The Thai word ‘Sabai’ means “relaxed” — the perfect word to capture the spirit of this Brighton gem, where the city’s urban cool meets the charm and warmth of the Land of Smiles. Inspired by both Phuket’s laid-back beach bars and Bangkok’s most elegant dining spots, Sabai offers a slice of South East Asia right here in ‘London-on-Sea'. Popular with both locals and visitors (and a proud member of the Thai Select Award), our tranquil waterfall, tempting cocktails and warm welcome is paired with freshly cooked Thai classics and bold, spicy creations. From Pad Thai to fragrant curries, and embracing vegan and special diets within our menu, every dish is made to order with local produce where possible and authentic Thai spices where essential. Since everything is made to order, special requests are welcomed so please get in touch if we can help in any way with your needs and wishes. Come for the food…. Stay for the smiles… We hope to see you soon!

4. Namo

• Thai • Brighton

Booked 3 times today

We started Namo in 2020 from our home kitchen in Brighton. It was lockdown, and cooking became our way to stay connected: sharing real Thai food made fresh, with care and good ingredients. People welcomed what we were doing, and before long, we moved into The Eagle Pub, where Namo began to grow. The food, the energy, and the people around it gave us the confidence to dream bigger.Now, at 24 Ship Street, the food we create comes from our founder’s roots in northern Thailand from her memories, her journey, and the flavours she grew up with. Every dish tells a story, and many are ones you might never have tried before.This is Thai food as she knows it: honest, full of heart, and made to be shared.

Have been having lunch at the Thai Marina for many years and it never fails to impress! The Dim Sum selection is our favourite and we have to order it every time we visit ! We also love all the starter dishes and have to have a table for 4 people for it all to fit on ! Staff are really friendly and now know us well ! Faultless ! Many thanks to all 👍🏼

We had an amazing lunch here, 4 people and one gluten free individual. The restaurant really caters for gluten free with all GF homemade sauces and no MSG so perfect peace of mind. We recently came back from Bali and the food here tastes just like the cuisine we ate. Fresh, so flavoursome, really good quality meat and good portion sizes. A hidden gem and we will definitely be returning.
