8 Best Indian Restaurants in Irvine

“I was having lunch at Maast Indian and I ordered a lamb curry which came with a bed of rice. I also ordered some breaded cauliflower that I’ll dig into. I like cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. Whenever they’re on the menu, it’s an easy pick for me. But the food smells good. Will start to dig in. Thanks a lot“

“Best Indian restaurant for delicious Indian food in Orange County.“

“Buffet was too delicious! I have gone to multiple buffet outlets but this one was authentic Indian food! Every single dish from mutton, bhendi, daal, chicken , biryani tasted exactly how it should be! At the cost of 20$pp our full family had a very good Sunday lunch!“

“I would strongly disagree with any negative reviews here - we catered from Vishnu Catering for our large Indian wedding the entire weekend and it was the best food we and many of our guests have ever had at a wedding! Ram was kind, helpful, professional, and incredibly reliable as a vendor - we never had to worry about anything going wrong with catering and he was easily one of our favorite and best vendors of the whole process. The food and drink was phenomenal across all events. We are still getting comments from guests, Indian and non-Indian, about how amazing the food was. We are so grateful we got to work with Ram and his team and we would cater again for any event big or small in a heartbeat!“

“A decent place for some good food. The mysore masala dosa was good, had great flavor, and taste. The chutneys that cane with it were kinda bland. The malai kofta was great, creamy and flavorful. The pulka rotis were good too. Would like to explore their indo-chinese menu which looked promising.“

“The staff at this establishment were incredibly friendly and welcoming. When picking up our online order, we were greeted by a gentleman with exuberant energy that had a short but immediate impact. Customer service like this goes a really long way, 5 stars! Plus our tikka masala and mango lassis were delicious!“

“Natraj’s is our FAVORITE place to eat in SoCal!“

“So delicious! Where else can you get vegan tikka masala, butter tofu, saag tofu.. tell me, I wanna know! So hard to find. So pleased they offer so many vegan options beyond the normal chana, dal, bhindi, aloo we usually get. I missed having a creamy, rich tikka! The tofu butter masala was my favorite (at least I think I was that one - the darker orange one). Closest to a tikka one might have had before going vegan. Absolutely loved it. Called and confirmed everything on the "Indian Vegan Cafe" menu is 100% vegan. I bet you can also just go to Southern Spice and sit down and order it. I'll have to try someday. I did pickup after placing a GrubHub order - be warned, it seemed to take longer than the non vegan orders, wasn't ready quite when the app said it was. Not really a "ghost kitchen"... really just Southern Spice's vegan menu but separated into a different name for ordering. TLDR - highly recommend, especially if you're craving more creamy (but vegan!) Indian curries! Updated from previous review on 2023-06-08“
