A small and unassuming restaurant, nestled on a nameless, dusty street in Mahboula, Sabaidee is an exquisite dining destination for anyone with an affinity for Thai cuisine. Upon your first visit to Sabaidee, you realize that “spicy” means just that. Whether you are dining at their Mahboula location or its many other branches, they do not mess around. The Tum Salad, a chopped vegetable salad with your choice of cucumber, carrot or long bean as the main ingredient, certainly gets the fires burning, but is certainly not to be missed. The mix of the vegetables, astoundingly fresh and juicy, infused with the hot red pepper is a delight for the palate. Finishing your meal in this acutely tidy restaurant, you are treated to a cored orange in a sparkling white dish, the perfect palate cleanser to call an end to this special outing.

Sabaidee has several locations around Kuwait. You can find Sabaidee in Mahboula, behind Alia Ghalia Tower, off the Coast Road (6996 6162); Fintas (6996 6163); Off of Baghdad Street in Salmiya (6996 6165) and in Al Bustan Mall on Salem Mubarak Street (6996 6167), Block 1 Ibn Rushd Street in Hawally (6996 6160) and Mangaf (6996 6161).
