The best restaurants in Portlaoise

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.

07/09/2023: Just found this place but they seem to have shut down with no notice . Was the best spice bag and fresh Asian food I've had in Portlaoise. Dissapoointed and wish they'd remove themselves from just eat if they're not reopening .

11/12/2025: I ordered food today on just eat. I checked the app and it said that the food had arrived I was thinking there was a mix up as I didn’t receive my food. so I called the restaurant & I had the most unpleasant experience with a woman on the phone called Evette. When I explained my situation she was very rude, condescending and absolutely no help whatsoever she told me that she was “annoyed by the inconvenience” . She said it was sent to the wrong address which I don’t know why that what happened because I had given the correct address & air code. I asked if I would get a discount and she said it wasn’t their fault which I think is ridiculous & her way of refusing to take accountability of the mistake. When I asked when the next order would arrive she wouldn’t give me any indication or reassurance on a time and I honestly didn’t trust that the food would come. Overall I was mostly disappointed with the way Evette spoke to me over the phone and I personally think it’s no way to treat a customer and I definitely wouldn’t recommend this restaurant I would advise everyone to steer clear.

20/10/2024: Let us stand there looking at the menu deciding what we wanted for about 5 mins, only when we go to order does she decide to tell us there’s no pizza. Why wouldn’t you tell us as you stood there watching us?
