22/01/2026: Great Irish owned fast food restaurant in the heart of Portlaoise. Conveniently located with its own car park. Friendly staff, lovely food and ample seating.

02/01/2026: Great food and nice place to come with friends or family. Don't think they pay much attention to what plays on the TV though. A movie that's definitely rated R movie was played while I was there with my 4 year old cousin. Had to distract her somehow.

22/11/2025: Order food at 12:11 and came at 13:30 just 2 medium pizza came cold and I really want a refund or compassion as this is the second time

09/04/2025: ##NO STARS We ordered from Ruchi Portlaoise last night, and it was a disappointing experience. The delivery driver didn’t even call and gave our food to someone else in the opposite apartment. After 45 minutes of waiting, we called, and he kept repeating that he’d delivered it to ‘some lady,’ offering no apology. He first said he’d deliver replacement food tomorrow, but when we asked what we were supposed to eat at 10 PM (we ordered at 9pm) he agreed to reorder and deliver. The replacement arrived in 15 minutes, but the quality was awful. The spicy chicken wings were half-cooked, tasteless, and just dusted with chili powder. The makhani chicken had watery gravy with hard chicken pieces, and the naan was undercooked. The egg fried rice was the only decent item. I’d like to speak to the owner about this. Overall, terrible service and food—avoid unless they improve.

25/03/2025: Food is one of the best . Everything is delicious and would highly recommend.

09/11/2025: Grate experience grate food got on the aux

17/09/2025: Ah sure look lads it’s TASTY SPICE the best around in the area! Wide variety of delicious food no shortage of options hits every time

02/02/2026: So lads, was delicious especially the kung po chicken, but by Jesus they aren’t generous with the sides, chips and rice. Left hungry and went across the road to Rio’s for a battered sausage. Apart from that 5 stars lads for service and flavour.

25/10/2025: Food is brilliant here. Have been coming here for 15 years. Lovely place with lovely staff.

31/08/2025: Serious quality, addictive food. Delivery time has always been satisfactory

07/02/2026: Lovely food. Lovely art on the walls. Lovely lighting makes it cosy and charming. Great service. Our group of 14 were very well looked after by a very attentive Ann.

25/01/2026: Food is good, but an extremely cold restaurant. 🥶

06/10/2025: €11 for a slice of dry carrot cake and a coconut latte that tasted nothing like coconut at all. A cup of warm water is what it tastes like. definitely gone down hill with coffees

05/10/2025: Used to be good spot but it is getting worse every week. On Sunday having coffee in single use cup for dining in is very bad. Also Autumn time and no flagship drink, I'd say it won't last long. One of the most expensive spot btw. Very disappointing.

11/01/2026: Delicious food served by wonderful staff. Highly recommend this restaurant 👌

22/09/2025: Great food great staff and atmosphere walk in service would recommend.

12/12/2025: Spotless clean fresh relaxing interior facade is tired looking but don't let that put you off.. Lovely friendly staff Good value for a tasty breakfast Will be back 👍

17/01/2026: We've eaten out of here for as long as I can remember. For the last while everything seems to have changed a lot. While some of the food is still quite tasty, some meals have gone quite bland (chicken madras being one of them) The price changes have raised a lot and It seems they're going up all the time. There's not even any dips with poppadoms anymore. I'm not sure if it's been taken over. It's really disappointing because we would have normally eaten here every week but unfortunately it's no longer possible. I understand prices have gone up across the board but it seems prices here are constantly going up and like mentioned above, taking away some condiments when increasing prices is a little disappointing.

09/01/2026: From the iced water to the after eights offered with the bill, this was a delightful experience. The food was excellent, tasty and well cooked. Service was very attentive and friendly. Definitely recommend having a meal here.
