Indian, Natraj Tandoori, Irvine

The food at Natraj's Tandoori is excellent. I have been a regular customer since it opened (100s of visits) and visit at least once a week, often with my whole family and/or friends. The centerpiece is the steam table offerings available as one, two, or three entrees plus rice, naan, and choice of raita or (a very small) salad. The chicken tikka, chicken tikka massala, and lamb curry are excellent and always available. The naan is usually hot and fresh. It took some months after opening, but they have the consistency of the raita down to a science. As an added plus, they are the only restaurant in the whole food court that serves Coca Cola. They also serve a variety of cooked to order items, but I've never made it past the steam table!

The food at Natraj Tandoori is average. I have had better tasting Indian food before. They have very poor customer service. I wasn't even halfway through with my food when I found a curly hair in my eggplant dish. (I cannot remember what kind of dish it was) I asked the server if I could exchange it and he refused. He told me that I would have to pay for another entree to get another one.
