The folks at Natraj are just the best. ❤️ Not only are there many (very clearly marked) vegan options on the menu, their customer service is just 🤌. They remember me every time I come in, and I feel very well looked after. Deserving of 5 stars.

The Butter Chicken, rice and thaan was extremely delicious. My Son had mentioned the meal and how it tasted on the left coast. He said I would love it and having it delivered, was a perfect meal. Enough for 2 to 3 people. Highly recommend this meal. The butter chicken had so many flavors which was indescribable. Thank you for the perfect meal. Loved it!!! If you have never tried Indian food or on the fence, try this meal for you won't be discouraged.
