The food was amazing, the service was kind of lousy. I ordered the buffet, which came with a drink and naan, neither of which ever showed up. Eventually I asked about it, at which point my lassi (which was somewhat small, but fantastic) showed up, but not the naan. There was enough food at the buffet that I didnt really feel like I was missing out, but still, the naan never did come. They didnt bring the appetizer my starving mom bought because she was starving until the rest of the food she ordered, either. Still, the quality - and quantity - of the buffet totally made up for any complaints, as far as I was concerned. It was fresh, it was full of choices, some of them even had a little bit of kick to them (rare, in Indian buffets). Im glad I finally found a quality Indian place in LB; if parking werent a madhouse in that whole area, Id probably be back constantly, naan or not. Only place Ive ever seen sweet naan, too! It was really neat!

the food is not at all good . I went with my girl friend and she eats chicken so I oder chicken tikka Masala 15.95 and its was not even look like chicken tikka Masala and my girl frnd was trying to eat it was so hard and the grave was so bad like water and than for me I oder paneer Masala 12.95 I think they put same gravy for her chicken and my peers and it tasted so nasty . the glass for water when I was drinking it tasted like so nasty and dirty. I will never recommend this place to anyone to go there and waste ur money I wasted 30 dollars . not recommended to anyone . they were make ing American and Mexican people fools by offering this food as Indian but I m Indian and I knw how Indian food should taste like and when I told the owner that food is not good he said this is the best food we can make . think urbself u r smart and make ur decision

I got a to-go order of lamb biryani. First of all, what they cooked was not a lamb biryani. It was probably lamb curry mixed with white rice. Which is a horrible way to make it and call it biryani. Its very disappointing. Anyhow, I bring the food home driving for 10 minutes and it turned out to be so spicy that I couldnt even eat a spoon. I drove back to get a new order with medium spicy and this time the meat and also the vegetables(onions) were not even cooked right. I hate to post bad reviews. But it is necessary to improve the quality of living in a community. Funny thing was, I told specifically not super spicy and they made it spicy and second time I told them to make sure its cooked right and it wasnt. COMMUNICATION?!???!! Or PURE CARELESSNESS?!!?!

After indulging in lots of fancy ice cream, it was time to eat. I was really craving Indian food and remembered there was a great Indian food place right up the street and easily within walking distance from where we were at. Our short one mile walk helped burn off some of the ice cream and we were ready to indulge. Natrajs has a great AYCE buffet for about $10-$11. Owners were friendly and prompt with the garlic naans and waters. They have all the usuals - chicken tikka masala, chicken curry, dals, desserts, rice, etc. I got two platefuls of everything and then I was stuffed and ready for a nap. Place is tiny and a great addition to the Belmont Shore area. Also, great area to walk around and burn off whatever you just ate which is exactly what we did.

Man, their food is so good! The Bhindi Masala and Tikka Masala are really good. The owners and employees (who I think are related to the owners) are all extremely nice. The samosas are good too. You could really tell the owners care about their product and customers. They always come to our table and make sure we are all happy. The only downside is the delivery. I tried ordering for delivery a few weeks ago using LA Bite and it required a minimum of $45. Wont be going that route at all, and probably going to limit how often I order their food unfortunately. Overall, everything here, including the lunch buffet is delicious.

The owners wife, also one of the servers, was horribly rude. When my girlfriend was not ready to order when the woman appeared at our table, she left in a huff, and avoided our table for the next 30 minutes! Food was decent but slow to arrive (perhaps still being taught a lesson from the waitress?) but crowded conditions and nearly impossible parking made us decide Kamal Palace, in the marina, was our destination thereafter. The people THERE are quite friendly, and the food is always good.

Food is amazinggggg!!! Buffet style, so you eat what you like which is pretty much everything. Vegetarians will also find this place to offer a great experience. They change the dessert menu from day to day, I prefer the hot gulob jamun and sweet rice version, but theyre both soooo good. The Long Beach location has the best Indian food out of any Ive experienced... Outside patio seating right on 2nd street makes for a great atmosphere. 3 thumbs up!!!lol

This is worst Indian cuisine I have ever been to. Its so small space and feel suffocated. Filled with smokey smell inside and it was not appealing at all. The food was like trash. I ordered vegetarian food and they brought two plates full of meat sizzler I dont know what the hell it was but it was stinky. I felt like throwing up right there... because I am 100 %vegetarian. Dont go there if you are vegetarian.

Swadisht Bhojan Punabi Style- Translation- Tasty Food Punjabi Style. Dobara aayenge- Will come again. Sabse badhiya bhojanalya Los angeles shehar ka- Best restaurant of Los Angele area. We drove from Los Angeles to Long Beach to eat at this restaurant and it was worth the drive. Sardar Ji was the best host ever. Thank you. We are back in Texas now and miss their food.

Had their lunch buffet and everything was delicious! Nothing was too spicy for the 8 and 3 year olds, but everything was full of complex flavors. The staff was all super friendly, and the restaurant itself was clean and homey feeling. Very comfortable! I only wish there were a few more choices on the buffet because everything was so good Id love to try more!

Not so good, we came all the way from Houston to L.A and was very hard to find an Indian restuarant, but finally found this. The food was taste old and sweet instead of spicy. The waiter boy (Robin) was very friendly and the lady (maybe the owner) was very unfriendly and attitude lady, never visit there we decided. Totally unsatisfied-

They have a decent all you can eat lunch special. The food is good but there is not a lot of options to choose from. The service is good and the decor is nice, but there just wasnt enough options for me. The lunch special has about 8 different foods to choose from and a salad bar. Its cool if youre really into Indian.
