    Chicken Tikka Masala
    Nao I.

    Natraj is a fast food Indian restaurant where they have everything ready. We ordered the chicken tikka masala to go and some garlic naan on the side. Curry comes with basmati rice and they are nice big portions. Irvine has tons of great Indian food but Natraj is just not up there at all. The chicken tikka masala was really tomato-y and the chicken was horrendously dry. The garlic naan was fluffy and crispy and tasted good with the curry. I don't think I would come back to Natraj unless they have some big promotion going on or there's no Indian restaurants around.

    2 ITEM COMBO TO-GO

    I like the food here, it's quick and ready to eat. Their curries are really good and I love their naan bread. Great place if you want something quick and easy.

    Don't trust the rewards program, they don't honor it!

    This place has been delicious the times we have visited and pretty standard but I came by today to redeem my birthday reward which they emailed me to use, it was a free one item combo with the purchase of a drink. I drove out of my way since this was the closest location to me, all for them to tell me at the register that they refused to accept it and that there was no way they were going to. I had already ordered my food by then and made the trip for it but it was very disappointing to be mislead. I even double checked that it was for the right location. I'm currently eight months pregnant, and was violently craving Indian food so I just ended up paying. This encounter put a bad taste in my mouth and will no longer be supporting this company. There are better spots anyways. I left the two stars for the fresh food and clean location.

    Enjoyed the quick service. Prices was affordable, under $20. Got their special which was rice, bread and 1 or 2 entrees. Staff was very nice, welcoming and quick. Will be coming back!

    Garlic Naan
    Alan S.

    Natraj's Tandoori is a fast casual Indian restaurant chain with locations throughout southern Orange County. I always opt for a two item combination meal which is served with rice and freshly baked naan. You can sub garlic naan for a small fee. On a recent visit, I ordered the Chicken Curry and Chicken Vindaloo with my combo. The chicken items are always flagrant and flavorful, and I always appreciate the portion size. Unfortunately the garlic naan was disappointing this time and was tasteless. Also, the service was subpar and the staff member behind the counter was both impatient and inhospitable. Despite the poor service, Natraj's is a good option if you're craving Indian cuisine and don't have time for a proper sit down meal.

    The display of my food chicken tikka masala and chicken tandoori

    Great location but food quality could've been better. Chicken Masala had a strong tomato base it reminded me of when I was younger eating chef boyardee. The cashier was rude and seemed like he was in a hurry. He kept interrupting me in the middle of my question. It wasn't bad since I was looking for something quick but also not worth the money for the quality of food. If you're ever in Long Beach I recommend trying "FLAMIN CURRY"

    Delicious!!!

    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!

    2 entree Combo meal - vegan - Chana Masala and potato green beans with rice
    Molly E.

    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!

    Chicken Tikka Masala
    Nick L.

    There's a lot on the menu, but their chicken tikka masala is my favorite thing there. Their garlic naan is unmatched and perfect for dipping in the sauce. The service is quick and easy. There's a nice seating area in the back and there's also a lot of outdoor seating as well. Instagram: @ToshiEats TikTok: @ToshiEats_

Both of the curries look very similar but each have their own distinct taste. You can get hints of tomato or coconut.. The garlic naan was very soft but still flaky. Best to dip in curry. Other guests ordered sizzling plates that smelled so good! I got fomo. I want what they got. Next time! This place has a really really nice dining room with red table cloth and silverware on each table. Service is very fast. Right after ordering, food arrived like in like 5 minutes or less. Overall it was a very pleasant dining experience. Highly recommend to check out.

Tables were dirty and when asked to clean; they only cleaned that one specific area and left. I don't even understand why people are saying it is the best karahi and nihari. First off it was overly priced who pays $27 for 5 pieces of chicken with some gravy. My sil can make better karahi than this. It was like a combination of 2 packets of karahi Shan masala mixed in a pan. The portions were very small compare to the price. Goat pulao was the worst pulao I have eaten probably. At least pay attention making your food if you're overcharging your customers, clean your place, provide solid customer service and make the food in a timely manner. All the good reviews are paid and probably their known people writing the review. We had to ask for water and cups after sitting there for 30 minutes no one even bothered to at least put water on our table. They barely had staff working and only 1 at the cash register or serving food. The place needs deep cleaning; it gives an unsanitary vibes that puts a bad impression to begin with. Food is not good at all. Portions are small and overly priced of what they offer. Please avoid this place, don't go for good reviews (they are all paid for). We are extremely disappointed!
