This restaurant specializes on East Bengal cuisine. The food is simple but taste wise it is very good. Don't expect any fancy setting round here.
As am on strict restriction not to eat any oily, spicy food.. I choose this place for their super special murgh polao where they serve the entire food steam cooked in pure ghee and govindo vog.. I must say the aroma when they served this for us is heavenly.. Enjoyed the dinner very much.. Would suggest everyone to go there for once to taste this.. The entire dinner for two costs within 500. The murgh pulao is certainly a must try dish for everyone..
Don't know why people gives them negative review....price is too cheap...but they provide homely bengali food...I ordered rice, bowal Mach, kochupata chingri, taki Mach bhorta, and mutton curry.....with compare with other bengali restaurant Radhuni serve homely food available in restaurant...other restaurant serve bengali food as restaurant style....this restaurant serve authentic bengali cuisine...

We went to Radhuni because we were near by and the place was not too crowded. Even though we were not given a menu, the server told us the specials of the day. And we decided to go with "Kachki chocchori" & "Shim diye Pabda-r jhol" with rice. The latter was quite ordinary but the "Kachki chocchori" was pretty good. The bill was extremely low, however we found their menu after paying the bill. The menu had a dish called "Taki maachh-er bhorta". What a miss! If I'd seen this earlier, I'd have surely ordered that. Now all I can do is to wait, for my next chance to have this dish and fulfil my wish.
It is situated near Sudder Street, adjacent to Prince, but sadly lacked the expected footfall. When we went there in the morning, it bore a deserted look…I’m not sure why. The food certainly cannot be the reason, because the bhooni khichuri served here is preferable to that of its more illustrious neighbour. Both places team the khichuri with a fried egg.
Located at mirza galib street to be more precise. This place serves simple but tasty Bengali delicacies. Last week my brother and I had gone there for lunch after our shopping spree. We ordered rice, mutton curry,fries, dal,murg polao and a coke! Food was humble but tasty. I would definitely go back just for their mutton curry. It tasted like home! I didn't find anything special in their murg polao. It was basically just a plate of polao and a piece of chicken chaap on top of it! The ambience was decent, nothing to brag about. Their service was quick and the waiters were friendly and sweet. I was surprised by their pricing. It was inclusive taxes! If u want to enjoy a good homely Bengali meal after a tiring shopping spree in new market, then this is the place for you to go to.
Good bengali resturant.Service is good.Loved the dishes Kochu chingri,Vetki paturi,Mutton kosha.I went there this nabami.Really enjoyed a lot with family.
I have been there many times since it was near by my previous office. Ordinary ambiance. Prices are moderate. We often had Aloo posto, rui mach and aar mach which were okay. My favorite was the Murg Polau. Overall experience was okay :)

ORDERED DAL ,ALU BHAJA,TAKI FISH BHARTA,KOCHU CHINGRI,AAR MACHH.
WAS VERY SATISFIED WITH TASTE AND SERVICE.
WILL DEFINITELY COME BACK AGAIN
I visited this place like 5-6years ago I ordered roti and mixed vegetables and for my surprise the food was unexpectedly delicious I was amazed by the taste specially ROTI it was so soft that you should try this even if you don't have teeth.. ambience was good too.. But the only down side was their SERVICE they took very long to place my order.. even though the service is bad I'm not upset only because of the taste...
If you are looking for authentic homely Bengali food then you should try out Radhuni restaurant. I went there for lunch today with my parents and we were presently surprised. It is a small air conditioned restaurant in the new market area. It also has a non air conditioned section. Not very clean but that is okay because the food compensates for it. They have traditional Bengali food items and we tried their ruhi kalai, Mung dal, karela bhaji, aloo posto, bhindi bhaji and mutton curry. They were all delicious except that the aloo posto had a lot of oil. We had the mishti doi for dessert which had a great combination of sweet and sour taste. On the whole a good culinary experience.
I had a visit just as a passer by with certain invitation by one of my friend who suggested me that restaurant and I'll b greatfull to him for lifetime due to Radhuni's one of best dish The Great Murg Polao called in bengali morog polao. With decent decor and service in lunch time it was just out of the world and I cant explain it more just go and taste.
Went there today only..really a good bengali restaurant..ordered vaat musur dal kachu chingri bhetki paturi n mutton kasha..taste was good n service was very fast n dishes were hot..its a very good bengali restaurant within the budget...
Very good bengali dishes within the budget of everyone.I have taken mix veg which was very good and tasty and also the prawn malaikari was mouthwatering..

In a nutshell:
Spartan interiors, fast service, tasty long lost Bengali food & easy on the pocket.
Background:
Bengali food is usually associated with fish, meats & everything non vegetarian. However there r some extraordinary vegetarian food items made from leaves, stems, flowers, roots etc that cost minimal but taste YUMM e.g. Mocha (banana flower), thor (the pith of the banana stem), oal (root), bok Phool (flower), kumro Phool (pumpkin flower), kochu pata (leaf), kochu (root), lau shak (leaf) etc. These have unique tastes & flavours and most of these r different from the mainstream usually available Indian vegetarian food.
Short Description - In case u r in a hurry:
Unfortunately, availability of most of the items mentioned above have limited availability nowadays in bigger city markets of Kolkata. Some of these dishes r difficult to make & the rest r painstaking to make / need lot of patience. A visit to Radhuni can however bridge this gap - u can enjoy the excellent taste traditional Bengali vegetarian gems without having to sweat it out to make these. Some of the 'vegetarian' dishes contain shrimps etc.
Radhuni also has a long list of Bengali nonvegetarian dishes that r good but not outstanding. However, if u r visiting Kolkata / planning to eat out local cuisine, it cannot get better than this at that price.
The service is fast. The people here r nice - they r not typical trained Restaurant Server types. They r normal human beings who respond well to good behaviour from customers.
The interiors r Spartan - a lot like South Indian Udipi Restaurants.
Prices r unbelievably low (by Delhi / Mumbai standards).
Detailed Description - In case u have the time to njoy Reading:
We started our lunch with Kochu pata (leaf of Kochu plant) chingri (prawn). It had mustard paste, a bit of poppy seeds (khus khus) & spices. The taste was delicious & simply awesome. Chingri added to the taste & flavor but the kochu was too good on its own. I wud give this a 4.5/5.
Then came mochar ghonto. Mocha as I mentioned b4, is banana flower. This one tasted very good too. The spices were not ground & hence the taste was spicy, rustic & good. Since mustart oil was used to cook the dish, there was an element of pungency as well. I wud give this dish 4/5.
Third came kochu saag (stem). This one was very good too. If not done well, this tends to be slimy. However, the one at Radhuni was not slimy as all. I wud give this 4.25/5
Next came lau chingri. Lau is lauki / gourd / ghiya. This is also considered vegetarian by many people though it has chingri (prawns) in it. At Radhuni, this appears in the 'Dal & vegetable' section. This was good but not wow. I wud give this 3.5/5.
Post this we had Chitol machher peti. Chitol is a huge fish with loads of bones in it. However, its peti (belly area) is sought after due to its unique soft buttery texture & less concentration of bones. The fish served at Radhuni was smaller than the optimum size but it was good. I wud give this 4.25/5. The gravy was non thick yet tasty.
The bhetki paturi (betki fish cooked in banana leaf) was good - fish & mustard paste wrapped in banana leaf & deep fried / grilled. The pungency of Mustard was suboptimal - a bit disappointing for Bengalis but I guess good enough for others. Coz full blown pungency hits the sinuses directly & that is something that not everyone might b able to appreciate. I wud give this 3.75/5.
The last dish for our lunch was Kosha Mangsho (Mutton Curry). The mutton pieces were a bit too 'bone'y but was soft & nice in texture. The gravy was pretty ordinary & inferior to any good kosha mangho made by any 'good cook' Bengali housewife. I wud give this 3.5/5.
To end the meal we had anaras (pineapple) chutney - It was a sweet'n sour dessert made with pineapple & little bits of date. Excellent to taste. 4.5/5
The last item for our lunch was inhouse - made mishit doi (sweet curd). This was good but not great. I wud say 3.75/5. The good thing was that this doi did not have the thick layer of fat atop it.
Overall the lunch score adds up to 4/5 for food at Radhuni. I loved this experience & recommend it to u. Check it out.

Pure Bangladeshi taste good items available here with very reasonable price. From service to food taste everything was up to the mark. Budget food available here.
Amazing food. They maintain proper hygiene. Cost friendly. Variety of dishes to try. Staff are very well behaved. I go for lunch here almost 4 days in a week.
A good restaurant where u can have authentic Bengali food. Preparation was very good. Will visit again!
When I was an Employee of a Near by Restaurant of Park Street area I used to go there frequently. The taste of Bengali Cuisine food was awesome but somewhere at the last visit with my family I couldn't get that previous Taste ...Very frank to you. Chef's has to be more careful to get back that authenticity again and I hope they can do it ...
Excellent Bangladeshi food. Most importantly they don’t use bashmati rice.
It is a good family restaurant in the Park Street area. Only Bengali foods are available here. The ambience is not good but the food is very good and affordable. The atmosphere is homely.
Radhuni has a relatively small menu, but what they have is excellent! Go here for the food, and ignore the ambience - or rather, the lack of it.
We were promised authentic, no frills Bengali cuisine, and that's exactly what it is. Spicy, flavourful dishes accompanied with generous portions of rice.
We went at lunchtime on a Monday, and we were seated immediately. Service is friendly and efficient.
Excellent food, lightly spiced , served hot, but the place could have been cleaner.
Delicious affordable Bengali food, excellent and speedy service. Would recommend to everyone
My tummy get saturated after eating the one person meal. They provide ample amount of rice which is more than enough for one person. Masur dal was heaven feeling taste just like mom's made thick masur daal. I enjoyed white rice with thick masur daal, bhindi onion fry along with gondhoraj lebu and pabda jhol. Each and every dish tastes very good. One more thing to mention that their staffs are very much polite and bonhomie. They will make u feel home-like 😀
Authentic bengali relics...
Traditional dishes are delicious.
Serving standards needs to be improved
Food was too good with affordable price. Stuffs behavior was also good
Tests and quality of food are so excellent.
