Natraj's Tandoori — Restaurant in Irvine

Looking for BOMB Indian food?! Then look no further! Natraj’s seriously blows all of the competitors out of the park with their high quality food.

I came here originally because I was craving some chicken tikka masala. It’s hard to find food that packs serious value with quantity. While you can order entrees at much higher rates, they do have combo options you can take advantage of with the entrees that are already ready to serve and eat.

Upon entry, I was immediately greeted and offered samples for just about everything I wanted to try. I knew what I wanted coming into it, but appreciated their effort in letting me try so many others. I settled on a 1-item combo which is only $9.99 and comes with rice and naan. You can also get garlic naan for only $0.69! Definitely recommend this as I regretted not doing so.

The food is placed in a biodegradable container and plastic wrapped to avoid any spills during its ride home with you. I seriously appreciated that! I also appreciated that they offered to have sauce on my rice because I loooooooove the tikka masala sauce!

When I got home, I inhaled the whole thing. I felt so bad that I couldn’t have taken a better shot of the combo meal because it just smelled so good that I did not want to waste any time. And that naan I was telling you about? DELICIOUS and such a huge portion!

Seriously... what are you waiting for?! If you’re a fan of Indian food then definitely try this place out. I’m still full from eating the combo plate but I already cannot wait to come...

If anyone leaves a positive 5 star review for this dump it's a guarantee they are friends of the owner operator or being paid. Back in 2016 I decided to take my family to dine in this place it was the worst experience of our India dine out history! I vowed to never go back and I meant it. Fast forward 2020 and we had a taste for indian food so I sent my husband to find us a place for the cuisine.. Long story short $100.00 later he returned with BURNT non butter naan, flavorless palaak paneer & paneer tikka masala.. The veg rice was terrible and trust me I've had the best of the best! Unfortunately it was in Oregon.. Otherwise I'd have just gone to a restaurant that I know would've been satisfying. Ive tried to reach out to customer service or management but of course no one answers. I will never recommend this dump to anyone not even the homeless! Any place is...

It's fast food, yet it's pretty darn good -- amazingly good, actually, and there's an excellent selection, too [for a fast food place]. Generous portions for a fast food price! For the best Indian food in the area [in this White Guy's opinion], go to the India Cook House [they have a great lunch buffet, too] but if you want it fast, for a little less money, you can't beat Natraj's Tandoori! Friendly staff, too [which can't always be said for the India Cook House ~ excellent food, grumpy staff ;) ] BTW: you can, also, get it to go at the India Cook house, and during the lunch buffet you get to select anything from the buffet [as much as will fit in the Styrofoam container they give you], BUT, they close at 2:30PM and don't open for dinner until 5PM -- Natraj's Tandoori is open...
