Radhuni Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in Madrid

Having lived in London, we missed true Indian food, the spice, flavors, etc.

Friends of ours suggested this place as, in their humble opinion, Radnuni is really good. We were not disappointed!

Ordered the classic Chicken Tikka Masala, butter chicken and lamb korma along with cheese Naan and garlic Naan

Tikka Masala, butter chicken and lamb korma tasted as they should. It was just as if we were back in a typical Indian restaurant in the UK. So two thumbs up for that!

Need to say the cheese Naan is was not as the ones we were used to, this was sort of a cream cheese Naan. Not bad, but had not what we are used to. The garlic Naan, a tick in the box. Both naans were crispy, that was another plus.

My wife thought it was a bit mild on the spices, which is true, but that didn't bothered us at all.

Drank a Marques of Riscal along with out food. A perfect choice.

End of the day we were quite pleased with out meal. Would go back any given day!!

We learned that the captain used to live in Stansted, UK.. so he knows how deep the Indian gastronomy is embedded in the UK.

Finally when it comes to service, it was absolutely a delight. We were celebrating a friend's b-day and were treated as royally. Really appreciate their effort to make us feel welcomed.

Then one last remark, the captain knows his customers, recognized our friends from previous visits to the restaurant and immediately pointed out that my wife and I went there for the first time. How about that! Kudos for this!!!

Like I have said before, we will go back whenever we want...

All the photos you see…. Guess how much it cost… I’ll wait. Did you say 60e? 50e? Nope. 36 euro. That got us chicken vindaloo, chicken tikka masala, naan, basmati rice pilaf, vegetable samosa, and pakora! Not to mention a Coke and a water. I should mention that you’ll need to make reservations through the fork to get the 40% discount. Also, it only applies to entratas and main dishes. But at 36 euro, this meal cannot be beat.

My vindaloo was super spicy. I haven’t had anything spicy since coming to Spain, despite things having been advertised as spicy. So if your palette doesn’t take heat well, stay far far away from vindaloo. The tikka masala was tasty. The naan felt about average. Wasn’t perfect, but also didn’t have that rubbery stale naan thing going on. The rice was aromatic and complimented the main courses well. The pakora were absolutely beautiful. Just crunchy little balls of heaven. And some of the better veg samosas I’ve had in a long long time. Super thin shell. Very crisp. Not that funky egg roll texture that some poor samosas have.

At the end of the meal, they treated us to a complimentary mango laasi which was much appreciated. Indian food is honestly pretty high up on my favorite foods list, so this just hit the spot for me. My partner had never eaten Indian food from a restaurant, and she thought it was excellent as well. And with that...

If you want a break from Spanish fare, and not a Europeanized/Americanized Chinese-food break, this is the place to reset your palate. The naan was fresh (a key point -- few places with fresh plain naan follow up with shoddy courses), and all was flavorful, though under-hot-spiced (to match the common Spanish tastes), but for a chicken dish consisting of tandoori chicken in a flavorful & medium-hot spicy sauce (the restaurant did provide a hot sauce upon request -- and boy, it was hot). The daal turka/dal tadka and chana masala were delicious, as was daal soup. The Indian beers available are a nice option. The on-the-house liqueur was watered down, but it was a no-charge, though I always say, do it right or don't do it, or provide less of a good thing. That is not to take away from the main point, that I would absolutely go here again, and will the next time I'm in Madrid. An...
