Avis sur Active Culture Ladera Ranch
the food was great, the place was super clean and Ruby was so nice to us! Best Indian food in orange county.
Food was good. Service was good as well, although we were the only ones in the restaurant. They even gave us a little extra rice to go so we had a complete second meal when I took the extra food home.
Family owned Indian cuisine restaurant near laguna beach, I was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional service and ambiance, prompting me to disregard any negative reviews and fully immerse myself in the experience, first time trying it and I give it a 10/10. Get the garlic nan 😁
Very good authentic India food in Laguna. We did not expected this, we searched for Indian good near by and google provided this. It came out to be very good choice. Owners were very friendly. If you are a tourist and looking for Indian food, must visit this place.
I had long wished to dine here and at last triumphantly passed through Natraj's doors. The wait was QUITE worth it. The service was attentive, the server polite and affable and even recommended certain dishes. The naan was a crispy delight, the onion bhaji was a triumph, the portions generous, and the chicken tandoori was a revelation in flavour and juiciness, the portions ever bountiful. Highly recommended.

Easily the best Indian food around. Excellent service. Chicken tikka masala is a must get. I’ve been going for years and never get tired of eating their food.
We’ve been coming here for 20 years! The food is always excellent and the staff are wonderful.
Love this place! Phenomenal food and service! Its is a family-owned gem so you know their food is authentic and made with love from scratch! They put their heart and soul in their food and service. Plus, they have gluten-free and vegan options! They're very open to adjusting your meal according to your spice preference! 10/10! I recommend the Dal Makhni, Garlic Naan, and Paneer Tikka Masala!
Absolutely phenomenal experience! The service was amazing. Everyone was so warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The hospitality made me feel right at home, and the food… wow. Every bite felt like I was back in India. It was full of authentic flavor, aroma, and love. Natraj Indian Cuisine is easily one of the best Indian restaurants around. Highly recommend to anyone craving real Indian food and great vibes!
I love their chicken tiki masala. Good price and huge portion! I honestly don’t understand why they only have 3.7 starts. I think this place deserves at least 4.0 or more.
My husband and I grabbed take out since it was raining. The staff were so nice! They offered for me to go out the back door (closer to my car) and they brought everything out to my car for me as well. We were very impressed.
It's a very relaxing spot for locals, and the service is wonderful. The menu has so many wonderful options. The chicken tikka and shrimp vindaloo are my two favorites.

Best authentic Indian food in Laguna. For lunch we had the lamb curry, lamb vindaloo, and the chicken coconut curry. All three were delicious with the garlic naan. I would highly recommend all three of those dishes. Came with plenty of basmati rice as well.
Excellent place to enjoy dinner & some times lunch.OWNERS ARE VERY HOSPITABLE
Delicious food! We got the chicken tikki Marsala and the kahari chicken. My Indian tea was chai. 😋

Chicken briyani was a kid pleaser and the most flavorful dish that we ordered. The naan was amazing. Everything else was slightly lacking in the flavor department. Not bad- just could've been a little better, lacking luster. That being said, half the personal plates and silverware brought to the table were dirty. Old Food was crusted all over several of the plates on the bottoms and several of the forks had old food stuck to them. We ordered mild expecting it to be "white people spicy " and it had no heat but beyond the lack of heat it was all just very plain and lacking vibrancy. The gal that was our waitress was very nice. However, For as long as they've been at this location, I feel they could do way better.

Despite the rating we wanted to give this place a benefit of the doubt. Not the greatest biriyani. The biriyani tasted like it wasn’t fully cooked and masala’s weren’t blended properly because you can smell the strong turmeric. None of the dishes had right spice level either. Everything tasted very flat. They have lot of room to make improvements. But the server was pretty nice. Good luck!

I ordered the shrimp Biriyani and was extremely disappointed. It was bland, and only had shrimp and rice in it. I thought it would come with vegetables and seasoned. I am not sure if this is because most Americans don’t know what Indian food is suppose to taste like so this cook their food this way, but please start cooking real Indian food. This is what most people pay for! Not a water downed American version of Indian food. You can do better, I know it. I also, I ordered buttery nan, and it came unbuttered.
I called them to ask availability of a food item. Whoever had picked , asked , what did you say? I told, do you have xyz… next , he slammed the phone. I should have seen their rating before calling , which is very low for obvious reasons .. If that’s the attitude, for me they stand Negative.
Food is worse Pneer tikka is not cooked properly Tandoori chicken have no flavor too much red color in it
DO NOT TRY.. I usually don’t write down good or bad reviews.. but this place deserves all the bad reviews they can.. food no taste.. I had to add lot of salt and mix with pickle to just make it eatable because I was hungry.. no service.. whole time no water .. no lights.. I get it there is natural light coming in but still .. place looks dead.. one lady sitting at end of the room on phone with headphones on.. I had to ask her for anything I need.. come on .. do better.. just like your food is priced in with place it’s located at then have courtesy to provide quality and service.. don’t act like people are doing u favor by coming to your restaurant…. Never coming back here again .. advice to non Indian eaters.. this is the worst Indian restaurant u ever go to..
