Raduni Indian Bangladeshi Cuisine — Restaurant in Chamblee

I was looking forward to treating myself to takeout. Just FYI I have never written a negative restaurant review. I'm not a picky eater, eaten at many Indian restaurants and know what I m ordering. Charming, sweet staff -- exceptionally so. Weirdly, when I walked in it really didn't have that rich, wonderful curry perfume that Indian restaurants always have. In fact, my takeout bag also had almost no aroma.When I say the app sampler was akin to cement I am not exaggerating. They were actually very hard to bite into, had so much coating it was like cement (truly), likely oil wasn't quite hot enough to deep fry bc they were greasy, one samosa some how burnt, a rancid undertone AND they seemed to have been cooked w/o any any any spices at ALL.

Sag paneer is my favorite; no matter what else I get, I always also get sag paneer. I was so disappointed when I got home! An insane amount of white stuff, so flavorless I can't say if it was yogurt or cream. -- it was gooey. Only a very few pieces of paneer. Tasted like...mint?

Aloo baingan was better but still not great, not much flavor. Best thing about the entire meal was the few potato chunks. Recognizable and had texture that wasn't goo. 43 bucks down the drain.

There are so many positive reviews that I'm willing to consider my food was a fluck -- It was around 4 so maybe the real chef had stepped out and my food was prepared by someone who wasn't a cook? Maybe the apps were leftovers from lunch and whoever was cooking decided to toss them back into the oil to warm them up? Maybe the sag got mixed up with mint instead? I actually woke up this morning still feeling disappointed!

I wish I could be more positive; they were so sweet and warm. But honestly, there wasn't anything even close...

Three adults and 2 picky children had a wonderful Saturday/Birthday lunch here. The service was good, the food flavorful and prepared exactly as requested (due to children's tastes). The prices are reasonable considering the quality of the food. I've had far worse that cost far more. We will be returning on our next visit to Atlanta.

Update, two months later...

This has become our "go too" restaurant for Indian food when we are visiting our daughter. This is a small and cozy eatery with an uncommonly friendly and helpful serving staff (I wouldn't be surprised to learn they are all members of the owner's family). On the Saturday afternoon we visited, we were the only customers when we arrived. The server noticed we had our 4 year old granddaughter with us and immediately changed the music from the tradition Indian fare that normally plays, to children's tunes. This is a small detail, but it was an endearing moment. As a side note, when other diners began arriving we gave our server a head nod and he returned the sound system to the traditional music.

When it was time to order we were given advice and guidance toward menu items that complemented each other. When the food arrived it was delicious. The restaurant makes many of it's condiments on site, and they wonderfully enhance the flavors of the already excellent food.

Our daughter, who works in the veterinary clinic a few doors down, had added this to her list of "once a week" lunch spots. I would not hesitate to recommend it to any one interested in trying Indian for the first time or the...

This review is for takeout only. We placed our order online (they give a code for 10% off!). Ordering online was very easy, although a little slow to load, and they include questions to make sure they prepare the food to your liking. I selected for it to be ready ASAP, and the only issue was that they didn’t clarify when it would be ready, so we had to call. It was ready in 15 minutes. The prices on the website are not consistent with what we were charged. They need to update their prices.

The service was great. One person held the door open for us as we carried our food out, which was very sweet.

Here’s what we got: Chana Puri ($5.99): Very small portion for the price. Not as tasty as we’ve had at other restaurants. Disappointed. Tandoori Naan ($2.99 on website, but charged us $3.49): Fine. Chicken Tikka Biryani ($13.99 on website, but charged us $15.95): Pretty dry. The small container with the yogurt sauce was not enough for the whole dish. Would not get again. Very big portion though. Paneer Tikka Masala ($12.99): Very good.

If we were to go back, we would stick to the Paneer Tikka Masala and would...
