Radhika

We really liked this place's take on Indian food. It was much lighter than some southern versions. One of the highlights was a fusion appetizer: ceviche tostadas that had Indian seasonings in the mix (garam masala? I asked the chef but he wouldn't reveal). We also enjoyed various lamb and chicken dishes. The servers were friendly and the little neighborhood in South Pasadena was delightful.

Placed a pickup order through their website. When we arrived, they said the order did not go through and we had to provide another credit card. Long story short, we were charged twice for the same meal and since then three different people at Radhika have refused to assist in any way. Awful customer service. As to the food specifically, I'd give it two stars -- under-cooked meat is never ideal. There are several better Indian options in the area.

Best samosas ever! It was an absolutely joyful experience to dine at Radhika. Their paneer was freshly made- very smooth! The tikka masala sauce to go with it was very rich and hearty. Not like cheap and salty, the sauce was creamy, well balanced and genuine. The Bharta I had was very well made too. I could taste the charred eggplant. The layers of flavors within one spoon of Bharta was very balanced and rich. Oh, I have to give a thumbs up to the basmati rice---great fragrance!😋

Heavenly package of meals from a long-time favorite of South Pasadena and surrounding areas. Fresh ingredients prepared in an authentic way by experienced chef-owners who trained in Indian Hotel Service in India. We love the Chicken tikka and the lamb shank. Perfect to go with grilled brussels sprouts and cauliflower and exceptional rice and flavored naans.

I had high hopes for this place. The place was cute and much more modern then other Indian places I've been too. My first red flag was when I walked in and it smelled (not the way Indian restaurants should smell) but I brushed it off. Mine and my husband's food arrived and I have to be honest it looked Great! My son and nephew both ordered the tandoori chicken lunch plate and boy was I shocked. The chicken looked very light in color which looked partially boiled and a failed attempt to cook on a top plate. When my son picked up his chicken I noticed that the plate was full of "pink juice" I immediately told the boys to put the chicken down. The chicken was extremely under cooked. I didn't complain as I wasn't in the mood. My husband and I ended up sharing our plates with the kids. Our plates were fully cooked and in fact delicious. It wasn't like they were busy and were in a rush, we were the only customers in the restaurant. I'm not sure what happened but I wouldn't come back just because of the under cooked chicken.

Very poor service. We waited for an hour for our food. No one checked on us after we got our food. We had to ask for menus and silverware. I was finally able to flag down someone to ask for water. She never came back with it. I flagged down another person who finally brought us water. The staff was arguing amongst each other. I will never go there again. The ambience was great. That helped as I sat for an hour waiting for food. Bring your own drinks. By the time you get service you may choak on your food...whenever you get it.
