Here is what Shona Sylva in Australia had to say about the Radhuni: “I have to say, the Radhuni Loanhead gets my vote from Down Under… So upset not to be able to get home this year to have a family RADhUNI get together there. Love the inside, décor, outside terrace. It has the best menu… the quality of the traditional Indian food provided cannot be beaten. It is really worth Townies making the effort to visit and experience what the Radhuni has to offer!” Photo: Google Maps
