Faodail A Lucky Find

Excellent food and service received tonight and very good service expecially as we had kids in tow and wheelchair x

This restaurant has recently changed ownership and is now called The Tartan Rooster. The chef and staff remain the same, and the menu is mostly unchanged. It's still great!

The haggis pakora is a must-try if it's on the specials board. As a wheelchair user, I accessed the restaurant through a side entrance and had a variety of seating options at my table. The service was excellent, and the food was fantastic!

We just celebrated our parents' 30th wedding anniversary at Faodail tonight, and the food was absolutely delicious. All 12 of us were very pleased with our meals. From the moment I reached out to Faodail, the staff were friendly and incredibly accommodating. I would highly recommend it. It’s a lovely little place.

What a lovely little spot! There’s a cozy couch area where you can relax and enjoy drinks before your meal. The food was fantastic—I had halloumi fries followed by a steak pie. My partner ordered mixed pakora and then a burger, both of which were delicious. The staff were friendly, helpful, and just the right level of attentive. We will definitely be returning!

I had a terrible experience tonight while celebrating a friend's birthday. I ordered the flat iron steak, which was recommended on the menu to be cooked rare, but it arrived very well done. I sent it back to the kitchen, but it took so long to be replaced that by the time it arrived, everyone at our table had already finished eating. This was incredibly disappointing, especially for such a special occasion. I wouldn't describe this as 'a lucky find' at all.

The food was truly excellent, deserving a perfect 5/5 rating. Unfortunately, the service left much to be desired. I received the wrong main dish and, despite declining ice for my drink, it was still served with ice. Additionally, the initial setup was quite strange. Upon arrival, we were seated in a small waiting area with comfy couches by the bar, which is also where we placed our order. I assumed it was because they were busy, so that was understandable. However, when our food was ready, we were then taken to the table despite several free ones being available. It felt like a tactic to encourage us to order more drinks.

Second time at this hidden gem and all I have to say is that the standards remain extremely high.The beer battered haddock was fantastic, generous portion, quality of the fish the best I have ever seen and the batter was simply perfect. The chips were good. I also had the giant prawns saltee and the tomato sauce was absolutely gorgeous, full of taste. Desserts are equally superb. I tried the mojito cheesecake and it was great. Service is very friendly attentive. The background music is really pleasant, perfect volume sufficiently high to muffle conversations in the room but not too high that it would disturb conversation at the table.Will be coming back.

Not so lucky if you're hungry. After waiting almost an hour after our booked lunch slot, the food was ok. When I complained to the waiter after our meal about the delay, apparently it was our fault for not ordering starters as tables with starters are priority. And I was supposed to psychically know the hake was an additional 25 mins. Suggest management invests in better organising staff capacity and bookings, and some staff training.In response to the owner's response. We most certainly were not told in advance that there would be a wait, for other tables or for the hake , and the waiter did indeed say that tables with starters were prioritised. So correct your staff, not me.
