Radhika Modern Indian, located in the charming neighborhood of South Pasadena, offers a delightful contemporary take on traditional Indian cuisine. Guests rave about the warm hospitality, particularly praising the attentive service of staff like Shivani, who adds a personal touch to every dining experience. The menu showcases an impressive variety of dishes that highlight the richness of Indian flavors. Diners have particularly loved the Chicken Masala, described as a must-try, alongside an assortment of freshly baked naan and the refreshing mango lassi—often considered one of the best. The lighter take on Indian dishes, including fusion appetizers like ceviche tostadas infused with garam masala, reveals a creative culinary approach.

This restaurant isn’t just a meal; it’s an experience that lingers long after the last bite.

Delicious Indian food. Chicken masala a must have, variety of Naan bread. Mango lassi is delicious, one if best ones I ever had. The fried rice with lamb was delicious. In reality, everything was excellent.

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.

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!

Food is mind blowing, flavor is thong blowing and service is incredible. Little pricier than your average local Indian restaurant but it worth it. The venue is not spacious but the atmosphere is very lovely and cozy. Definitely, coming back.

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.

We’ve been meaning to try this place for years now. So when Electric Lotus closed down we were in search of a new Indian. This didn’t disappoint. It’s pretty good. Fresh taste. Good quality ingredients. We saw the 4.1 rating so was a little apprehensive but we would rate it closer to 4.7. Service was good. Ambiance is nice. We like coming here for lunch. Overall good vibes. Highly recommend.
