Perfect timing; after I sat down with my lunch a large group entered the restaurant... - "I'm good, I'm very good."
Mint & Pickled Chutney
Tandoori Chicken - Very moist & delicious. Often I find the tandoori chicken to be more on the dry side. This was very good!
Buffet chaffing pans - For the $$; great value! A good way to try a little bit of everything, especially if you're not familiar w/the menu.
Goan Fish Curry
Eggplant dish - I enjoy a good eggplant dish; very good.

When I first moved here, this was one of my first India buffets. Lunch buffet was $11. It's a little more $$ today but still a great value.

Our family of nine had the brunch buffet here today.Food was good. Service was great. The dining room is large and well ventilated. Loved it.Lentil soup was watery and not much veggies do I didn't try it.Tikka masala was good. I mixed its sauce with some tamarind sauce for naan dipping and it was good. The lamb curry was good and just a bit gamy only.Only I had never seen before at other Indian buffet is the egg curry. Must be their own creation. But that was good.I never care for chicken tandoori so didn't try that.The mushrooms with cashews was good.We all enjoyed the buffet.The employees also were quick to pick up dirty plates so that was great. Owner and employees kept on checking on us and made sure we had everything we needed.Note: Sunday buffet is $25.99 but it comes with either champagne or one beverage of your choice.

The food was very good, once again and consistently is. But I do like coming here on Sunday when they have lamb - if they still do that not sure. Lighting ambience was on queue. It was a little high strung today here today, in my opinion. We had the buffet, and as I was waiting for an item that they said would be out several minutes prior, - Then the gentleman or waiter/ who sets the tables, just took another item from the selection and dumped it in the other sauce and said "Here it's the same thing."As I was getting food from the buffet, (I'm not sure he understood autistic spectrum clients very well, because...) he was correcting her as if she's doing something intentional. I'm just gonna leave my feedback with this closing thought.

The food is good solid Indian cuisine at the lunch time buffet. Most of it is mild to moderately spicy but they do have tasty non-spicy veggie dishes. At lunch , you get a choice of free champagne or a mango slushy. The service is excellent & the ambience is (mostly) quiet & calm.

Pretty good Indian food! Love that they have a mixed appetizer plate where you can get samosas, pakora, and a paneer appetizer. Tried the chicken tikka and the garlic naan which were all delicious.

Our family really enjoys coming here for special occasions, especially Sunday champagne brunch. The food is really great, especially for a buffet and caters towards both vegetarians and meat eaters. There is a middle table has different entrees each time we come. The fam also really enjoys that the champagne keeps flowing :) Service can be hit or miss depending on how busy they are so recommend getting there early.

Another Sunday brunch at Natraj- always amazing food and amazing service. I'm walking distance to this location so I walk here for Sunday champagne brunch. It is a large restaurant so I've never had to wait to get in for lunch. The wait staff is always kind, friendly, and keeps the champagne flowing. I like to try new things when I come for the buffet. This time the new thing I tried was a spiced carrot salad that was a side dish. It was spicy but SO GOOD! I always get a samosa, some saag paneer and some chicken tikka masala. I love the dessert that is drenched in rose sugar water. The naan is excellent. I always leave full, happy and walking off the champagne. There are all walks of life for Sunday lunch, single people, families, couples, Indian, white, Hispanic you name it. Everyone appeared to get the same level of service. I don't go too often because I feel so full afterwards, but I really do enjoy it when I go.

The butter chicken and the kahari chicken were the two curries we tried and I must say that the butter chicken was definitely my favorite of the two! The butter chicken was cooked to perfection and the chicken pretty much melted in your mouth. I was so impressed. The kahari chicken was recommended by the waiter and it was a little too spicy for my liking. The vegetables and bell peppers were cooked nicely. Services is always great and they have a wonderful staff all around. Ambiance is fantastic. It's a casual restaurant but still has a white cloth vibe.
