The best restaurants in Fingal

24/03/2025: Ordered a cake for my sons birthday… today the day of collection I received a refund no explanation nothing.. drove to the shop in swords closed..

19/03/2025: Great bakery that serves lovely coffee and almond slices.🍰

31/08/2025: Ordered €42 worth of food and the only part that didn’t go in the brown bin was the chips and prawn crackers. The chicken was like eating elastic, the satay sauce was like water and why you would put lettuce in the bottom of the tray is beyond me. The pork yuk sung smelt of urine and the lettuce was not fresh. Needless to say I won’t be ordering here again. So much better take aways in Swords.

31/08/2025: Best food I’ve ever tasted and the staff where just delightfull

20/10/2025: Minging food. Meat sung with no sauce whatsoever. Same with the spring roll, a giant lump of over fried batter you'd need an angle grinder to get into. It's still emitting enough heat the day after to keep my apartment warm so there's that....

20/09/2025: Chicken curry take out - chicken was hard, like it was completely over cooked. Disappointing.

15/07/2025: No Guinness 0.0 on tap, served can with glass, so what’s the contraption for, decoration? Grumpy barman seems not to care very much.

11/05/2025: Perfect to say goodbye to DUBLIN with a good Guinness

28/09/2025: My experiences with Subway. North Street, Swords (Applegreen garage)... Experience 1: The woman serving me thought it would be a good idea to serve both me as well as the lady behind me at the same time. I didn't feel prioritised and I actually felt uncomfortable ordering alongside someone else whom I don't know. The subway employee ended confusing herself whilst mixing up our bread and sauce types. Disappointing to be honest considering a roll costs in around 9 quid. Not cheap in today's climate and its a treat I generally look forward to but dont always have. Be better. Experience 2: I only eat Hearty Italian. I understand that subway have other choices of good quality bread to chose from but I've tried their selection and nothing tickles my fancy. On this day, I arrived at Subway an hour and a half after they had opened. I asked for a Hearty Italian only to find out that none had been prepared. I'm working within the hospitality trade all my life. Anyone that has worked within hospitality knows preparation is key. Being ready is key. Instead I was nonchalantly told that :they're not ready yet". No offer of an alternative bread, no waiting time given. Just a terrible attitude and a sense of carelessness. Be better. Experience 3: I was served by whom I consider to be their best employee. Fairly sure she's a full-timer with brown hair. Very efficient, good manners, smiles, works clean and holds the counter well by herself when under pressure. However, after ordering a roll with meatballs, spicy cheese and marinara sauce I took a bite only to find that the meatballs were dry, black and almost rock solid (almost). Again, disappointed and fed up but not fed. Be better Side note: The garage as a whole is ran dismally. The deli is twice as bad as subway. Burger king isn't too bad and the cashiers/shop floor assistants are clueless when it comes to prompt and efficient service. If you're packing a shelf and you see a line of customers waiting to pay for fuel/products, etc take a 2 minute break from what you're doing and clear the line. Instead, the employees gawk at the queue whilst continuing to pack shelves etc. Meanwhile, all us customers are growing impatient with the one person working the till whom generally, if not most of the time, has no sense of urgency and is not trained adequately on tills therefore making mistakes and elongating the entire process for everyone. Not too mention, you don't even get a smile. The garage is a joke and Applegreen head office need to implement policies, procedures and inspections for their staff and the premises. Pelco is a great example of how to manage a business of the same nature within a garage setting.The big boys within the company should take responsibility too and do a bit of graft instead of floating from outlet to outlet in their lovely suits doing next to nothing other than throwing an eye over the premises and asking the same old questions. Be better. I'm going over to Subway now to order a roll. I will edit and update this review if I have a bad experience. Let's hope not though! Fantastic service today. 17.06.25 Rolls not ready in Subway 50 minutes after opening. 22.06.25 Very good service today. Fast, clean and friendly. 28.06.25 All over the place. Just keeps getting worse and worse. 28.09.25 Waited 5 minutes (which would've been longer if I was willing to remain patient) to be served. I foresaw that I could've been waiting longer so I decided against a subway today. Staff very slow. No sense of urgency, not even any acknowledgement. No changing of gloves between orders either. Pay for Rock Star to lead your team and stop employing minimum rate staff that don't care! One employee on shift. Slow service. Lack of health and safety precaution due to being under too much pressure. No changing of gloves etc.Getting worse as time goes by. I wouldn't be surprised to see the shop go at some point soon. Btw, the young lady that served me tried her best and did a great job given the environment she is operating in and the tools/help she has been provided.

27/07/2025: Food was terrible,the spice bag was so hot it was inedible.I rang to complain and he hung up on me!Worst customer service ever

19/07/2025: Foods gone so bad lately, definitely not worth having a pop

01/11/2025: Terrible service and the food was awful. You go in and they act like you’re not there. Food is garbage.

05/10/2025: Food over priced for the standard it is, very poor service, 40 minute wait for bar food. That wasn't great , never never go again.

20/06/2025: Very disappointed food gone very bad got a lamb dish would have needed a chainsaw 2 cut it 2 ring and be told its the suppliers fault not how it was cooked sent it bk 2 order chicken came and it was sandwich chicken 4 the prices there chargen its a joke poor food poor quality wont be ordering from here again 😢 😞

30/05/2025: Just ordered a chicken madras from this place and instead I got a turkey madras. The chef insisted it was chicken when I brought it back but, 5 members of the family tasted this and said immediately it was turkey. Before I even took a bite, I knew it wasn't chicken as it was in slabs and not the same colour as chicken. It was fairly tough too. I wouldn't recommend this place. Spend the extra few quid and get food delivered from Swords. You might fool some folk but you won't con me. Money was refunded after a brief argument. Such a shame because the sauce is really nice and spicy. Last time I'll be ordering from this place.

26/10/2025: Just stood at the counter for 3-5 mins with my 2 kids trying to get served, a male staff member (the one with a shaved head) stood behind the counter 6 foot away from the till and looked at us 3 times and didn’t bother coming over , we got fed up waiting and walked across to another eatery and saw the staff do the exact same thing to another customer, who in turn also walked away, business must be so good that you can ignore customer after customer.

20/10/2025: Bad food. Bad service. Over priced. Get something else

23/10/2025: great service very friendly staff nice and tidy place definitely recommended

18/10/2025: Unfortunately, my experience wasn’t great. The fries tasted bitter, probably because the oil hadn’t been changed, the chicken pieces were burnt, and the pizza was quite disappointing. On top of that, it smelled really unpleasant inside.

14/08/2025: Had a lovely meal in Siam Thai restaurant on Saturday , regulars over the years . so decided to get a take away tonight .We ordered Aromatic duck and pad Thai , the aromatic duck was virtually inedible, all fat and a terrible portion , it was like scrapings of left overs . The pad Thai had very Lille chicken was dry and tasteless . Paid 33.60 to drive down to collect this . Date 14/08/25 - whoever served that up tonight needs serious training .

28/07/2025: Decent food, but overpriced and customer service is atrocious. It replaced Bangkok Thai a few years back. Sadly all the recipes were changed with the takeover. Bangkok Thais curries were much more authentic and tastier and for a fraction of the price. Skip the to go and go to Siam sit in restaurant

04/05/2025: Siempre demasiado lleno e imposible de entrar. He intentado entrar varias veces pero siempre lleno. Si tienes suerte y entras las comidas están bien, pero las bebidas son limitadas 2 bebidas / estancia

30/04/2025: Worst experience ever in an airport lounge. Don’t come here if you are thinking of a nice relaxing way to start your holiday / journey. I had complementary access which took the pain out the €40 we paid for my wife. Staff unhelpful and disinterested apart from the bull dog who was responsible for guarding the valuable two complementary drinks rule ! Her wonderful customer service was to ask every customer if this was their second drink and then argue with you about the need for a mixer which she never provided. Food very limited and there a good few hours in the fridge. Was more than happy to go down to the bar and pay full price. At least the staff seemed interested. Scored a one because I can’t give a lower score !

24/09/2025: Young guy serving here at 05:45 this morning needs a course in how to be polite. Dog ignorant, more focused on listening to someone else's conversation than taking my order

10/09/2025: customer service zero food quality zero the person working inside is very rude

12/10/2025: Terrible! Ordered Butter Chicken with Basmati rice and Naan bread and I don’t know what the heck that was but it’s by far the worst tasting Butter Chicken I’ve ever had, anywhere, bar none. I can’t even describe the flavour. Gross is what comes to mind. I threw it out. There’s more to say about the delivery and lack of any plastic utensils, even though it was delivered to a hotel but I can forgive that. It’s the mystery food that I can’t forgive. Waste of good money! Avoid, avoid, avoid.

14/08/2025: Ordered online - Prawn Korma, Naan bread, Poppadams ... I received 6 tiny, tough prawns which I had to search for in the sauce, burned Naan bread and Poppadams that weren't even close to the FREE ones most Indian takeaways include with your order. These ones were not fully crispy and had a slightly fishy aftertaste, as if cooked in oil that had been used for a seafood dish. Avoid like the plague.

14/09/2025: Worst food ever don’t bother to come here food was cold the burger meet was dry and no taste

14/08/2025: They advertise breakfast on the menu until 12 o'clock, but at 11:50 they don't take breakfast orders anymore. Don't mislead people!!!
