Natraj's Indian Bistro

I stopped visiting this restaurant after they discontinued their lunch buffet. I recently ordered some food to go, and it didn't meet my expectations. One of the main reasons we enjoyed the lunch buffet was to try different dishes and see what was good and what wasn't. We also used to dine there for dinner, but the lunch specials just don't compare. Additionally, the price increases for the Laguna Hills lunch buffet have become excessive—especially post-COVID—and the long drive isn't worth it anymore. This restaurant seems to have lost its charm, and I hope they can make a comeback and adjust their menu prices to be more reasonable.

I placed a large order and they forgot one of my entrees. When I called to inform them and request a credit, they offered to include it in my next order instead. I mentioned that this was the second time this has happened, so I decided not to order from them again. I still haven't received my credit.

I visited this restaurant for lunch, hoping to enjoy their lunch buffet, but I was disappointed to find out that they haven't reinstated it since the pandemic. Instead, they have a $20 lunch special featuring a variety of their popular dishes, which turned out to be really delicious and satisfying! During my visit, the place wasn't very crowded, so the service was quick and friendly. The dining area is quite spacious, and they also have a nice patio. I will definitely return!
