Borza's Fish'n'Chips in Balbriggan

Today was my first visit to Borza Takeaway in Balbriggan, and my first impression was quite mixed. The premises are quite large, especially the kitchen, and you can see that they prepare a lot of orders. I was interested to see how everything was organised and specifically wanted to see where the kebabs were prepared, but I couldn’t see a kebab counter from the customer area — perhaps it is further inside the kitchen. The woman taking orders behind the counter seemed friendly and pleasant. However, I noticed the appearance of the staff. She was not wearing a uniform or a hair covering. The other staff members I could see in the kitchen were wearing uniforms, but they were also not wearing hair coverings. The front counter/display area looked quite empty — I could only see a few prepared items. Surprisingly, though, our order was ready very quickly, which was definitely a plus. Unfortunately, when we got home, we discovered that one of the two pizzas was not the one I had ordered. I specifically ordered the Chilli Beef, Jalapeño & Taco Mayo pizza because I wanted to try that particular combination. Instead, we received a different pizza. Both pizzas looked appetising and there was a good amount of topping, but getting the wrong pizza definitely affected my first impression. Pros: friendly staff member at the counter, very quick service, large pizzas and plenty of toppings. Cons: one of the pizzas was incorrect; the front counter looked almost empty; kitchen staff were not wearing hair coverings, and the woman at the counter was also not wearing a uniform or hair covering. Overall: 3/5 ⭐️ — a mixed first impression. I may try Borza again and sample some of their other dishes before making a final judgement.

Food is always delicious. Been ordering here for years. Lots of different things on the menu and they do great deals! Gorgeous pizza
