Siam Thai

Reviewed By Nastasia_Pasha - Dublin

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.

indie spice grill

Reviewed By Chipol - Lagos, Portugal

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.

Courtyard Restaurant

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

Masterson's Steak House & Wine Bar

About Masterson's ... Masterson's Steakhouse opened its doors in May 2009. After training in hotel & Catering Management, which included a stint in the famous Ballymaloe house and three years learning the ways of some of Chicago's most famous eateries, we decided the time was right to open an American Style Steakhouse. Upon Arrival we took apart the interior of the original shop, an Italian Restaurant, for refurbishment. We closed for 4 weeks and reopened on the 5th of May. The intervening Seven Years have been a fantastic adventure, a lot of our original staff are still with us, supplemented by some fantastic people who have joined our project since. All of our Steaks our 100% Irish and fully traceable farm to fork. Our salads are all sourced fresh from the farms of Rush, our vegetables also when the weather is good enough ! We have a full breakdown of nut allergies, available from chef upon request, which is also on view outside the kitchen. All of our Sauces are Gluten free, we have gluten free bread, Pasta and Pizza. We are proud to be associated with The Nutrition & Health Foundation and the Restaurants association of Ireland. The initiative is designed to enhance the range and portion size of nutritious meals available to families in the Restaurant setting. We continue to strive to be the best, to put only the best produce on your plate & to offer an experience like no other !

Sinéad, Sadie and I booked here for New Year's Eve.
The place was busy when we arrived, but we were not waiting long for a seat. The staff were very accommodating to our 8 month old daughter - they got us a child seat, gave us a bowl of mash/veg (didn't charge us), and were chatting to her, in between meal courses.
The food was superb, duck liver pate, garlic mushrooms, steak and chips and a Twix Cheesecake for dessert. Every bit of the meal, was delicious
The house white wine was not particularly nice, but the red was tasty.
The bill was extremely reasonable (both Sinéad and I had guessed on it being much higher)
Overall, i couldn't recommend Masterson's highly enough. The food, staff, location, everything was superb - we will definitely be going back again
In a bit!

Cape Greko

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

Nautilus

Reviewed By A TripAdvisor Member

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!
