Saba Maison De Luxe, Sunderland

About us

My journey to opening this restaurant has been nothing short of a battle against skepticism and adversity. I faced a constant barrage of negativity, with people telling me that Sunderland wasn’t ready for my idea, that it wouldn’t succeed. But I refused to be discouraged. My drive was fueled by a dream, a vision I held close, inspired by my father Syed Khalid, who dedicated his life to the restaurant industry.

This dream wasn’t about just any restaurant; it was about bringing to life a specific vision I had harbored for years. I had my heart set on a particular location, the place known as Victors. For two long years, I imagined turning it into my own culinary space, dreaming about it every single day. This dream became an ambition, a deep-seated desire that I nurtured amidst doubts and disbelief.

My journey has been more than just a business endeavor; it has been an emotional voyage, a testimony to the power of perseverance and the resilience of vision. The establishment of Saba Maison de Luxe isn’t just the opening of a restaurant; it’s a triumph of hope and determination over relentless skepticism. It stands as a symbol of my spirit and dedication, the realization of a dream against all odds.

When talking about support, though you are not longer with us your guidance and wisdom continue to inspire me every day Mark Hird. Thank you and your family for the indelible impact you’ve had on my life.

Finally I would like to add a very special Thank You to Linda Wrout from Lime Leisure Ltd.

Linda your unwavering belief in my dreams and your generous support in helping them become a reality have been the guiding lights on my path. I am profoundly grateful for your faith in me and the invaluable role you’ve played in turning my aspirations into achievements!.

Nice pub, was busy due to P!nk concert. They had music playing outside which was a nice touch. Staff were as friendly as they could be considering how busy they were.

Good place to go before a game, and if the weather is good a good size beer garden

The Guinness wasn't poured properly and tastes like my dogs hair, service was so slow. There was no room to sit anywhere had to drink my pints in the pouring rain.

Can be hit and miss with bar service on quiet match days ( less attractive opposition resulting in smaller crowds ) They sometimes don't open the bottle bar, which has resulted in queueing times of 15 or 20 minutes this season ( 2017/18 ) It used to be pay on the door, but now there is no charge. The male toilets downstairs are a bit cramped, but other than that, the prices are good, & it remains our regular pre & post match watering hole, as the other nearest pubs to it get rammed on match days.

A friendly local pub, originally a working men's club, The Victory is very much open to the public nowadays. It's location near the Stadium of Light makes it a good watering hole for thirsty football fans, away fans are very welcome in this laid back, family friendly establishment. Drinks are very reasonably priced with a good selection of ales, lagers, ciders and wines.
