Aaahh ! the sweet scented Radhe Vega Indian restaurant Poznan

A welcome treat  for Indian vegetarian  food lovers situated on Głogowska 86.
Radhe Vega is a charming windowless place, with an Indian oriented decor befitting the setting. Food is rich, creamy, and well adjusted on capturing the mild Polish palate, compared to the traditional spicier cooking in India.
The owners have really gambled on establishing a niche restaurant in a meat dominated market, however seeing that the restaurant has survived the first few years, I think they finally have found their rightful place on the market. Locals and takeaways seem to be their main thrust of business which is a good sign of repeat clientele.
The menu is extensive, North Indian based,  with a lot of dishes featuring Paneer ( home made Indian semi-hard pressed twaróg ) a little bit hard on  customers who are lactose intolerant. A variety of Indian breads baked in the earthen oven called the Tandoor,  are featured though it is well impossible to try them all. Freshly baked Indian breads such as roti, naan, parantha are a gourmet treat not to be missed. Sadly missing out on the menu is a mixed Indian bread basket which offers customers a small degustation for a set price.
Our meal with friends was an enjoyable experience, though we would like to see more fresh vegetables in season being offered on the menu. Specially greens like zucchini, fresh spinach, broccoli, french beans, pumpkins etc. India being such a huge subcontinent offers a variety of interesting vegetarian dishes from regional cuisines. It would be magnificient if the Chef could pick at least one special dish for the day from some region other than the North,  to add further interest in the menu.
Food is averagely good, however a bit too creamy and in  heavy tomato based sauces. Perhaps even a tad pricey for the kind of establishment Radhe Vega is . A starter, main course and dessert will set you back 60 zloty easily. Price of small bottled water was another revelation, considering when one can get a decent glass of house wine for a couple of extra złoty in most restaurants for that price.
Dessert section is old fashioned and uninspiring with nothing to tickle the taste buds. Our selection of home made mango kulfi ( indian version of home made ice cream) was saturated with sugar even for Indian standards. Overall a simple unpretentious  cosy place to go to when one is inclined for Indian fare.
