I've only been here once. I had no idea what to get and the servers patiently described the items I asked about and they even gave me a few samples. (I'm glad they did, because I would've ordered wrong if they hadn't). The location has a huge parking lot, it's right off the freeway and there's indoor and outdoor seating. read more

A variety of options especially vegetarian ones! The 2 item combo comes with rice and naan (you can upgrade to garlic naan). The food is flavorful and not spicy. I usually get my order to go but they do have a casual seating option as well. read more

Ordered through Uber Eats and got a two item combo (palak paneer and chicken tikka masala with rice and roti), two orders of chicken tandoori, two orders of samosas and rice. The order took a little longer than anticipated but that was because they were fresh making the chicken tandoori, which was very tasty albeit a little more saucy than I'm used to. The samosas were excellent... freshly fried and crisp on the outside. The accompanying sauces were also great. I also really enjoyed the palak oaneer and chicken tikka masala. I opted for roti instead of naan but it was not what I was expecting... it was a baked flat round bread where I was expecting a fried flakey flat bread). There are about a dozen tables inside if you want to enjoy your meal there. There is also a shared outdoor dining patio. read more

The BEST mango lassi I've ever had so far. It's extremely rich and thick! I can't exactly remember my order, but the lady working the counter was polite. To my memory, the food tasted like most other Indian restaurants. The interior is clean, and there's plenty of seating outside and plenty of other food options. read more

Loved this spot! Food came out so quick, warm, and fresh. Staff was so sweet- he gave me an extra side of potatoes free of charge when I asked what it was. I got the chicken tiki masala and spinach side. Garlic nan was crazy delicious and had to wait less than 5 minutes for them to warm it up. Everything I got was delicious and I would definitely come again. Super clean space and lots of seating around. read more

Great service Durpin was really helpful the food was really good and He was really nice and this is overall a really great resturant to take your family and friend Will come back this place is awesome read more

This place is a hidden gem. We get takeout here once a week. Authentic Indian flavors and spices. Any of the chicken dishes are amazing, we've tried them all. Usually get the 2 item combo for $15, and there's enough leftover for lunch the next day. The naan is made to order and HUGE and delicious. Employees are always friendly and welcoming. Plenty of seats inside but we usually sit outside bc it's Cali. Just go! read more

Been coming here every month or 2 for the past year and every time I am super happy with the quality and taste of the food. Try the fresh naan bread and mango lassi. They also pour extra sauce over your rice which is a nice touch. Friendly service too! read more

Haven't been here in a long time but glad to know it's still around. Food: 4/5 - flavors and taste are very good. Garlic naan is still awesome. Skimpy on the proteins. Only 4 small pieces of chicken with my chicken curry. They've kept up with the furniture so the place still looks new. It's clean and well maintained. read more

So impressed with flavor and freshness! Ordered DoorDash for a family of five and there was not a single dish we did not like..

Good fast food, fast Indian food. I have tried the chicken tikka and tikka masala. Both very good. Not much for decor, but like I said, it's fast food. Service is good, since you just go up to the counter and order, then wait for the naan. read more

I'm from England where we love Indian food and eat a lot of it. I ordered the chicken tikka and butter chicken entrees. Delicious, thick, spicy gravy and generous portions of quality chicken. Comes with rice. We added a large garlic naan. All washed down with a large Taj Mahal beer. All for $50. And nice to eat outside in the warm evening. We're new to the neighborhood and will definitely be back. read more

Natraj's Tandoori - Chicken Tikka Masala Butter Chicken - Indian Near Me - Irvine, California

Natraj's Tandoori is a fast casual restaurant, so you order and pay at the counter. Their combo meal for $13.99, with your choice of two entrees from the steam table, rice and freshly made naan (garlic naan is .69 upcharge). You can choose from eight different items, including chicken tikka kebab and dal. The chicken tikka masala seems like it's the most popular and is a reliable choice. On the veg side, I like the saag paneer and the baingan bharta. It's more food that I can possibly finish, and I wind up saving most of my naan for later. You can place an order online, though I've just stuck to ordering the combo at the counter since it's usually not too busy. They have space indoors and out on the patio to enjoy your meal. Plenty of parking in the lot. read more

A well above average Indian establishment that definitely satisfies the craving for Indian food. I love vindaloo and theirs is pretty good, but truthfully I end up getting their combo meal with rice and garlic naan (tends to be a better value). I usually request something spicy and they never fail to deliver! Staff are courteous when I come to pick up my menu and take home. read more

I got food poisoning after eating their food and later got the flu. It amazing how bad the food quality is, while still tasting pretty good. read more

We come here often and I know this place well. Got a take out meal. The issue I have is it's not consistent and today is a good example. Got a 2 item meal and literally 4 pieces of chicken in a double order of chicken tikka masala. read more

loved my food! came here on a Friday night for TOGO and it was very nice and clean inside! ordered the combo plate with chicken tikka masala & roasted eggplant with garlic naan. service was quick and helpful, would come again! read more

For many years this has been my favorite Indian food location. They somehow managed to bring a perfect balance in "ready to eat", quality and prices. Unfortunately COVID seems to have affected their standards and it's begining to go down hill. Food was barely warm and rice was stale. Nan was made fresh and still tasty though. They should shrink the menu down and just focus on a select number of ready to eat dishes. Make those perfect and keep them hot. And for the love of god please just make fresh rice! It's so cheap!

Pathetic Customer Service and Food Quality. No description or support to accommodate the placed order items

Came here on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. The area was quiet and I was craving Indian Food, so we decided to try this out. What a great and delicious surprise!! We ordered: Chicken Tikka Masala Aloo Gobi Garlic Naan Some places make their tikka masala too sweet so I was pleased that this was not. We asked for "medium" spice and we were not disappointed. It was perfectly spiced, similar to medium jalapeños, which we enjoy. Order less spicy if needed. The Aloo Gobi had great seasoning. I have had this in more of a curry sauce in the past, but this was not like that but I may have enjoyed this even more. It had good flavors, a little texture, and of course similar "medium" spice level for us. Rice was soft and delicious. We were surprised with the garlic Naan. Not only was it delicious, but plenty good size to share. It was fresh, crispy, warm, and a perfect compliment to our dishes. I decided to try the mango lassi for the first time. Lassi is a yogurt based drink popular in parts of India. I have never tried it, but it looked fresh and I wanted to try something new. Oh yeah!! That was good. Great mango taste, slight yogurt flavor, and a perfect cooling to the spicy Indian Dishes. I will be getting this more often. Overall, I would totally recommend and will be back again. They offer an a la carte menu and a combo deal menu The food was delicious, staff was friendly, service was good, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. Couldn't ask for more. The a la carte portions are good for 3-4 people. read more

Horrible customer service. I was greeted with a dirty look by the Indian lady that serves the food. She splashed the chicken curry all over the edges of the food container causing it to get all over the plastic bag. Then she stormed off into the back after rolling her eyes at me. Chicken tasted old/gamey and the curry wasn't even spicy. The garlic naan was ok. Will not return here. Waste of money. read more

The food was delicious along with the ambiance. I will be returning. The customer service was also excellent. I recommend this restaurant. read more

I've always liked coming to Natraj! Always consistent and flavors are on point. For a while, the hours were wrong and I would come at night and they would be closed. They finally fixed that on Google, so I'm happy about that. I typically always order the Chicken Tikka Masala and the Chicken Tikka with Garlic Naan! Good value for the amount of protein you get. read more

I ordered the Aloo Gobi, vegetarian samosas and garlic naan. The aloo gobi was flavored well and the cauliflower and potatoes were cooked perfectly. I'm used to Aloo gobi being in more of a sauce. The aloo gobi was a bit dry. The samosas are kept in a warmer and not freshly made. The dough of the samosas was a bit chewy and they were only half filled. The garlic naan was made fresh. Unfortunately, the naan was dry, a little chewy and light on the garlic. Some butter would have been nice. Some more garlic also would have been nice. read more

This place is pretty much an Indian Panda Express! Right when you walk in there's ready to serve food for you waiting behind glass just like Panda Express or other Chinese fast food spots. However, they also have a menu for made-to-order food in the back. In this trip, I was able to try their chicken tikka masala, chicken curry, spinach paneer, tikka masala, and their mango lassi! Their chicken here was soft and cooked perfectly! I did like the chicken Tikka masala better than the chicken curry, but the chicken curry was still pretty good! This meal came with garlic naan and the tikka masala sauce paired very well with it. The saag paneer was a creamy spinach type dish that was very soft and flavorful! If you had it alone, it might be actually so soft you could swallow it just like that. Picking some up and eating it with the naan was also very good! The mango lassi I had here was exactly what I had been looking for. It checked all my boxes for a strong mango flavor, thick creamy texture, and perfect sweetness. I'd definitely be coming back for more! read more

My husband and I adore Natraj's Tandoori! The Chicken Tikki Masala is lovely, as is the Saag Paneer. The Saag Paneer inhabits my dreams. It is wonderful. I have tried the Baingain Bhata and absolutely loved it! The garlic naan is wonderful. Do try it! read more

No frills great little spot for a quick Indian food. The location is always very clean and service is good. I wish they brought back the three item combo. read more

The service & respectfulness of this Natraj Tandoori is a world of difference from the Foothill Ranch branch. These people were helpful and had good recommendations for my mom who's a newbie to Indian food. It was so tasty. The atmosphere was both walk in but mostly take-out read more

I had a great experience here from the customer service to the nice space and the taste of the food. I needed to take a work meeting and I wanted to eat lunch so I sat at the corner table closest to the exit, plugged my computer in and enjoyed my food. The prices are fair and the size of the naan is amazingly huge! I had the chicken tikka masala as well as the palak paneer and both entrées were among the best I've ever had. The employee was fantastic and even asked me if I wanted extra sauce on my rice which not all places do. I will definitely return! read more

Natraj has always been a consistent food experience at their various locations. We tried takeout at this location and it was the first time I had Natraj's Malai Kofta. It is my new favorite. It was flavorful and the curry paired perfectly with the rice. The paneer tikka masala had plenty of paneer and also did not disappoint. They packed the food very well for take-out too! read more

Tasty food! Great place, service good. Nice place to grab a quick bite. Love the garlic naan! Tikka massla and yellow rice is generous portion and i usually save dome for the next day.. yummmmmy! My hubby has the chicken tikka(no sauce). Can't go wrong with tasty Indian food! We always lick the plate clean! U can let them know 'mild' so it won't b too spicy for you. U can either get the ready made one they made for daily service or call it in and they eill make it fresh for u... either is good depending if u r in a rush or not! read more

Just got food from this location. Ordered food at around 8:35pm and sat down inside to eat. One of the employees came up to us at 8:42 after we had started eating and said that we need to leave in five minutes because he needs to clean the dining room (wasn't really nice about it either). Hours on the door and here on Yelp clearly state that the restaurant closes at 10pm. We mentioned that they don't close for a while and he said he still needed to clean and told us to leave again. We left to go eat right outside on the patio and watched the employees sitting in the dining room and eating on their breaks until after 9pm (nobody had cleaned the dining room yet). Did not appreciate getting kicked out when they said they were going to clean but actually didn't. If it had been a much colder night, it would have been very uncomfortable to eat on the patio. We've been coming here for years and the food was really good but I'm disappointed by the service, it seems to have gone downhill. read more

Food is good but not a lot of variety. I also get the feeling that I am not welcome as I walk in there, since nobody greets or says hello. It also feels like I am rushed by the employees. read more

I've come here for years but the last 4-5 times Ive come the girl that serves the food and guy have been so rude! I don't understand why they give a lot of customers attitude. Especially the girl, she talks over you and is rude and gets upset if they make a mistake and try to fight you back for complaining. I DO NOT recommend this place ever. I come and spend my money here and they happily charge it but can't provide the service. they have no business being in customer service. honestly just leave Irvine at this point, our community doesn't deserve this trash service. and stop treating people like shit just cuz you have a bad life. read more

damn I was a harsh critic. love to get the chicken tikka masala and garlic naan, lots of big pieces of breast meat now. could give a little more rice with the large order of CTM, but you get enough carbs from the naan. love it. read more
