Zab Thai Food Takeaway is a Thai takeaway on Yaldhurst Road in Sockburn, Christchurch, holding a 4.5 rating on Google, with a website at zab.co.nz. The best Thai takeaways stand or fall on balance: the sourness of lime and tamarind played against fish sauce, palm sugar and chilli, so a curry tastes layered rather than simply hot. Spice is usually adjustable, so it pays to say what you like; Thai hot is a different league from mild. Saucy dishes such as curries and stir-fries travel well and reheat happily, while anything crispy is best eaten within the hour. Regulars often ask for rice packed separately so it doesn't soak up the sauce before they get home. For Sockburn locals and anyone passing along Yaldhurst Road, Zab puts a well-rated Thai option within easy reach on the way home.
