The best restaurants in Swords

11/10/2025: Ordered for collection , 9" munchie box, it's massive, and stuffed full of tasty food. Chicken was tender and very tasty, overall very impressed and well worth the price. Quick delivery too at 9pm on a Saturday.

15/09/2025: Worst experience with a takeaway I’ve honestly ever had, placed a small order for delivery, said it would be 45 mins, took over 1 hr and a half to arrive (restaurant was 10 mins drive from our hotel). Had to ring the restaurant twice to find out what was happening, no help at all, just apologised and did not offer refund when I asked. To top it off, the food was disgusting.

02/11/2025: Not happy with cleanliness, must fo better

16/10/2025: Food tasted weird. Slow service. Avoid at all costs.

02/09/2025: Both of my daughters got food poisoning from this place, ordered 2 Spice Bags and a Chicken Satay dish...AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

10/07/2025: Never in my life have I experienced takeaway food this horrifically disgusting. The chicken with orange sauce looks and tastes like worms in orange juice jelly goo. I am genuinely shocked that this is legal to serve to paying customers. Unbelievable. 0 stars.

16/10/2025: Very poor service, rude young lady at the cashier, errors in my order and my coffee tasted burnt..

29/05/2025: Excellent coffee shop in the upper area of the Pavillions close to the cinema. Service is always on point and staff are friendly and welcoming. Have some great sandwiches available, great pastries and thoroughly delicious coffees. This is well worth a visit.

11/10/2025: I ordered from Fingal Café about a year ago and ended up bringing every single item back. The food was vile — ghostly, anaemic chips that looked like they’d seen a microwave more than a fryer. I swore I’d never go near the place again. Fast forward to today and my partner, bless him, comes home with a surprise chipper. I took one bite of the garlic cheese chips and instantly knew that history was repeating itself. Dry, dusty, and somehow both soggy and stale? A true culinary mystery. It’s impressive, after a full year later and they’ve managed to maintain the same level of disappointment. Never again

02/08/2025: Ordered 50 quid worth of food in drynam last night..got un edible rock hard batter with no fish in the smoke cod..batter sausage would break your teeth..the kebab made us laugh..very disappointed..was always my favourite..not no more avoid it's going on a bad road of greed and ripping of the customers..

04/09/2025: They were really good and plescent. And I just walked on the off chance

21/03/2025: Cancelled my paid order because too busy didnt see the cancelation until i got there to collect it sure it will only take 3 to 5 working days to refund me girl on desk apoligetic ,owner /cook didnt show his face

05/10/2025: Absolute garbage food, got a takeaway and it was like the food was reheated. Rang up to give feedback back and it was like it was our fault for not liking the food. Chips undercooked and cold so they couldn’t even reheat properly. Would highly suggest not ordering from here

07/09/2025: 15mins 1 bag of chips really horrible chips, my daughter actually said they taste like display chips i said only salt and staff put vinegar on and said is it ok , is it ok if i dont pay i dont think so

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

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.

08/09/2025: I ordered a pizza online tonight, and when it arrived, I was disappointed. The pizza was very dry and had too little tomato sauce, making it tasteless. It felt like they were skimping on ingredients, resulting in a pizza with no flavor whatsoever. I wouldn’t recommend wasting your money on this—it seems like there is no love or effort put into making these pizzas.

23/08/2025: I will never order food from here again. We ordered food last weekend after a long day in hospital, we ordered at around 00:30 on the app, it said it would take 1 hour to arrive, waited the hour and nothing, rang the store 20 times and got no answer. Waited up until 2.30am absolutely starving to realise the food clearly just wasnt going to arrive and we had to go to sleep hungry, much later than planned. Messaged the store on messenger and got ignored. Called the next day, Spoke to Anthony who is by far the RUDEST person I have ever had dealings with, he didnt apologise, said he was trying to call us all day (he didnt) said they closed early for a staffs birthday and forgot to turn off the delivery system and our order has been refunded but at the same time took no responsibility. Got off the phone fuming but whatever. Then I fill out the feedback form on the website on friday (6 days later) as we still hadn't got our refund and still fuming that the store accepted no responsibility for what happened. Anthony yet again emailed back, contradicted EVERYTHING he said on the phone, claimed he already apologised (he didnt once), said they didnt forget to turn the delivery system off, instead his new excuse was the technology messed up and not their fault at all, and that he didnt try to call me at all because he was too busy the next day looking after other customers! The whole interaction with Anthony was RUDE, MATTER OF FACT AND HAD NO KINDNESS OR UNDERSTANDING that this completely ruined our night!! This isnt the first time we have had a bad interaction with Anthony, this happened before when our order was late, we rang the store and Anthony told us it has already left with the driver (we live 10 mins from the store) we rang a half hour later to ask why it still hadnt arrived and he got snappy on the phone saying its just left the store, even though he said it left 30 mins before. He's a liar, hes rude and does not care about the customers. We order from most weekends for our whole family and safe to say we will be ordering Mizzoni tonight, never again will we order while Anthony works there.

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!!!
