasn’t a great experience. I can’t imagine how long it would have all taken had there been anymore tables. The staff were polite and apologetic. But they just were not prepared for our table - despite us pre-booking. All in all the main dishes were good, but would stick to take out from Saba in the future.

Since changing ownership. I wouldn't visit this restaurant again.. The food isn't as good, no atmosphere and the waiter was very curt..

Food from start to finish was absolutely amazing. Highly recommended. 5 stars if we lived closer we would order from here every week. Service was amazing.

The Food is fantastic. Best curry I have ever had, and the service was good. I would highly recommend it! 😋 😍 🙌 👌 😌 👏 😋

My husband ate indian food and I had thai. Both meals were delicious and piping hot (which I like). Food was very reasonably priced. The service was great. Staff were so lovely and friendly.

Great food and Excellent Customer service. We couldn't ask for more.

Visited Scarborough for a golf tournament was recommended saba asian fusion the food was excellent with big portions the staff were incredibly friendly especially the waiter Ady i think his name was made us laugh so much had all 7 of us in stitches would highley recommend it to whoever is visiting Scarborough

It's unexpectedly good! I was worried when I saw its rated 4.2 score, yet it became the best Indian food I ever tried! Their price is reasonable, and the favor is rich enough! I know they are training a couple of new waiters, but they are absolutely polite and kind. Highly recommended and will visit again next time! (It's the best thing to try after you are boring with burgers and fish and chips...)

Food was brilliant and staff was excellent five star and would recommend to everyone ask for waior abbey he was friendly and professional.

It was good to see this place has reopened and we received a very warm welcome. The service really was spot on throughout and the speed of delivery was just right. We went for the meal for two and really enjoyed the mixed starter, main courses and sides, the special being particularly good. And the naan bread was stunning!

The staff were very friendly when we got there, the choice of food was very good with a choice of Thai or Indian, we ended up getting one of each and wasn't disappointed. Lots of flavour and good portion sizes. We paid under £50 for a starter to share, two mains, nann bread, rice and 3 drinks - two of which were large wines. Overall a good experience and would have no problem recommending them. If I had to pick any faults it would be that they tried to sit us next to other couples even though there was plenty of other free tables spread out, I politely said we're we'd like to sit and they accommodated with no issues no wasn't an issue.

Had a tandoori mix grill, partner had had lamb tikka biryani and was delicious, staff really friendly.

Very great meal great server Adam food was fresh and tasted great thanks for your hospitality

Apparently just reopened after a refit. We had previously used this restaurant to have takeaway, but just had a sit down meal. The quality was excellent, had both Indian & Thai meals, very tasty, the staff were attentive & polite & overall a very good evening 👍

Order was wrong, quickly brought out the correct curry, ive had a lot of curries in my life but these seemed to be very overspiced, also the peshwari nan wasn't!!!

So glad they're back open, food and service was absolutely excellent as always, cant wait until the Thai menu is back on this week!

The best curry any of us had ever eaten. The staff were amazing as well, even the chef came out to talk to us. Highly recommend just wish it was nearer to where we live! Would consider a day trip back to Scarborough just for a curry though!!!!

Tried this newly refurbished restaurant last night, friendly staff and top class tasty Indian food, would highly recommend and will definitely visit again on our next trip to Scarborough

Absolutely amazing experience. After a day of being Scarborough tourists, we called in and had the fish set meal. Every course was delicious, each element having different levels of spiciness to appeal to both our requirements and the staff were welcoming and accommodated our needs...

Absolutely amazing food and service was excellent will be back soon and would recommend to others. Newly refurbished and decor and lighting looked amazing.

The restaurant has reopened this week an only the Indian menu is available at the moment. These ice was excellent and attentive without being excessive. The ood was lovely - tasty and fresh with good portion sizes. The only reason this is not a 5...

Amazing food, fantastic service and great price! Defo recommend

Excellent food, lovely and friendly staff. Not very busy at all. Check before you go as we were told by the waitress that the business was closing down soon. Would recommend eating there but check it us still open first.

Indian food was delicious. We ask for spicy food and get spice according to our test. every dish we ordered was delicious. If you want to eat Indian food, you must visit this place. The staff and the owner were very hospitable. They make sure that you feel comfy and enjoy your food.

Lovely food, good value for money. Will go back

Lovely restaurant with nice owner. We got the two-person vegetarian menu and it was more than enough food — we had enough leftover for lunch for the two of us the next day. Delicious food as well!

Nice ambience and food. The host is very nice and welcoming. We had vegetarian food and it was tasty. If you want high spice level (South Asian level) then check with them as the food is mild and not too spicy. There is a short stay car park just opposite. You can park free after 6pm if coming for dinner.

Staff were lovely really helpful food was the best one I have eaten in a long time will definitely go back

We go often to this restaurant and in its' current set up, it is a great place to dine. The food is amazing - tasty and a good variety. You can dine in or take away, which can be collect it yourself or have it delivered. The staff are always welcoming. During the Covid days, once it was permitted, we often had to collect and would like to say thanks for the service.

We went yesterday after work 5.30ish was really impressed. The food was very tasty and good portions, the staff were really friendly and helpful. Will definitely go again.

A group of 7 and we all thought both the starters and mains were great. The staff team as always are charming and effecient. Highly recommended.

Good food. Fantastic service 👏 👌

Authentic taste, lovely atmosphere and good value

Delicious meal and good quality

Absolutely amazing food! Staff are lovely and the food is out of this world....the garlic naan is a must! You wont have had better 🤤

5 stars for opening times 4 for the food. We wanted dinner after Scarborough open air theatre concert. Nice mixtire of Thai and Indian and OPEN LATE

Please see the attached photo it literally speaks for itself!!! Absolutely vile!!! To think I actually bit into this chicken 🤮🤮🤮 AVOID!!!

Staying in Scarborough for a couple of days and chanced by this restaurant. Very good food, service outstanding and friendly. Highly recommended

We had Thai dinner here. Great food. Very friendly staff and excellent service. Highly recommended.

Authentic Thai food. Great taste and excellent service

Great food and service. Having some renovations done at the time so decor let it down.But well worth a visit

Firstly, customer service was fantastic, very welcoming, friendly and funny staff made our evening all the more enjoyable. The food was very tasty, and the portions are generous. Thank you so much for your hospitality and kindness

Have had several takeaways and dined in the restaurant. Mixed bahar starter with various bits like ribs etc is always excellent and one of our favourites to start. A great place to go with lots of people because you can always have something Thai or have a more Indian/Pakistani curry. We really enjoy the massaman curry

Lovely meal with great service. Thank you! Our table ordered from both Indian and Thai and both were spot on.

We were sat in an area that looked like a DIY disaster, and directly next to another cuple, though the restaurant was almost empty. Service was good. Prices were reasonable. I've eaten a lot of Thai food and it just wasn't that good.

We ordered the Indian Set Menu for 2, and it was great to see different curries on the set menu. This was great value for money. They served a Thai sweet chilli sauce with the popadoms which was too runny and did not fit in...

Great food. Better than Sitar Bethesda.

You had the option of ordering from the Thai menu or Indian menu. We decided to go for Thai which I think we made a good decision. We got the meal deal where you got a starter for 2, a Thai red curry and a...

Great food and service. The price is spot on too. For Thai food, you go upstairs. For Indian food, it's downstairs.

So this is a place that (or so I believed) does Thai food on one floor and Indian food on another. First impressions, not great. The restaurants aren't separated as advertised so I listened to Indian music while ordering and eating Thai food. I actually...

Very disappointed English girl waitress very helpful other staff was watching all the time felt rushed to eat.Starter was perfect main meal very disappointed no taste nan came was perfect but after a few minutes went hard tikka no spice very coconut taste .Manager came said if we read menu it states 2 types of tikka ? Wouldn't go back knocked £6 off that wasn't the problem it was food

I visited this restaurant twice and while the first time was great, the second time however wasn't so good, I read the menu and ordered my choice the order was good, however on paying the bill , the total was different to what I totalled...

Amazing! The food was fantastic and you have a choice of Indian or Thai. I chose Indian and it was one of the best I've had. I wanted to go back the next day as it was so nice but convinced myself to explore other restaurants. Very reasonably priced and staff were friendly. Highly recommended.

Just had a very good meal here, this time the curry option. Pleasant and efficient service, very clean, and best of all,, very generous portions! I must get back and try the Thai menu next time.

Wonderful food and prompt service. Thank you.

Amazing food and super nice people! Would definitely recommend, get the Tofu :))

Beautiful meals and great staff

It was such nice staff and the food was amazing!! definitely going there again :)

Staff were lovely and pre ordered food was delicious 😋 25 of us in the group.

Can definately recommend this place. We were on a 1 night stay in Scarborough and enjoyed a lovely curry night. I had Thai and my husband had Indian. Menu had plenty of choice, flavours were great, portions were good and staff were polite and informative.

We eat here very regularly and it's always fantastic food, very polite staff and the delivery driver is great too, very friendly; would reccomend this place everytime

This was pretty ordinary to be honest. Nice staff but the place looked like it was still being built and the food was pretty poor. Unimaginative salad, tasteless seafood. Once was enough. Thank you sabotage…

Been here a few times now and each time the food has been amazing. Both the Indian and Thai food is gorgeous. There are good vegetarian options as well as a lot of meat and fish. The service is very friendly and the prices are...

My boyfriend and I ate in the Thai restaurant here whilst on holiday in Scarborough. We are vegan, and we had the vegetarian set menu minus one dish which had egg in it. Well, the food was delicious! Super tasty tofu, gorgeous fried vegetables, delicious mushroom and garlic rice, just fantastic! The curry restaurant looks delicious too, I wish we had tried that!

Good choice, beautiful cooked food, only tried the Indian though

Popped in round about 6. Quiet, probably just opened. The food was excellent, with more than capable staff. Highly recommended 🙂

Absolutely beautiful food and fantastic staff

Food superb staff absolutely great

Went to saba Thai for dinner whilst staying in Scarborough. Such a lovely restaurant. Choice of menus Indian or Thai. We both went for Thai. Highly recommend the golden curry this was beautiful! Will be going again next time in Scarborough!

Delicious food fresh as fresh excellent service ...lovely feast after walking day .. in sea air !! Menu has all options and great descriptions .. easy to look at and decide Prompt attention once placed the order and good communication of when delivered

Hands down one of the best Indian restaurants I have ever eaten at. The food was amazing and the staff were brilliant. Very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. I can’t wait to go back again and again!

Hands down the best Indian restaurant in Scarborough. The food was amazing!! I didn’t want to stop eating. Just stunning

Fab curry night here..beautiful food..wonderful service..we would highly recommend this restaurant 👌

Excellent service. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food is incredible with a varied menu. Would recommend.

My husband had Thai and I had Indian - nice to have the choice! Room was a little cold but felt better after we started eating.

Not everyone In Scarborough makes you feel welcome when you have a young child. However having eaten here tonight the service and atmosphere was great, friendly and welcoming and to top off the great food was lovely! Highly recommended and we will definitely come again. Well worth a visit and also very reasonable priced. Thank you for a great evening!

We ate here last week as a family of 3 adults during our short break to Scarborough and had a great Indian meal. The food was delicious and the staff were also very attentive. We'd certainly return here when we're next in town.

We ate here on 12/08/2021.Scarborough was very busy on Wednesday evening, and we struggled to find a table in any restaurant. So finding this particular place was very welcome.Speaking candidly, the restaurant looked a little tired inside and the menus looked tacky on paper.However, the service was consistently friendly, and the staff happily interacted with us.The food was freshly prepared and tasty. It was nice to see salmon on a curry house menu.The drinks menu was wide in scope and reasonably priced.All in all, a very good evening.

Called in last minute and was taken care of by the excellent staff from the very first minute. Ordered food from both the Thai and Indian menu’s, each item was a taste sensation, the manager was extremely attentive which made a most enjoyable evening. What a great find in the center of Scarborough.

The food was so nice. Unfortunately the manager and his staff were so ignorant it made our long awaited night out one to forget. I'm so disappointed that we will not frequent this place again. The service was so poor. Its so wrong that when you pay good money and when you leave you feel as though you are in the wrong. never again.

Saba is definitly one of the best restaurants in Scarborough. The menue is huge, everything tastes amazing and the food is freshly prepared. Fair prices aswell. The service is fast and everyone is so friendly. Great facilities and location aswell. Definitely like to come back soon!

Worst Padthai we ever experienced.food was greasy and soggy.not worth the money.should have looked for some where authentic Thai restaurant.

very nice food and great owners :)
