We had a great meal in Swai on friday with a group of friends and family. A great location – lovely relaxing view of the liffey and city. The staff were very good, attentive but not always hanging around. The foods was delicious – the duck cooked to perfection. Very tasty. Great price too- €20 for the set menu (choice of starter, choice of main course, Tea/Coffee & ice cream for dessert ) plus a free glass of wine. You would not get it anywhere else! I really enjoyed my food and the atmoshpere. I would highly recommend Swai for a group meal or for an intimate setting.
Yep, absolutely delicious. Party of five went for the €20 set meny last Saturday and it was remarkably good value. We also had the benefit of eating in a Malaysian restaurant with a Malaysian woman. She said the food was really good, but that in Malaysia it would be spicier. I really enjoyed my “yummy chicken curry” but I agree: a little more spice wouldn’t have gone amiss. Still, I’d be back in a heartbeat before any show in the Point.
Quite a disappointing experience overall , while it looks nice with a big chandler as a coeliac they had 2 options on the menu both were starters or some plain veg with rice, which I had. Needless to say it was utterly boring… i go to plenty of restaurants who can usually adapt a dish to be be coeliac friendly. This restaurant clearly had no interest in entertaining this notion. In this day and age knowing about food intollerances and allergies they need to up their game and come and join the plenty of other restaurants that can do so. Overall not worth the visit from my perspective, I could easily have put 2 pieces of broccoli, 3 snap peas and 2 mushrooms on top of boring rice any day!
