Voted Scotland’s best curry restaurant of 2025, The Radhuni in Loanhead is celebrating again after retaining its prestigious AA Rosette for the fifth year in a row.
It is one of only a handful of Indian-style restaurants in Scotland to have been awarded at least one Rosette for culinary excellence.
In October The Radhuni was named Scotland’s top curry house in Awards organised by national trade magazine Curry Life. Matin Khan, founder and Executive Chef of The Radhuni and its sister restaurant Itihaas in Dalkeith, was voted Scotland’s Best Curry Chef. Judges said he was one of the nine leading curry chefs in Britain.
Trophies were presented at a gala dinner attended by 500 guests at the Marriott Grosvenor House Hotel in London’s Mayfair.
His son Habibur, Managing Director of both restaurants (pictured with the new plate), commented: “Winning an AA Rosette is hard enough but keeping it year after year is even tougher. We have to demonstrate that we continually uphold the highest standards of food and service, which are also mirrored at Itihaas. Retaining this distinction is a tribute to the professionalism, dedication and hard work of our staff throughout the year.”
Rosette Awards are determined by an AA inspector during one or more visits to a hotel or restaurant during which the entire meal is assessed. The Radhuni was said to “achieve standards that stand out in their local area, serving food prepared with care, understanding and skill, using good quality ingredients.”
