Why Kemptown diners have options
Lunch when time is tight
Lunch specials suit a quicker stop without losing the feel of a proper meal.
Tapas when you want variety
Small plates make it easier to share, taste more and keep the visit light.
Collection as a back-up plan
If you do not want a table, phone-in takeaway keeps the food simple to collect.
Choose the pace that suits the day
If you are in Kemptown and planning a meal out, we make it easy to choose the pace that suits the day. Some Kemptown diners come in for lunch with somewhere else to be, while others want time for our main menu or an afternoon tapas table. At Sabai Thai, you can reserve online before setting out, which takes the guesswork out of arriving at our North Street restaurant. Because we cook to order and keep a proper sit-down setting, the visit can feel efficient or leisurely without losing the sense of a real meal.


Pick between a quick stop and a longer visit
Lunch specials work well when time matters and you still want freshly cooked food rather than a rushed fallback. Tapas gives you a lighter, more shareable way to eat, especially if drinks are part of the plan, while dinner gives you space to settle in properly. A journey from Kemptown to Sabai Thai can be planned around whichever style suits best. If a table is not what you need, you can also call us for direct takeaway collection, which gives you a practical alternative without giving up freshly cooked food.
Frequently asked questions
Should we reserve before coming from Kemptown?
Yes, it is a useful step, especially if you want lunch or dinner at a particular time. Booking online before you leave Kemptown gives you a clearer plan for arrival and helps the meal start more smoothly once you reach our North Street restaurant.
How do lunch specials differ from tapas?
Lunch specials are useful when you want a quicker or lighter midday meal with a clear finish in mind. Tapas is more about sharing smaller plates and trying several flavours, often over a longer, more relaxed visit with drinks.
Can we call for takeaway instead?
Yes. If travelling in for a table does not suit the day, you can call us and arrange direct takeaway collection instead. That gives Kemptown customers a straightforward alternative while still letting us cook the food fresh and discuss any dietary needs first.
