We have been on the lookout for authentic Indian cuisine in Orange County and finally found one. We are from India and we found the food at other famous Indian places very different from what we get in India, but Natraj bistro keeps it authentic. They ask about your preferences and how spicy you want your food to be, so it should suit everyone’s palate. Their service is also excellent and the staff is very friendly. I highly recommend their laccha paratha!

For any fans who crave Authentic, Delicious, well prepared North and Central Food, which is the most popular in the USA….Natraj is a must! Tried several Indian restaurants in over 15 states and this is literally worth 5 stars…..exceptional service and beautiful ambience in desirable and peaceful Rancho Santa Margarita Orange County makes it a total winner….must visit on my list once a month!

Me and my husband had been here for lunch. The food was tasty and fresh the ambience was quite because it was just us. It seems a bit odd as the food cost bit higher to eat in the restaurant then order at home. Never mind nect time will get it delivered .

Initially was pulled in because I thought they had a buffet but Covid must have changed their menu. Instead, I got the lunch platter and was delighted at the size of naan bread and paneer tikka masala and saag paneer. The naan was exceptional. I will definitely be back.

The lunch buffet is great deal, $16.99 on Sundays with champagne and $11.99 on weekdays. The food is great, with lots of variety catering to vegetarians and meat eaters alike. They also have a nice patio to sit out on and watch the neighborhood go by.

Ok there is so much to say, where do I start? The man and I had the garlic naan bread, it’s amazing, and we had the Lamb Tikka Kebab, Karachi Chicken and Lamb Biryani all exceptionally good. You won’t be disappointed.
