Sanaa what to eat

We are normally a party of 6-8. Typically, we'll get 2 orders of the bread service and all the potjie choices and share everything. It's worked out well and the variety is fantastic.
 
Will be going to Sanaa for the first time. What’s the best things to order?
It's our home resort... LOVE Sanaa! Definitely order the bread service! It's amazing! They also have (or had at one point) a sampler meal where you would get a little bit of the most popular dishes like Butter Chicken... etc. All the food is really delicious! The kids meals are also very generously sized, and at one point the kids even got a dessert with their meal as well.
 

Besides the bread what's something that's relatively "healthy" but also tasty for someone on a restrictive diet (fat, carbs etc). Not like a salad, which is healthy, but you wouldn't go to Sanaa for.
 
I've only been once nad had the butter chicken. It was very good, but the bread service stole the show. Be warned, the spreads for the naan vary from mildly sweet to super spicy. Your server will explain what they all are, but don't forget! 🤣
Absolutely the answer to OP's question is the bread service. We've learned over the years how far up the line we go with the spreads/sauces, as we're not into super spicy. Now instead of making a mistake with a really hot one, we have the server trade out the top 3 hot ones for duplicates of the ones we really like. They do that without question, and it makes for a perfect meal.

I'll have to try that next time I get the bread service. Last time I got it, about 6 of the 9 dips were too spicy for me, but I remember that I LOVED the cucumber raita. I don't want to sub out all 6 of the ones I thought were too spicy-DH and I both agree that it would nice if my palate were a little more tolerant of spicy foods, but if I could swap out some of the spiciest.

I know no one here is the chef but can you remember off the top of your heads if most of the dips seemed "healthy"? By that I mean not thickened with oils or the such. I'm thinking more like how salsa at a Mexican restaurant is mostly just ground up tomatoes and onions and what not. Or were they more like dips in the traditional sense like a salad dressing type consistency.

We'll double up on our favorites, which are the cucumber and the tamarind chutney. I think there is a tomato one that's really good, too! We just don't like the spiciest when it's just me and my wife, so we ask for a little bit more of what tastes really good!

Sorry, not sure how to answer that. I don't get 'salad dressing' out of any of the dips/spreads, but I really have no idea how healthy they all might be. And to be honest, eating all that amazing bread loading with butter? The dips have to be healthier, don't they?!!

They are nothing like salad dressings or potato chip dips.
The dips at saana are light, tasty. But some are spicier than others.

This was my most recent order - and agree on all points! I honestly would be beyond content ONLY ordering the bread service for lunch/dinner!
