I've been in this restaurant several times already, was not my first experience, ordered for my starter -Mixed Thai Dim Sum they were delicious, steamed and well cooked as expected; main course - Asian Greens with Grilled Prawns, prawns were stir-fried rather than grilled, was trying to avoid stir fried dishes that evening and purposely chose grilled, dessert- apple cheesecake with cinnamon, absolutely lovely presentation, however the texture was heavy and more creamy than cheesy like in the actual cheesecake, overrated place.

We looked all over Swords for an Asian lunch, with little success. Then we saw that India Spice was open for lunch. This restaurant offers a dark, classy-looking decor, and a three-course lunch menu for €9.95. I had a starter of tandoori lamb followed by a Madras chicken. My wife had veggie samosa followed by Balti chicken. Serving sizes were ample. There was no scrimping given the lunch deal. Food quality was top-notch. I would go out of my way to return here for a meal.

Food excellent - catered for all tastes , couldn't fault the table service or the staff. Enjoyed the restaurant setting & decor, gave 'the gang's a comfortable, central location to meet up. Location great, car parking available & a bus service outside the door. Seems to cater well for families .. will certainly be returning, even if its just for tea in the foyer area
6. Jaipur Restaurant
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 184 reviews
Jaipur's chic northside restaurant offers rich tastes, smooth and unobtrusive service that delivers all the luxury of the evening you could expect. A real treat if you are in search of a really good Indian. There are all the usual favourites on offer like chicken Tikka Masala and Rogan Josh, but there's also an eclectic selection of more unusual offerings which are definitely worth a try, like Chettinad Murgh, a chicken dish with a rich and spicy sauce, flavoured with black pepper, cloves, cinnamon and tamarind.

Had a lovely meal with family here, food is tasty, friendly service, restaurant was very draughty and cool. I was happy with my dishes, I had Lamb Seek Kebab for starters and Garlic Prawn Jalfrezi, didn't taste very garlicky though, I love garlic.. Everyone at the table were happy with their food too, chicken korma, chicken tikka masala and lamb with spinach. Cannot comment on the price as it was a treat.

Modern 1st floor Greek & Cypriot restaurant located in the bustling village of Malahide with views of the marina. Delicious Greek Cypriot cuisine prepared by our chef Demetris served by friendly efficient staff.
Reviewed By Norbert2013 - Leicester, United Kingdom
Had dinner this evening, as my wife has been saying for some time that its ages since she'd had Greek food. Glad we made the effort to drive over to Malahide ona cold evening. Starters were grilled feta (Saganaki) and baked chicken liver (Sikotakia), both excellent. My wife had Moussaka whilst I had baked lamb (Tava). - also very nice. Good service in spite of issues with communications with the credit card. Kept trying and it eventually worked

We were looking for a dinner venue in Malahide for 2nd Jan. and this was an afterthought. Our first choice was closed and we were bored with the usual suspects. Boy were we blown away by Nautilus!
The dècor, ambience, service, food and creativity were exceptional. There is something for everyone. Don’t let the name lead you to think it’s all fish.
It’s all beautifully presented, utterly delicious and one of the best meals I’ve ever had. This from a 52 year old, well-travelled woman who lives in Dubai (home to some truly amazing restaurants.)
We will definitely be back!
