When we first opened Sabai Mai Takeaway, we didn’t just want to start another food business, we wanted to share something deeply personal. Cooking Thai food isn’t just our job, it’s our way of bringing a little piece of Thailand to our community here in Poole.
We’re proud to be a family run Thai takeaway in Poole, built on love, tradition, and the belief that food tastes better when it’s made with heart. Every curry, noodle dish, and stir-fry we make carries a story , one of family, home, and genuine Thai hospitality.
Our Journey from Thailand to Poole
Our story begins thousands of miles away, in Thailand, a country known for its balance of flavours, street food culture, and warm smiles. Cooking has always been a central part of our lives, something that brings family and friends together.
When we moved to England, one thing we missed the most was the authentic taste of Thai food, the kind you’d find in a bustling Bangkok market or a small local eatery.
We soon realised that many people in Poole had never experienced the true depth of Thai flavours, the fresh herbs, the subtle spice, the perfect balance of sweet, sour, salty, and heat.
So, we decided to change that.
We started Sabai Mai Takeaway with a simple mission: to bring authentic, home cooked Thai food to our neighbours in Poole.

What Makes Sabai Mai Different
There are many takeaways, but we wanted Sabai Mai to feel special, like a home away from home.As a family run Thai takeaway, we focus on authenticity, freshness, and care in every detail.
We cook every dish fresh to order, using real Thai ingredients and time-honoured recipes. Nothing here is rushed or mass-produced. We take the time to get it right.
Here’s what makes us different:
🌿 Authentic Recipes: Every dish follows traditional Thai cooking methods, just like we’d make back home.
🥦 Fresh Ingredients: We choose local produce and high quality ingredients for clean, bold flavours.
❤️ Made with Love: Each order is cooked by hand, with care and passion, not from a pre-made batch.
🚗 Local Delivery: We deliver within 2.5 miles of BH15, so you can enjoy Thai takeaway in Poole without leaving home.
We believe this attention to detail is why our customers call us the best Thai takeaway in Poole. It’s not just about the food , it’s about how we make people feel.
Our Promise to You
When you order from Sabai Mai, you’re supporting more than just a small business. You’re supporting a family that cares deeply about what we do and the people we serve.
We treat every customer like a friend, and every order like it’s being cooked for our own family. Whether it’s your first time trying Thai food or you already love it, we promise a warm, personal experience, full of flavour, generosity, and heart.
Our goal isn’t just to serve food. It’s to create comfort, happiness, and connection, that feeling of “sabai mai” in Thai, which means are you relaxed? are you happy?
That’s what we want every customer to feel when they eat our food , calm, happy, and satisfied.

A Taste of Home, Right Here in Poole
From Pad Thai to Green Curry, every dish on our menu has been chosen for its authentic roots. We’re proud to bring the same flavours we grew up with to your table here in Poole.
We’ve seen families celebrate birthdays with our food, friends share laughter over a curry, and new customers become regulars who we greet by name. Those moments remind us why we started this journey, to share real Thai food and genuine warmth with our community.
So whether you’re looking for a Thai takeaway near me, craving a comforting curry on a Friday night, or just want to try something new, we’re here for you, with open hearts and delicious food.
