This was perhaps THE BEST INDIAN FOOD you can get in Vienna (NOT KIDDING). Everything we ordered from Paneer to Chicken to Naan/Roti tasted absolutely DELICIOUS !! The staff was SUPER kind and hospitable. The ambience and seating were great. This was overall a REALLY good dining experience for Indian food in Vienna. HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone who is looking for an authentic North Indian dining experience. read more

We've been dreaming of this place since returning home to the States. It's hard to not overcook shrimp in Indian food, but the shrimp was perfect! We ordered the shrimp vindaloo and the paneer masala. Both were everything we needed. We savored with a bottle of Indian wine the owner suggested and of course with garlic nan. There was just a touch of cream and butter enough to make the dish scrumptious but enough veggies to help you know youre not just eating paneer and butter lol. While on vacation, we needed "comfort food" instead of Viennese, Danish, and Czech (which had been our travels), and this delivered! A friendly environment, great menu, best Indian I've ever had, good prices, and an over all fabulous evening. We felt right at home. Hint: we like spice! Ordering spicy was enough to burn a bit in a good way but not over the top. read more

Wow! This place wins on all counts. The food is delicious. The chutneys are actually fresh made! I've never tasted such fresh and delicious chutneys before. The starters are all freshly made. The taste is wonderful! There are no pre-made and frozen appetizers here and your taste buds know the difference. The sauces on the main courses are all unique. Again your taste buds know the difference between individually made fresh sauces and the one-size-fits-all sauces many restaurants serve with just a base sauce with 1 or 2 extra ingredients added to make it "unique". The sauces here are the real deal. The service is marvelous. It's a family-run business and you get the distinct feeling they actually enjoy the work they've chosen. Our waiter who seemed to be owner/manager was clearly having a good time chatting with his guests and being great at what he does. The ambience is warm and cozy. It's a small place so reservations are a good idea. Our lovely waiter gave us a coconut schnapps at the end of our meal. I had never tried that before. The taste was marvelous. I intend on coming back here with my kids. too. This place has the kind of relaxed atmosphere kids feel comfortable in. Plus there are still things on the menu I haven't tried yet. I have to eat my way through! read more

We found the restaurant, searching for the best Indian restaurant in Vienna. Without looking at the opening times we went there and arrived while they were about to close the restaurant. They were so nice that they served us anyway, even 10 minutes before closing. The staff were really friendly and told us not to rush and take our time. The food was the best Indian food we've ever had. Even my friend who doesn't prefer Indian food loved it. Thanks again! read more

Had dinner at Natraj last night. My wife and I were greeted by the manager/owner(?) who seated us. Not rude, but not overly welcoming either. Took our order (ordered Chicken Tikka Masala and Chili Chicken) and he acted disappointed when I said no drinks - just tap water to drink. Also ordered plain rice and Naan (dishes come a-al- carte). The guys who waited on us afterwards were much friendlier. Overall the food was average (3 stars). The Chili Chicken and Chicken tikka masala looked and tasted about the same - go figure. Chili chicken looked a little darker, but that's about the only difference. Neither dishes tasted authentic at all. The naan bread was good, but not tandoori naan that we are used to in the US. Perhaps they don't have a tandoor (clay oven). When I asked for the check, the original manager/owner showed up with a sachet that has change and gave me the check. He stood there until I took out the cash. The totals were correct (It was 27.20 euros). I gave him 27.50 and expected to get the change back since he brought the change bag with him. He took my 27.50 and mumbled something like "thanks" and left our table in 2 seconds, not to return. The .30 euros is not a big deal, but it is his behavior that caught me off guard and disappointed me. Not a place I would recommend or go back to. Like someone else has said, if you are in Vienna and you have-to-have Indian, then it is not awful. Have not tried other Indian places in Vienna, so I can't make a recommendation. Seems like most of the Indian/Pakistani restaurants are priced about the same. Yelp shows one € in the price range. It needs to be €€ like others in the same price range. For a point of reference, I am of Indian decent and have lived in the US most of my life. This was the first place I tried in Vienna and was not very impressed. I have had "good to excellent" Indian food in other European cities, so Europe is not the problem. read more

Food was great and may be the best food we had in Vienna. We had Paneer Makhani, Dal Makhani, different Naans, pulao, Raita and lassi. Their Aloo naan and mango lassi were very good! The owner is a nice person and very friendly. He even offered one free dish due to some delays. Our overall experience was very different (pleasantly) than the initial perception during check-in process. We would definitely plan to visit the place again. Tip - Plan to reserve the table in advance as it gets full fast. read more

We had dinner at Natraj yesterday and it was really lovely. The service is great, the food is wonderful, the atmosphere is a mixture of quaint and cozy. Perfect for winter evenings. In Austria you aren't used to getting free stuff (i.e. Lack of bread & butter, free ketchup, refills.. *sigh) We were served homemade chutneys with papadam while we waited for our meal. This was a nice touch and curbed our hunger while we waited for our food, which didn't take too long considering everything here is fresh, prepared from scratch. We ordered the lamb korma and a vegan dish, along with garlic Naan, Raita and rice. I asked them to make my dish spicy, and it was perfect. The lamb was so tender, the sauce so fragrant. Yum. We had leftovers which they packed up nicely for us before we left. Overall a great experience and we are so glad to have finally found our new Indian go-to restaurant. read more

Alright, let's calm down, people. If you're from the States, this place is probably nothing new. Yes, the food was pretty good, but these latest reviews were hyping this place up like cray. 3.5/5 is a fair rating, I'd say. The service was sufficient, although it took a while for someone to take our order. I didn't think service was as exceptional as previous posters claimed. I had the chicken masala and it was a 3/5. My friend had some veggie dish and it was about a 4/5. If you're really craving Indian, I'd say come. It was a good change of pace from the gastropubs I've been visiting the past few days. read more

The food here made me feel so home, had tried it twice here at Vienna. I would definitely recommend their chicken tikka masala and the mango shake. read more

Authentic tasting food, many vegetarian options, friendly staff and overall a great experience. It's good that they can make the dishes in different levels of spicy, I just hope it doesn't discourage people from choosing to get their food really spicy. read more

Sri Nataraja - Indian Near Me - Vienna, 9

We were looking for Indian food and were arriving into Vienna around lunch. Train was delayed and so I called the restaurant to check on timing for last order and so on. The owner was very welcoming for our group of 6 , with just about 10 mins to closing. The food arrived really quick and was served hot.. just off the stove and fresh. It was the best Indian food we have had in a long time. Their whole wheat chapathis (with ghee/butter) are unbeatable.. they make it fresh, hot and the aroma is sure to make you want to eat more. In the West most people are unaware that there's a healthier counterpart to Naan. Portions are good for 2 people to share. We went back another day, owner was not there, the staff were friendly and very nice. If you're in the hood and looking for great Indian food, please go to Natraj! read more

A bit of an average experience. The place is small & cosy, the service nice. But the food was just...lets say OK. We've had better Indian in Vienna. Our Tikka Masala tasted strange, the chicken was definitely not grilled as announced in the menu. the fried starter was average. read more

Great service , we came all the way from Texas to visit the city! Craving Indian so I searched Indian restaurant and this came up first. Owner and Servers speak Hindi as well so that made it very easy to order. Appetizer was amazing (chicken samosa) entree (butter chicken , tikka masala) 2 butter naan and 2 garlic naan. They make everything fresh btw which is great. Overall the menu is really cheap all dishes are under 8-9 euro. Experience and quality of food was A+. read more

I travelled from the US and was craving some good Indian food and this place did not disappoint! Very good. I would come here again.

One of the worst restaurant experiences I have had in many years. We were a party of nine people, with a reservation. Showed up on time to a very quiet restaurant with very few other patrons present. It took literally one hour and twenty minutes to serve us our indifferent food. Multiple reminders required for drinks. The staff seemed oblivious to the situation. read more

This place deserves the title of being the worst Indian restaurant in the whole world ! 1- place is small and very hot 2- serves was bad , had to wait for 30 minutes to be served 3- food was not fresh ! Chicken biryani was clearly reheated ( and still cold ! ) and tasteless !, chicken tikka masala was reaheated and the curry was clearly not Indian , rather chines dum sum thing with sweet taste ! , eggplant and potato curry was ok to be honest . 4- waiter asked us in advance if i we are going to pay in cash or card ! And asked the same question for asian ladies beside us ! I assume he is asking so that he will increase the bill for the credit card payment ! 5- recite was hand writing on paper so that he can manipulate the prices !!!! 6- please avoid this place ! read more

Excellent! Service was welcoming and pleasant and food delicious. Tried two appetisers: veggie dumplings (don't know the actual name) and samosas. Veggie dumplings were excellent and I don't think I'll skip them in this restaurant, ever. Samosas were OK, but dumplings were better. As a main, we tried the butter chicken with naan. I really liked it and the heat (spice) was just right. Can't wait to come back and try more things. read more

Very good Indian food. Friendly staff. One of our first good restaurant experiences when we moved here.

Last night we had an excellent meal at NATRAJ-5. If you like Indian food you will love this place. It's a cozy little restaurant with a friendly and helpful staff. The tomato soup was very tasty as was the lentil curry soup. My wife loves Palak Paneer and she said it was one of the best she's had. I had the lamb dish, Bhunna Gosht, and it was excellent as well. Our friends enjoyed the chicken mango curry and the Palak Paneer. They also had a nice wine selection to pair with our meal. read more

We found Natraj through Yelp. We were in the mood for Indian food and walked almost 2 miles from our hotel to reach it -- and it was TOTALLY worth it. Friendly and attentive service, reasonable prices, and food that was uniformly spectacular. They are happy to adjust spices to your taste (and tolerance). Our party of four ordered both the curry/lentil and tomato soups and they were both exquisite. The Palak Paneer was awesome, and all the meat dishes were also wonderfully savory. The server was also the proprietor and he went out of his way to welcome us like family. We had a wonderful experience there! read more
