My wife and I did a date night at Ma’am Saab and opted for the Chef’s Tasting Experience — and wow, what an experience! For 65 per person, we were blown away by how much food we got portion wise and variety wise, and how ridiculously rich and flavorful every dish was. Three full courses, each with a variety of meats, sauces, and bold spices that played off each other perfectly. It wasn’t just a meal, it was a journey. Every plate that hit the table brought something new: layered textures, aromatic spices, unexpected combos. It genuinely felt like we were transported to Pakistan for the night, right in the middle of Charleston. The restaurant itself is beautifully unique and clearly built with intention — it has personality, and you can tell the team behind it really cares. To be honest, the tasting menu is one of the best values we’ve had in a long time. If you’re even remotely curious about South Asian cuisine, or just want a night out that breaks the mold, Ma’am Saab is the spot!

I’ve been to Ma’am Saab a few times now and am always pleased after a visit. The vibe is funky and cool, leaves you feeling transported to a different world. The dishes I’ve tried are all bursting with flavor and generous portions. I’ll be back!

Loved this place. Brought me back to my childhood as my neighbors were from Pakistan when I grew up. I would find myself over for dinner at their house. The Host was pure joy and made us feel right at home. Our waitress knowledge of the menu was truly amazing, and the cocktails we enjoyed are some of the best in the city. This place is a must eat for anyone that enjoys good food. I would recommend each ordering an entree and then passing it around family style. Then you will have leftovers to take home and enjoy.

As soon as you open the door to this establishment you get hit with the smell of the spices. I made a reservation ahead of time and I’m thankful that I did because the tables were turning over quickly. I ordered the goat, and my friend got the buttered chicken. The goat was unbelievable, and then I tried the butter chicken and it was even better. I feel like you can’t order anything “wrong” on this menu. We ended up taking food to go because the portions were also so big. The service was the cherry on top and our server was amazing. The sweetest person and made great recommendations.

Tried this place for the first time last week for their Happy Hour! Everything was 10/10 amazing when it comes to service, atmosphere and the food. The happy hour menu had the perfect variety of options for anyone to try or dip your taste buds into Pakistani food. Definitely will be returning!

What an awesome experience we had! My husband and I went for Happy Hour and were blown away. The smashburger is an absolute must, but overall each of the dishes were so full of flavor and artfully plated. The cocktails were wonderful too- I loved my cucumber gin & tonic, which was the bartender’s special of the night. Service was fantastic too. Highly recommend checking them out! Can’t wait to go back for dinner!

Amazing atmosphere and genuine staff. I’ve always had a great experience here. The new happy hour menu is bomb. That smash burger . I really like that the Bartender’s Creation changes by the day. It keeps it fun. I have to get back for the pineapple Negroni.

Had the best time on my first visit to Ma’am Saab. The space is decorated beautifully. Dark, intimate and trendy. We did the chef’s tasting and so had quite a lot from the menu. All tasty, surprisingly while I was obsessed with the naan dipped in butter chicken the chicken wings they have here are my perfection standout. I had a great time with new friends and a part of that was the standout service from Jimmy. He has lovely energy and made sure we were taken care of. Wonderful dinner!
