About Saba foods
Beyond our renowned restaurants and takeaways, we embarked on a new culinary venture in 2023 with Dunnes Stores. This collaboration, part of Dunnes' Simply Better collection, marks a significant milestone for us as they introduce a line of authentic Thai products for home cooks. Inspired by our restaurant sauces and crafted with premium ingredients, these products bring the essence of Saba's kitchen directly to your dining table.
Authenticity you can taste in every bite.
Saba is an award-winning Thai & Vietnamese eatery and cocktail bar founded in 2006 by Paul Cadden and Chef Taweesak Trakoolwattana (Tao). The first location opened on Clarendon Street, Dublin, followed by a second on Baggot Street Upper in 2016. In 2020, Saba moved from Clarendon Street to South William Street and opened a third restaurant in Kildare Village.
The Saba Restaurant Group has three restaurants: two in Dublin City Centre and one in Kildare Village, along with three Saba To Go takeaways in South Dublin. Two food trucks also bring the Saba experience to festivals and events nationwide
Having mastered the restaurant and takeaway world, Paul was keen to take the next step into retail and develop a range of Thai products that customers could cook at home. Each product in the range mirrors the flavours and authenticity of our restaurant sauces.
Our Journey with Dunnes Stores: Bringing Saba's Thai Cuisine to Your Home
In early 2023, we embarked on an exciting new chapter when Dunnes Stores approached us to develop an exclusive Thai product range for their Simply Better collection. With nearly two decades of culinary excellence, three renowned restaurants, and three popular Saba To Go takeaways, we have always been passionate about delivering restaurant-quality food to your home. Our customers’ rave reviews of our sauces and flavours over the years inspired us to take on this ambitious project.
This collaboration represents a thrilling opportunity for us to explore new horizons and bring the vibrant, authentic flavours of Thai cuisine to kitchens across the country. We are honoured to join the Dunnes Simply Better family.
“We are delighted to partner with the Simply Better team to bring the vibrant, authentic flavours of Thai cuisine into homes across the country. We have used the finest ingredients prepared to our restaurant recipes to ensure everyone can experience a taste of Saba,” said Paul Cadden, founder of Saba.
Derek Gallagher of Dunnes Stores Simply Better added, “This partnership between Dunnes Stores Simply Better and Saba allows us to reach even more food enthusiasts, enabling them to experience the joy of Thai cooking at home.”
Whether you’re a seasoned chef or an enthusiastic home cook, our Simply Better Thai range empowers you to create authentic, delicious Thai dishes with ease and finesse. Experience the essence of Saba in every meal, and let us bring a touch of our kitchen to yours.
Happy Meeting Place
SABA means ‘happy meeting place’, so our very first aim is to provide happy experiences and memories for our customers. As soon as you step inside Saba you can expect a smile, friendly, professional service, and a happy vibe.
Authenticity
Our chefs work with genuine, Asian-sourced ingredients. The authentic flavours are ensured by sourcing herbs and vegetables from Thai farmers in Bangkok. We also source products from local Irish suppliers and producers to guarantee high quality and freshness.
Every Choice Is Considered
We have implemented new sustainability strategies through the Fifty Shades Greener Programme which help us measure, manage and reduce our environmental impact.
Healthy And Nutritious
All of our dishes have been carefully selected, using the best quality ingredients. We have worked with various Nutritional specialists to highlight the nutritional elements of each dish and help our customers make the right dietary decisions for them.
Family At The Centre
Not only does Saba create a family atmosphere at work, but our team is also full of generations of families who have come from Thailand. We are proud to have 18 staff who have worked with us for over 10 years.
