Buffet:Big variety, a few I never had before.Delicious (the lamb stew & lamb kabob were a tad salty, tough); $26/p, a bit over priced.Beautiful interior. Bar & dance floor!Could see this as a venue for big celebrations. Well done!

Great setting and decor. Food is most excellent and full of flavor. Waiters are polite and friendly and very attentive. We went for Mothers day brunch and place was busy but with available tables with out reservation.

Super friendly and timely service. A good selection of food. They changed it up every weekend. It’s great to get a good variety. But we also miss some of our favorite from the previous week. This place gets busy on weekends. But it’s big enough that we can always get a table when we arrived.

Absolutely delicious 🤤 and light! I expected Indian cuisine to be a bit on the greasy side but all of the curries and dishes were lighter than I expected and were soooo yum. Great staff too! Cant wait to go back ❤️

The service and the atmosphere were good. But price and quantity dont match at all. I bought a platter which contains 2 pieces of pakors, 2 small chiken pieces and a kebab which is just cut into 2 and one piece of samosa. It also comes with chutney. I paid 19 dollar something for tat small quantity of food. Taste was ok. Not so bad. But if you guys are charging 19 dlr try to add little bit more stuff. 19 dollars for tat much food is an unfair rate.

Hospitality, ambience is commendable. We did not get a good feel of taste for the food we ordered, Masala papad was dead spicy, pakora was supposed to mix of veg, but got standard ones. Poori ordered was not smelling good batter. Panner curry was made ok. Overall, could have done better interms of taste of the food.

Finally tried the lunch buffet and it was great. Mimosas were included and they did a great job keeping the glass filled even tho it was fully packed. Its a great way to try the different Indian dishes at a fantastic price!!

Dinner there was delicious and delightful with excellent service. We then tried their lunch buffet and the food was good but the meat options were limited. But dinner has it all and you will enjoy the flavors and quantity served.

I enjoyed every item I tried at their $18.99 buffet lunch, which included a glass of mango lassi (which was excellent). The staff was very friendly, and the place has a comfortable interior.

Excellent quality food and safe indoor dining at a time when every other place is closed (Updated as of 1/5/21).Everyone is required to wear masks when not sitting at their table, and a waiter is the only person that touches the food, you just tell them what you want.Price is a bit expensive at $15.99, however that also includes any drink of your choice, and considering how fresh the food was and how difficult it is for restaurants to survive right now the price makes sense.Waiters are extremely nice, unless you refuse to wear your mask, in which case they will swiftly kick you out without question.

This is one of my absolute top Indian restaurants…especially in the United States.The good is delicious and so fresh. There are a good number of entrées to choose from, many of which are vegetarian. And the Buffay comes with all you can eat appetizers, salad, and fruit, entrées, drinks, and garlic naan. Soooo delicious!I very much appreciate the way the servers work together to take care of the customers. This definitely impacts the quality of the experience and I’m sure is an indication of the care being given to details behind the scene.I’m very grateful for the people behind this incredible restaurant. It’s definitely a gift to the community!

I visited almost 50+ countries for my business trip and wherever I go I always try our Indian food with homely feel. Here I can tell you.1. We ordered fish tikka this is fine. 7/102. We ordered chicken tikka masala & dhal makhni the worst one they given with too much salt for both item especially the chicken gravy . After we complain they told will replace. But the same dish with some butter they returned again. Can’t eat single piece. -0/103. Without eating we asked to pack them. They said we can’t pack and they given small container to our table with some poly bags to pack the items with ourself. Anyway we packed them.4. While we pack ourself they given bill and pushed us to pay them quickly. Even we are not started to pack fully. Even 5 star hotels pack with their kitchen and bring us.5. Very stupid people and worst behaviour to showing their attitude to our Indian peoples.6. See the restaurant people don’t ready to accept any small complaints.7. I prefer if you really want to go to taste some Indian food 100% don’t go this kind of restaurant. They are running money motive only.Over all 0% quality. 0% service. In my experience from more than 50+ countries I never faced such kind of Indian restaurant.

This place has superior flavors, spicing and service to all the Indian spots that are closer to my place in HB/ Costa Mesa. The curry chicken is my favorite and I also really enjoy their eggplant, chana masala, and saag.

Today is the first time we eat here. There are not many kinds, but all the food is delicious and tastes good, and the service is friendly, the atmosphere is comfortable and clean, the seating is comfortable. Overall satisfying. We will definitely come back again.

I have known this restaurant for a long time and I am sorry to say the quality of the food has declined gradually. Father’s Day Sunday Brunch was such a case of declined quality. The appetizers especially the vegetable pakoras were raw inside not cooked probably dropped-’em in hot oil. The overall food had no taste. I would not recommend this place. $70.00 for a party of two not worth it.

Went here with my new wife, as we enjoy Indian food. I was happy to hear that they have a buffet seven days a week. We arrived at the tail-end of the buffet hours in a Sunday, so the food could have been a little hotter, but it was very tasty especially the spinach and chicken Tika masala.Price $19 for Sunday buffet

The best restaurant for Indian cuisine. Best price and great food. I visited for lunch with family. The best thing is their buffet for 18$ with lots of options. We had lunch buffet where they served 5 No meat dishes ( best was Madras Allo curry) and 4 curries were with meat. Three different kind of dessert. It was a really great lunch for all of us. Service was good even though it was quite a busy time for them. Would highly recommend and will visit them again for sure

Colleagues and I came here for their lunch time buffet. All you can eat and good Indian buffet. They have many vegetarian (no eggs too) options. Give them a call and ask for the options before heading out. Very friendly staff.

I would leave zero stars if I could. I’m confident the food here poisoned me. It’s the only food that I ate in the last 24 hoursThe food was mediocre and low standards.incredibly poor food quality and was overpriced. On top of that, It was overall a very bad experience. I don’t recommend this place to anyone.

Definitely under new ownership. Seating was available outside but the staff seated a party with a dog at the table closest to the lunch buffet. Lost my appetite.

2023-05-30 00:35:07

Great options. Food is really really good. Plus they give you lassi or a choice of your drink in the buffet. So worth it. All their chicken curries are awesome and their paneer papad starter as well. Naan was very good as well.

Very disappointing and frightening experience. We had ordered food to go on Friday. The food was delicious, and my fiancé and I felt as though it was worth the price. There were a few crunchy pieces that I didn’t think anything of at first, assuming it was a spice or something like that. Eating leftovers on Saturday night, there was a particularly large crunchy piece that I had spat out. To my surprise it was a shard of GLASS. There is absolutely no situation which this glass would have gotten in the food from our household, and we firmly believe the other “crunchy pieces” were smaller shards of glass. When calling to inform the store that GLASS was served to customers, they offered us a 20% discount on our next order (we obviously will not be returning). I wasn’t going to leave a review, but after their poor response to have had shards of glass served I had to say something. Luckily neither of us have had any serious issues so far, but this could have been extremely dangerous. I leave 2 stars because this is clearly a staff issue, as the flavor of the food met our expectations. But there is absolutely no way I would ever return to a restaurant that served shards of glass in our food.

The food is a bit salty. However considering the price and the fact that the drink is also included in lunch buffet, it is a great choice.

We happened to arrive at lunch time during which the buffet was available. There is a large variety of dishes and they all were very tasty. The place is spacious and neat. We enjoyed it very much and will be back.

Food is 12/10 - but some staff really have to work on their cleanliness and hygiene standards (aka don’t touch the buffet food with your bare hands!!!)

I have been looking for a good Indian food restaurant in this area for a long time and now have found one. Flavors were good we ordered natravan korma and chicken Tikka masala. Both were excellent and came with rice. Nan was also what you would expect. Would definitely come here again.

Review №38

2023-02-26 22:30:26

As a south Indian, the food was by far bland. Not sure how you can screw up on Tikka masala and tandoori. Let alone mango lassi. Even a store bought mango lassi from Costco tastes better. The ambiance and service were great tho.

Worst experience! First of all food quality was below average. None of the items tasted fresh.Later When the bill was offered, we were surprised looking at the total amount. It was 30% higher. Lot of miscellaneous charges, taxes and service fees was added.To understand more, our group politely requested breakup of the bill.But instead of explaining, restaurant manager who was very rude in behavior thrashed our request.The arrogant behavior with all customers including kids and women was beyond acceptable limit. They didn’t care about the dignity of the customer, their overall experience but only objective was to snatch the money by hook or crook.This should be our first and last visit to this restaurant. Beware of your money friends. And keep yourself away from such money snatchers.

I really like this chain. It has been in my life for many years and I consider them an introduction to the wonderful flavors of Indian food. I have brought many people here for the first time, to get them to expand their horizons or at least their scope of cultural menu options and each time we have made a new fan of Indian food. Their servings are the right size, they must know how much the average person can eat and that it is almost pointless to reheat (like most pizza) and have any semblance of the same taste and flavor come through. When dining in, they are very attentive, sometimes with multiple people working in tandem to provide great service. My newest convert chose something he loved and although I dont recall the name it is the dish with corn and peas. I had the chicken Tikka Masala and the sauce was delicious. The Samosas are very good and delivered right out of the heat, so be careful. Naan is okay and their rice is good but the rice portion is a little small. Hey you cant win them all.

We just gonna try this resturant tomorrow only because someone was upset from his next tables dog! I really respect animals more than people and love to appreciate the restaurant manager for his warm heart God bless to these animal friendly people and so sad about those people who has old fashion mind and think animals ( dogs ) are dirty! Or they breathing for example gonna make foods dirty because their table was next to buffet ! And god bless to the owner of the dog to bring his baby to resturant and not let him stay in the car in Californias hot weather 🤍

Visiting from New Jersey where we have Indian restaurants as well, but dont have one like this establishment and this quality of buffet. Everything they served tasted very good. I particularly liked the goat curry which was great on naan bread. Plates were picked up on a timely basis. If you like Indian food, I definitely recommend this place. They offer an all you can eat lunch buffet for $13 - a bargain. A good selection of veg and non-veg tasty dishes to pile up on your plate and enjoy

Review №48

2022-03-15 01:48:24

Just the rudest manager. Our order wasnt correct which is ok, mistakes happen, and he shouted me down telling me I DO want to eat this. I DO. It was bizarre and unnecessary. Indian food isnt exactly scarce, its not worth the potential headache of a volatile person just to get a mediocre curry.

Review №49

2021-10-10 22:31:29

Worst Indian food here. No taste. All dishes taste similar, no recipes.Arrogant and expressionless staff as mentioned by other reviewers.No respect for the customers.Do not waste your time here. We gave couple of chances to this place but bad customer service and low quality of food always disappointed us.Never coming back.Forgot to mention they charge 20$/person for buffet.Which is expensive than most of the Indian buffets in LA and Orange county, with such below average food quality.

I’ve been going here since I was a kid and it’s always been great! My favorite is their lunch buffet, and if you don’t have time to eat in, you can take 2-3 items to go. They are generous on portion sizes and it’s delicious food. It’s hard to choose my favorite items, but some are the eggplant and the spinach. But I love a lot of the options!

Review №51

2022-02-15 00:39:33

My partner and I love this place. The staff is so nice and attentive. As vegans, we have had almost everything we can have on their menu (which is a lot) and its all been amazing.

Easy to find via Google Maps. Although its in the back corner of the center. The buffet has a lot of variety of dishes albeit a little cold since we were eating late and buffet hours were almost over. The services was great. And the ambiance is nice compared to most Indian restaurants. The food is good but not amazing.

We ordered food for our daughters birthday this Sunday, we had m two conditions, food must reach venue by 10.30 am and it should be less spicy super tasty. We ordered Chicken Biryani, raita, spring roll, chicken tikka kabab, jalebi, noodles, veg biryani and sandwich. Believe me our guests were asking us if they can take some food home :) Taste was so good and we cant ask more for our daughters birthday. My local friends who loved Indian food earlier are gonna this place for sure. We r super Happy 😊

My wife and I have been enjoying Natraj for many years--the one off of Alicia Parkway. I believe there are 3 locations but I can only vouch for this one. What I am always looking for in a restaurant is great food prepared and served consistently. Every time weve eaten there weve come away happy and satisfied. There was never a bad experience and there was never any change in how we were treated and served. To me this a blessing. I usually get the chicken curry and one of the things I like about it is that you can choose the heat--1 to 10. I like it hot so I get like a 7. They changed the décor so the atmosphere is even better now. They have discount cards which defray the cost. The prices are reasonable. I also love the condiments served with a crispy flat bread. I have nothing bad to say. Enjoy!Will

I came here for the lunch buffet and it was fantastic. The food was delicious. It was great value too! The staff was friendly and very busy removing plates and silverware from guests tables as they were finished. I usually go for vegetarian food at restaurants, so it was exciting to have so many delicious options. I definitely plan on coming back here.

2019-06-08 18:54:09

My favorite local Indian food place. I love spicy so when I ask for spicy they deliver after warning me, but I love the heat. I love their lamb dishes, but everything on menu is great. A wonderful hidden gem of you like Indian. Worth a visit.

Review №57

2020-02-29 18:33:28

I have been going here for years. The food and service is consistently excellent. All the food is authentically prepared and served fresh. The Chicken Tandoori is especially good and worth the wait as the cooking process takes a little more time. The garlic naan bread with the creamed eggplant is amazing. Any of the curries are great and especially the lamb curry. Chicken Tikka Marsala is another one of our family favorites. You can find a quiet corner for a romantic candlelight evening. Its nice to dine in a place that offers such great service and still uses linen tablecloths and napkins. Enjoy.

Review №58

2017-06-14 17:56:16

The food is amazing. Staff is rude and lazy. Walked by us several times and ignored us when we asked for something to drink. Ordered a diet coke 3 times. One guy just walked in and out of the kitchen and just shuffled chairs as if he was working. Wiped the same table 5 times. The only time one guy looked our way was when we were leaving. Been here twice. Would come more often if service was better.

Review №59

2020-10-04 04:50:53

One of our favorite places. I must say the food isnt the same as it used to be, a tiny bit less tasty, a tiny bit less tender. They also now charge for papadum and sauces that used to be free. But its always a great experience and these days most places are a little off in some way. So were happy and well be back.

Review №60

2021-03-09 19:27:31

I have eaten lunch many times at the buffet, and have had dinner a few times as well. The lunch buffet is very good. There is a wide variety of salads, vegetables and entrees. I wish they would routinely have standard chicken curry or vindaloo instead of mutton dishes. The buffet lunch is a deal for what you get. The dinners are equally tasty, but are quite a bit more expensive. Service is just average.

Review №61

2021-06-13 02:18:43

Service was good, food was good. The only thing i did not like was the smell. I felt like the table where we sat, it was smelling like bathroom.Otherwise, I will recommend to go to this place as per the food taste and buffet price.

Best Indian food in the area. Be adventurous and try the different kulcha. They do a great job of customizing your order.We’ve gone here consistently for takeout and pick up during the pandemic and are super happy they survived.How can a girl live without peas pulao and raita? Malai kofta, tikka (of course) masala chai...yum!And really nice waiters😁

I love Natraj Cuisine of India. My friends and I come here on a regular basis for the amazing lunch buffet. The servers are attentive and the food never disappoints. Some of my favorites are the samosas and chicken korma. But dont just take my word for it, go try it!

2016-11-26 23:40:36

Food is excellent but the staff arent very friendly. Ive picked up food from here quite a bit and I believe in giving the benefit of the doubt and who doesnt have an off day but the staff is not very welcoming. In particular, the fellow with a ponytail looks disappointed every time Ive seen him. Its kind of laughable how poor their customer service is. The guy just tossed my food on the counter and walked off. Had to ask for utensils, just basic stuff a 16 year old at his first job could get right. Call and place an order if you dont believe me. Food is excellent though

2017-11-03 18:21:54

Awesome food, properly prepared and spiced (we like ours very spicy!), a large selection of unusual menu options (plus the usual items), great service, delicious complimentary condiments, large portions, fair prices, comfortable seats, cloth napkins and table settings, open until 10:00 every night...need I say more? Not even a minute off the I-5 freeway so very convenient too!

Very nicely decorated Restaurant. Food was good and this Place is good to have large parties. It is a big hall to have big party not like some other Restaurants that they have partitions or booths. I attended an engagement party there Last week and I loved the Place and the food.

Natraj is a really nice spot for some great Indian food. The lunch buffet was very reasonable and had a variety of entrees. They also do a very good job with take-out. I would recommend checking it out for a succulent Indian meal.

Review №71

2019-07-08 06:04:56

Tasty food but quite overpriced for the serving size. 8 tiny pieces and I mean tiney cubes of chicken in the tikka masala for 16.00. I mentioned this to the waiter and he saw the tiny pieces and had no comment. Restaurant was pretty empty for dinner and the service was below average. Never checked to see if we needed anything. Had to flag waiter down. Party of 8 celebrating a birthday and did not offer to give not one donut for dessert when asked. Ordered a moscow mule and it was terrible but drank it anyway. Tasted artificial. It is sad because I love Indian food so I will have to find another place to eat. Because the waiters here make a good minimum wage plus tips unlike other states I feel that the service is below par compared to another state were I just moved from.

Natraj has a very nice buffet, and the dishes are made well. Service can be a bit chaotic on occasion. Good value for the money. Have had some outstanding dinners were service was excellent, but also a tad more pricey.

Review №74

2020-04-03 22:57:27

Absolutely horrible. First they gave me no rice with my takeout order and second when I asked for a little extra spicy they made my dish uneatable. It was basically chicken covered in only hot spices and nothing else. I know indian food is spicy but this was something different it was almost like it was intentional.

Review №75

2021-10-31 05:19:53

We ordered the spicy food and the food was not spicy. Also it didnt reflect any of the indian taste. To add more, the rice was also not warmed and the cutleries had stain all over it.Pretty expensive when compared to other indian restaurant around. Definitely need to improve a lot.

Review №76

2021-08-22 20:10:00

I used to love this place but the food quality has gone down over the past few years. Not sure if the chef changed or if theres new ownership. Sad to say, but there are definitely better options than Natraj these days

Natraj is a delight. I know it gets downplayed sometimes, but I really like it, my wife likes it and I always consider it a treat to come here to eat. The prices are reasonable and the servings are generous. I am always satisfied after I eat here.

Personally I love this location, I always get their baingan bharta dish or the baingan aloo, I am vegan and allergic to dairy so I appreciate that they give the option to make the baingan bharta without the milk or butter. On Valentine’s Day they even gave my partner and I some extra, it was awesome.

So great. My family eats takeout here often. Im white but my parents and grandparents lived in India before I was born so Ive grown up eating homecooked Indian Food. Natraj and its connected grocery stores and other restaurants are all sooo good. Yummy!

This place has the best Indian food ive had in Southern California. And, im not kidding, my friends and I went to Natraj about 2 months ago, and when we went back, our Waiter remembered us and even remembered the drinks we had. Very good service and amazing food.

Ive never been to this restaurant before, so I figured I would try it out (I did carry out, not dine-in).The employee that helped me was very kind and easy to talk to.However, there were small pieces of broken glass in the food. I was eating Chicken Curry, Saag Paneer, and the Saffron rice at the time, so Im not sure which dish had the glass.The sad part is, the food was very very good, hence the 3 stars and not 1 for glass in my teeth.

If you dining in the restaurant and order naan, if you need some extra naan during your dinner they give you some more. I ordered $136 worth of food on the Internet and three orders of naan. after thinking about it, it was probably not enough so I called and asked for some extra naan and the guy said you will have to pay for more! It’s a piece of bread and you can’t give me an extra piece of bread with a $136 order? Great customer service!

Went there to birthday day party..food was so par below..highlight was went to have a drink from the bar along with friends....ordered scotch and some long island drinks from the bar..you wont believe what you get..when you ask the bartender that the drink is not good..then he would ask us whats the receipe..Very expensive for the drink 15$ for what you dont like. not even close to what you get from BJs better drink and better price somewhere else..this is my experience...

Consistently one of the true gems in all of Orange County. Do not let the fact they are in a shopping center fool you. This is consistently the finest cuisine of India.

Ive had Indian food at two other restaurants back where I lived in Virginia and this did not meet my standards. Ordering the chicken tikka masala for takeout, their packaging was inconvenient and led to easy spillage of my curry and little rice. Naan had too much oil and became soggy. Curry is too salty and not enough cream. The chicken is bland without the sauce and too large in chunks (I questioned if it was marinated). Rice was too hard but was separated well. What I did like was the staff who took my order and spicy level! My food was prepared quickly and everything I ordered was included. Overall the main concern is the salt, ruined the meal.

Ordered delivery from Ntraj through Grubhub. The food was Delivered cold. The Chicken tikka masala was extremely salty. Called the restaurant to address the issue. Owner made me go back to the restaurant and bring the food with me to give me a new order. That’s extremely disappointing when you order delivery, pay for it, then have to go back in person to the restaurant to return a dish that wasn’t made properly ! Now the worst part of it all is that I get back home and long and behold the new order is just as salty as the first one! All they did is dilute the sauce with water ! This was my first time ordering from them and I️ Would never order from them again

We came after the lunch buffet was over, so we ordered two dishes and shared. The mushroom and cashew mudder was really fantastic; the other thing was kind of forgettable (ie I forgot the name). The meal came with free flatbread crackers that were just OK. We also ordered garlic Naan, which was also just OK (one star off - you need good Naan at an indian restaurant!). They had a the music turned up way too loud, too, which was silly since the place was practically empty (one star off).

Very bad experience,ordered chicken biryani they bought rice mixed with chicken curry as chicken biryani.Am from India especially from South India well known how the biryani will be.Decided not go again to that restaurant.Felt very bad of not serving authentic taste of few Indian dishes and making people think thats the taste of Indian food.Not suggest to Indian friends to spoil their day by their worst food and service.
