Garlic Naan
Rosanna W.

Great food! So fresh, so tasty. Service is super friendly. I came in rather late, and everyone was so accommodating. I ordered a mango lassi, garlic naan, butter chicken, saag paneer, samosas, and lentil soup! Love it!

Delicious food! Friendly & fast service. We like their: * Chicken tikka masala * Chicken makhani (butter chicken) * Chana masala * Garlic naan * Chicken biryani They do not offer lunch buffet, but they have lunch specials.

Came into town after a long drive, door dashed this to our hotel, and this place really hit the spot! Delicious flavors--we ordered our usuals: tikka masala, garlic naan, and rice. Everything arrived hot, flavors were on point, portions were generous! This was the best naan I have had in a very long time. Our choices for Indian food haven't been great in the recent past. If we lived closer we'd eat here more often! Everything was packaged so well! Highly recommend!

Always enjoy a good Indian meal. Ordered the (mild)vegetable korma-lots of good veggies with a cashew nut cream sauce. Very yum with plenty of leftovers. Vegetable briyani also had a hefty portion of veggies with a bit more kick(medium spice). Lots of leftovers. Garlic naan was great. I added salt to both dishes and naan and it really enhanced the flavors. Great meal. Good service. Plenty of seating inside and out. Very reasonably priced.

Great service so skip the grub hub and come in to relax and eat. Great indoor and outdoor dining.

First time going to Sattava. Was craving for Indian food and it did not disappoint. Curry's, Naan, and Rice were all very good. What surprised me was the beer. That was very light and refreshing. Server came outside multiple times to check on us and turned on the outside heater since it was getting chilly. I couldn't decide what to order so I pointed at the pictures on their displayed poster boards. I found that very helpful. Will definitely come back. Naan was so good we ordered more.

Garlic naan and roti

Our first time to try Indian Restaurant and it was so good! We ordered garlic naan, garlic roti, butter chicken with basmati rice, mango lassi, and also we got butter lamb (same sauce with the butter chicken). Reina our server was really accommodating! We will definitely comeback. Also, I do recommend to ask them to serve everything together!

My husband's milestone birthday celebration was a fantastic one. We chose the Natraj bistro at Laguna Hills as they have a separate party room. The ambiance of this room is very nice. It is separate from the restaurant, kind of intimate and it has its own charm. When planning, I met up with the manager Ranjan, and he made sure that all our requests and requirements were met to our satisfaction. He was always available to us.

For the main lunch, there was rice, chili paneer, chicken tikka masala, and a few other vegetable dishes. The staff also walked around and served naan to everyone. SERVICE: The service was excellent!! Ranjan, the manager was so accommodating with our requests when we were planning the lunch. He really went above and beyond to take care of everything! The staff during the lunch were excellent as well. Prakash, Ankit, Shailendra, and Sai always made sure to check on all the guests and make sure they had drinks or food. They were so helpful as well when we came in early to decorate the room. A BIG thanks to all of them for their help. DECOR/AMBIANCE: We had the party in a separate room they have attached to the restaurant. This is such a great space and has a private entrance, a separate bar, and bathrooms in the room, which really made a difference. We had 60+ people and the room was big enough to fit everyone. Had a wonderful time and my dad had a wonderful birthday! Will definitely be back here again!

The place is spotlessly clean, the service is exceptionally great, and the menu is so exhaustive you might need a bookmark. We went all-in on the dinner service. The Naan was fresh, pillowy, and tasty enough to eat on its own. The Chicken 65 was prepared with the exact right amount of spice--perfectly balanced and making me wonder what happened to chickens 1 through 64. The Dahl was fantastic, but the absolute showstopper was the Biryani. Take it from someone who has spent time working in Hyderabad: this is the real deal, highly reminiscent of the city's absolute finest. We finished things off with the Shahi Tukda, which was so incredibly rich and tasty it probably needs its own tax bracket. Beyond the food, the logistics are a breeze. It's right off El Toro Road with ample parking (a true Southern California miracle). They also offer catering if you want to be the hero of your next event. We didn't get to try the lunch special this time, but it's an incredible value--two entrees, rice, naan, and a drink, neatly sidestepping the usual buffet trough. Bottom line: Go here. Eat everything. Thank me later.

I'd driven past it plenty of times on the way to the dog groomer and never once felt compelled to stop. Friday night changed that. We were hungry, but not sit-down-for-two-hours hungry. We wanted something better than fast food, but not some overproduced evening of cocktails and self-importance. We wanted food worth getting out of the car for. Rangeen hit that mark beautifully. Getting my wife on board took some work. She's not a curry person. But a few online photos of fresh, vibrant salads were enough to win her over. Inside, the place still showed traces of whatever came before it, a blank quick-serve menu screen hanging awkwardly over the counter, like a relic from another life. But this was table service, and a perfectly comfortable one at that. There were maybe eight or nine tables, and one lone server holding down the front of house. Casual, older, thin, moving with purpose. She greeted us warmly, dropped menus, answered the phone, checked back often, kept the table tidy, and somehow managed to make the whole room feel cared for without a hint of drama. I went for the spicy mango chicken. My wife chose a healthy-looking salad with grilled sweet potatoes, nuts, and all the things I generally avoid unless someone smarter than me orders them first. We added naan, because not ordering naan would have been foolish. The food took a few minutes longer than the impatient part of your brain might expect. But then it arrived, and suddenly none of that mattered. My dish was excellent: nicely seasoned bite-sized pieces of chicken, rice, a fresh side salad, and a spicy sauce that pulled the whole thing together with real intention. And the plating, that was the surprise. This wasn't tossed on a plate like an afterthought from the spot next to the grocery store. It looked like someone actually gave a damn. And that, really, is what stays with you. Not just that the food was good, but that care had gone into it. The ingredients may not have been expensive, I say that as someone who owns restaurants and knows roughly what things cost, but value isn't about raw food cost. It's about what arrives at the table, how it's presented, and whether anybody in the building seems to care if you enjoy it. At $19, this was a steal. For about the price of a drive-thru burger meal, I got something thoughtful, well executed, and satisfying enough to remind me why local places like this matter. And to the party of four next to us who only left a five-dollar tip: do better.

Something that I cannot make, something that I've tried, yet the establishment still finds a way to give me a different and enjoyable experience. Boneless Chicken and Beef Koobideh Combo: One of the most dangerous things to order, as both things can either come out as dry, or start off as great, then dry up before you can finish. None of those scenarios happened here. The chicken was soft, juicy, seasoned very well, and it stayed that way. The beef koobideh had this smoky flavor profile, which is different from what I normally expect, and I liked it. Potato Boloni: I've never had boloni in my life, and the closest comparison I have is a Chinese or Korean pancake. The boloni had areas of spiciness, and I think it had room to go higher. It's definitely an appetizer, and I won't mind having it again. Service: There were only 2-3 occupied tables when we went. I think the staff had plenty of time to take our orders, give us water, and the food arrived within a reasonable time. Ambiance: You could tell that the restaurant was designed to host wedding receptions or larger parties in mind. Stage, lights, and a bunch of stuff that may be overwhelming for some. I didn't mind. Good food is all that matters.
