Natraj’s Tandoori - Irvine North: Reviews & Ratings
My brother and I come here often. They have about six vegetarian options which they alternate daily. The staff is very friendly and they give good size portions. The cost is reasonable. It's in a family friendly shopping center. It's truly a great place.
Always enjoy coming here. Whether it's sitting indoors on a cool evening, or sitting outside near the fountains. Food is tasty and not overly spicy. Service is friendly. Will come back again many times.!
Basic, canteen level service, mediocre flavored canned meals. Paired with high prices and ungodly creepy stares from all staff. 8/10 - samosas 9/10 - naan Everything else I'd tread lightly if I were you. Expensive, and undercooked canned delicacies.
Love this place! I always order a mango lassi. The portions are big. The food is served quickly. I enjoyed the tikka masala combo plate. There is seating both indoors and outdoors. The staff is great.
We've been coming here for many years and eat here about every other week. Food is literally always amazing. Definitely the best Indian food in Orange County. The restaurant is always spotless clean and the people are always very nice. I'm pretty basic so I always get the tikka masala or butter chicken with garlic naan and the occasional samosa ... the naan is big and fluffy! Everything always tastes so fresh and delicious, consistently reliable.
I love their vegan samosas, it comes in 2 pieces per order for $6.45 out the door. Also ordered their 2 item plate with rice and freshly baked naan on the side. Their Saag paneer and chana masala were delicious, and they even have other options that include fish instead of chicken, lamb, or shrimp. I look forward to stopping by and trying other options they have available in the near future!
I have lived nearby ever since this restaurant's opening and I can't believe I only just now tried it! I ordered the two entrée combo. Sadly, they only have 2 vegan entrée options when ordering a combo. You are able to order other vegan entrées but would have to order the full size which I didn't want to do. I was very surprised that there is dairy in their dal and I hope that one day changes. The two entrée combo I got had rice, Chana masala, and potatoes and green beans. They gave me roti instead of naan as a vegan bread option. I thought everything was absolutely delicious! I also tried their vegan Samosa which was INCREDIBLE. The pastry dough was flaky and tender and the potatoes and peas inside were very flavorful. I definitely will be back soon. I genuinely found this meal very delicious and filling!
