Natraj Indian Bistro & Bar — Restaurant in Laguna Hills

My recent visit to Natraj Indian Bistro & Bar was an absolute treat, a truly memorable experience from start to finish. The moment I stepped in, I was greeted by a cozy ambiance that set the perfect tone for an evening of delicious Indian cuisine.

I kicked things off with a non-vegetarian appetizer, and it was outstanding. The green sauce offered a delightful kick, spicy without being overwhelming, while the black sauce provided a unique balance of sweetness and heat. Every bite was bursting with flavor, showcasing the quality of the ingredients. I also tried the Taj Mahal beer, which was good, though a tad on the sweeter side for my preference.

A highlight for me was the Butter Chicken and Tandoori Chicken – both were incredibly rich, perfectly cooked, and incredibly flavorful. The buffet style offers a great range, with different spice levels to suit all palates, and the Chicken Masala was particularly noteworthy. Don't miss the refreshing mango yogurt drink!

What truly elevated the experience was the exceptional service. The staff, especially Mr. Ranjan, were incredibly attentive and friendly. Their willingness to explain dishes, particularly for someone less familiar with Indian cuisine, was genuinely appreciated. The team's hospitality made me feel welcomed and well-cared for.

Natraj Indian Bistro & Bar delivers on all fronts: fantastic food, a welcoming atmosphere, and top-notch service. I'm already looking forward to my next visit and highly recommend it to anyone craving authentic and delicious...

DO NOT CATER/DINE WITH NATRAJ. They are dishonest and only care about getting your money. We were looking for a vendor to cater for our wedding. In the final stages of signing the contract we discovered that they had signed another client on our requested date without giving us any notice. We drove all the way from San Diego for the tasting, emailed back and forth to iron out final details, and were ready to sign when they removed the contract without letting us know. Food was OK, but not the best Indian food in the area. The owner acted nice on the surface but dismissed any inquiries we had, telling us to email his wife instead. Emails from the owner's wife, Lisa, were unprofessional. She did not directly answer our questions/concerns and repeatedly requested info that had been previously given. No attention to detail and definitely not polite or friendly. We understand that this is a business but with all the back and forth daily communication for over a month's duration concerning the details of our wedding, a simple notice that another party was competing for the date should have been communicated. Even at the point of canceling our contract, we had to ask Natraj what happened. They failed to notify us. Overall we had a terrible experience. We recommend taking your...

I visited almost 50+ countries for my business trip and wherever I go I always try our Indian food with homely feel. Here I can tell you.

We ordered fish tikka this is fine. 7/10

We ordered chicken tikka masala & dhal makhni the worst one they given with too much salt for both item especially the chicken gravy . After we complain they told will replace. But the same dish with some butter they returned again. Can’t eat single piece. -0/10

Without eating we asked to pack them. They said we can’t pack and they given small container to our table with some poly bags to pack the items with ourself. Anyway we packed them.

While we pack ourself they given bill and pushed us to pay them quickly. Even we are not started to pack fully. Even 5 star hotels pack with their kitchen and bring us.

Very stupid people and worst behaviour to showing their attitude to our Indian peoples.

See the restaurant people don’t ready to accept any small complaints.

I prefer if you really want to go to taste some Indian food 100% don’t go this kind of restaurant. They are running money motive only.

Over all 0% quality. 0% service. In my experience from more than 50+ countries I never faced such kind of...
