I’ve had a couple of visits now to Saha. Both occasions the venue has been busy but not busy enough to turn away from. Service has been fantastic on both occasions with all staff friendly and accommodating. The venu has a few different seating options to give your dining party choices.

Now let’s get to the food:

I have two words that are at the forefront of my mind – BURGERS & WRAPS. They are sensational. You know you have met a kindred spirit when meeting the founder of this website and they don’t shy away from going for flavour over function at a new meeting! Ms EarBud took the burger special of the day, the Chicken Slaw Burger and I was very tempted to arm wrestle her for it when it arrived – it looked SO good. Served with fries and aioli on a brioche bun, I had a serious case of FOMO.

The wraps I have enjoyed on 2 occasions. First visit I had the Shawarma Wrap which was jam packed with robust Middle Eastern flavours. The pickles lifted the wrap from delicious to extraordinary. Such a simple element certainly punched above its weight. Sriracha and tahini spicy sauce and perfectly cooked chicken rounded off the dish.

Second wrap I enjoyed was the Za’atar and Labneh Flatbread. Labneh is very underrated in my opinion being a soft, creamy cheese made from draining the liquid out of yoghurt. It’s creamy mouthfeel was a perfect foil for the spices mixed into the cucumber salad. This was a light meal that would be popular for those that prefer a savoury option for morning and afternoon tea.

Saha is very unassuming from the road and it was only a local’s insider knowledge that I knew it existed (and I kind of hope that it stays that way on a purely selfish level). It will not be long before I return because I feel the call from a very special Halloumi Burger …

When you’re meeting with your new food reviewer and they suggest this place, you suspect the food is going to be top notch – it was.

The name “Saha,” meaning health in Arabic, truly lived up to its promise of providing nourishing and delightful food. They offer all-day breakfast, brunch, and lunch options.

The café’s layout is unique; an old-style family home transformed into a social eating place. It has a lovely, homely feel with several rooms to choose from. Each room has a different ambience, all elegantly designed, appealing to the eyes, the ears (and of course, the taste buds).

🍽 I ate: the special of the day, the grilled chicken burger with slaw in a brioche, accompanied crispy chips, and a tasty aioli sauce – it was drool worthy.

Note to self though: don’t have a meeting while eating a burger……..

✅ Access friendly: ramp to front door, car parking, toilets.

✅ Service: can not fault. Attentive table service and the staff serving up great coffee with genuine smiles, which instantly brightened up my day.

✅ Pet Friendly: A bonus was the dog-friendly policy, allowing diners to bring their furry companions to bask in the experience on the inviting veranda.

✅ Dietary Options: Being Middle Eastern there are lots of Vegetarian, Vegan and GF options

EAR BUD Q TIP & STAV HOT TIP

During my visit, I had the pleasure of speaking to Stav, who was very helpful with these recommendations.

EAR BUD:
As it is an old house, with minimalist furniture, it can be moderate when people are inside. The food and service are divine, so it will be moderate in volume more often than not.

For serenity seekers choose one of the rooms away from the main entrance. This will shield you from the noise from the counter, the coffee machine, and people walking past as the only people in this area are diners seated there. When these rooms are full though, they will be moderate in volume (but still quieter than the main room by the entrance).

STAVS HOT TIP:
Avoid 12 – 1.30, as lunch time is popular.
The brunch crowd is unpredictable, but traditionally Mondays and Wednesday are the quieter brunch sessions.
And avoid Saturdays, they are lively all day.

I was here at one of the busier times and the atmosphere was buzzing. But can I say, as an ambience lover and food lover I will return. The food and service were that good that I left on an endorphin high after enjoying three of life’s simple pleasures. Great food, great company, and great service.

Note: aside from the image of the burger, they have been taken from their socials and I don’t like taking photos of other diners.
