"I last wrote a review on Radhuni back in 2017, giving a rave review! I thought it was about time I wrote another! We don’t live far from Radhuni (walkable, in fact). Our local, The Ship, is basically opposite, so having had a couple of early drinks, we decided we fancied eating out, but where to choose? We have four Asian restaurants in Main Road, Gidea Park. Friends had mentioned that Tuesday night, at Radhuni, offers a set menu, so we thought “why not!” – it was rather early – around 6.30pm! My last review mentioned how smart the staff are, so helpful and courteous, and that they still are – very polished! We were seated immediately; a nice table in the middle of the restaurant. And, to be greeted with a ‘fancy’, white napkin is always a joy – some things please certain people, and I’m one of those people! Everything was clean and welcoming, and then we were presented with the menu. Of course, you can choose off of the a la carte, but there was so much to choose from on the set menu, that’s what we opted for. The chicken tikka and prawn starter was fabulous. You can then choose a main, a side of veg, and then a bread or rice and, rest assured, these are normal sized portions, they don’t cut back, because you’re ordering off a set menu! I went for the chicken Korma, and my husband opted for a Jalfrazee – the chicken was so succulent and the sauce – thick and creamy – absolutely delicious. Together with a paneer side for me, and a potato dish for my husband, the rice and nan bread arrived. Oooh, that bread – never enough room for it, but my husband certainly polished it off! Everything was cooked so fresh and perfect. And, if anyone is reading and thinking “that’s not spelt correctly”, that’s is how it is spelt on the set menu! By 7.30pm, the restaurant was packed, so do book if you want to go a little later, or you will be disappointed! Radhuni doesn’t attract big, rowdy parties, which is great news. It also doesn’t play loud music, which drowns out any conversation. But, it certainly attracts their regular customers, who seem to return once or twice a week, so a good testament to such great service, great quality ingredients, delicious food, and a joy to visit. Having met three sets of different friends, after a bottle of wine, we could help but order another glass ………………. Nice wine menu – couldn’t have been happier! We will be going back very soon. Thank you Radhuni! Glad to see everything is up and running and to perfection!"
