"Hands down the best pad thai we've ever had. Especially the prawn one. Portion size is generous. The freshness, perfect crunch, sweetness and depth of flavor are astonishing. The coconut cooler was incredibly refreshing. Hats off to the attentive and kind staff. Definitely recommend!"

"By far the best customer service that we have received while in Bali and now Lombok. Ari was one of the helpful staff whose name we got, but there were many others. This was our first stop off the boat and we weren’t disappointed. Staff was very friendly and quickly seated us upstairs with a nice view of the street. We quickly received a free veggie fritter appetizer which was a pleasant surprise. The staff was helpful picking out entrees when we had a bit of indecision. Tom yum was out first and was delightful! It had a nice fresh taste with a small bit of kick. The lemongrass chicken salad and chili beef basil arrived just as we finished the soup. They were both very tasty and hit the spot. I finished with an iced americano and the taste was amazing! We ended up speaking with the staff and learning that the owners were there that afternoon. We took a moment to congratulate them for a successful business before we continued on our journey. Everything was awesome and definitely recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

"The location is warm and peaceful. The food is delicious and traditional. The are gluten free and veggie options. And what to say about the service? The staff is incredibly polite and friendly. All the waiters are informed about the ingredient in each plate and will suggest you what to order based on your allergies. They welcomed us in the greatest way for our first lunch in Gili Air that we wanted to come again for our last dinner tonight. See you soon! <3"

"Had the most amazing meal here with my family. A cute restaurant, we sat upstairs under cool fans. The service was impeccable, they were very attentive and the meals came out really quick. Complementary veggie fritta was also nice. Chili prawns were so delicious coved with garlic and other yummy spices (not to hot) Duck noodle dish, my son devoured it. Massaman curry was very tasty. A variety of meals and drinks on the menu. Clean amenities. Definitely worth a visit. This place is run very well."

"We had dinner at Sabai Sabai twice during our visit to Gili Air—and for good reason! I couldn’t resist going back for another plate of their incredible Thai green curry. The flavours were vibrant, perfectly balanced, and spiced just right. Special mention to Yatie, as she remembered our order from two nights before and knew straight away that I liked a bit more spicer curries, and then ensured to add a bit more punch We also tried the Masman curry, which quickly became my husband’s favorite—a must-try if you enjoy more creamier curries. The staff were wonderfully attentive, and the restaurant’s ambience made the experience even better: beautiful lighting, tasteful décor, and a lovely view of the street. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Thai food in a welcoming setting!"
