"Looking for BOMB Indian food?! Then look no further! Natraj?s seriously blows all of the competitors out of the park with their high quality food. I came here originally because I was craving some chicken tikka masala. It?s hard to find food that packs serious value with quantity. While you can order entrees at much higher rates, they do have combo options you can take advantage of with the entrees that are already ready to serve and eat. Upon entry, I was immediately greeted and offered samples for just about everything I wanted to try. I knew what I wanted coming into it, but appreciated their effort in letting me try so many others. I settled on a 1-item combo which is only $9.99 and comes with rice and naan. You can also get garlic naan for only $0.69! Definitely recommend this as I regretted not doing so. The food is placed in a biodegradable container and plastic wrapped to avoid any spills during its ride home with you. I seriously appreciated that! I also appreciated that they offered to have sauce on my rice because I loooooooove the tikka masala sauce! When I got home, I inhaled the whole thing. I felt so bad that I couldn?t have taken a better shot of the combo meal because it just smelled so good that I did not want to waste any time. And that naan I was telling you about? DELICIOUS and such a huge portion! Seriously... what are you waiting for?! If you?re a fan of Indian food then definitely try this place out. I?m still full from eating the combo plate but I already cannot wait to come back for more!"

"This review is strictly on the service as the food has remained consistently good. I've also taken as much time as possible to allow for as an objective experience as possible. When the owners/staff are speaking animatedly and with more energy with other Indian patrons who are sitting at the bar--whether or not they are family friends, etc, but go completely silent when they serve, that's a red flag. I was in the mood for Indian food and was in the area running errands, so I decided to stop by. I didn't really think much of the interaction initially when I walked in and was seated, but this question is directed mainly at the man and woman whom I've seen the last two times I've been here. Is there a reason for the difference in demeanor? There was another family who came in and were seated for dinner shortly before I left, and I noticed they were treated the same way--with complete silence. I'd consider this a nuance of this place specifically since I've been to Indian restaurants in Diamond Bar, Ontario, and Pomona, and there are distinctly more interactive. I wouldn't consider this a nuance of introversion based on what I've seen or heard. I'm not looking to have a heart-to-heart conversation but at least have a basic level of interaction like a thank you or welcome. I thanked the man each time my water was refilled, and I also said thank you when leaving. NO REPLY at any point, and this is not an exaggeration or embellishment of the experience. This has been consistent. If you're going to order for takeout, you're fine. If you're good with silence, you're fine too. I'll stick with Curryland in Pomona. That's a rougher part of Pomona in a small and dense parking lot. The food there is just as good, and least there's an inkling of customer service. I'm done with this place."
