👍👍 Lovely place for Indian food! They have an incredibly diverse and big menu, the variety of dishes is almost overwhelming. Their lighting creates a really warm and cozy atmosphere and there's plenty of space. We we're really happy with our decision, the food tasted amazing. People often mention Indian, good, Lisbon, restaurant, service, staff, friendly, nice, recommend, chicken,

    I am surprised about 4.4 rating, I have been to few Indian restaurants in Lisbon. This has to be the worst one. Few points below: 1. Waiters attitude wasn't right at all, acted like he's doing us favour by serving food. 2. While serving beer he poured it like its water. So glass was half foam/half beer. 3. Garlic naan wasn't anything like a naan...thick and hard. (posted a picture for reference) 4. Waiter did not ask us if food was good, if we wud like anything more, we paid the bill.. He put receipt on the table... Said thank you quite rudely and left. Would not recommend this restaurant for Indian food in Lisbon.

    Yummy food, very polite & courteous staff who took us in from Santa justa lift to the restaurant ( guy from Hyderabad) and offered 10% discount on bill. Even staff who served was equally cordial ( from Punjab). As promised food was nice & authentic we had ordered biryani, paneer kulcha and paneer butter masala. I really liked paneer kulcha as that could be eaten without any veggie it was nicely stuffed. Biryani too was quite nice. If in Lisbon, and around Santa justa lift please go for it. Also place is easy to pocket with good portion size . Recommended if you are visiting Lisbon

    We are tourists. We were looking for a place to eat at 10pm. Everything was closing so we ended up here.... AMAZING. We ordered Chicken Tikka masala, Lamb Biryani and garlic bread. We(two) didn't finish! I recommend 💯 We paid 25€ ~

    We were in Lisbon for one night on November 1, 2018 and caught up with couple of friends who are vegans and went to Natraj Tandoori for dinner and what a delicious dinner it was. Our vegan friends had plenty to choose from and we had butter chicken and chicken Tikka masala, which were delicious. The atmosphere is authentic and cozy. The dining room is small, so naturally they've tried to get as many tables as they can in the small space. Nonethelessare, you can still have conversation without worrying about privacy. The service was friendly and professional. Prices are reasonable for the quality and portions. Highly recommended.

    I’ve been on a 10 day trip from Barcelona, Madrid to Lisbon and this is the best thing I’ve eaten I almost cried. I will be on the hunt for Indian food that tastes this good in the US for the rest of my life.

    Ambiance is really nice and authentic, feels like India and very well designed with colors. I ordered butter Chicken, and it was fresh and had a nice spice as well as good portion, enough to eat the following day. My partner ordered the fish Tikka which she didn’t enjoy as much because it was fried instead of grilled. She did enjoy the mango lassi and said it was the best she’s ever had. Docking one star for the amount of fruit flies while we were eating it was really bothersome.

    Dieses Indian Restaurant Natraj Tandoori ist hervorragend. Das Ambiente ist sehr schön. Man fühlt sich gleich wohl. Das Essen ist sehr lecker und die Portionen sind groß. Sie haben schöne besondere Wärme - Untersetzer aus Messing zum warmhalten der Speisen. Außerdem hervorragende Fleischqualität und tolle Gewürze. Auch der Weißwein und die Nachspeise haben uns ein Lächeln ins Gesicht gezaubert. Die Bedienungen waren sehr nett und aufmerksam. Alles zu einem guten Preis. Vielleicht Dank an das Team in der Küche. Das war ein schöner Abend Kommen gerne wieder.

  • 5/5 Dilnaz N. 6 months ago on Google • 81 reviews
    Delicious Indian foods. The servers are attentive and gracious. We were six people and they were quick with our orders and kept replenishing our drinks and beers. Bill was 100€ for six adults so very reasonable. Indian food was slightly spicy which was ok for us but if that’s a bother make sure to tell them to make it medium or mild . We order chicken nazakat/ prawn paratha ,veg pakora , chicken kashmira and lamb vindaloo . Except veg pakora, everything was awesome . We are thankful to our Uber driver who recommended this restaurant to us .

  • 4/5 Marshall M. 1 month ago on Google • 53 reviews New
    Best aloo Gobi I've ever had. I would go back just to get that and their Naan! Butter chicken could have had more spice but I understand that's probably a better choice for a non-spicy eater. The portions were generous and I wish I could have finished my whole meal! Very friendly staff too!

  • 5/5 Mark R. 3 months ago on Google • 18 reviews New
    This place was truly amazing! The food was so incredibly delicious, I would recommend to anyone to come and try it out. Very reasonably priced and the atmosphere was wonderful too. The staff were really friendly and even let us choose some music videos to play in the restaurant (our favourite Bollywood songs!). The cake from Goa (bebinca) was really tasty too. Please try them, I know you will not regret it - they even let us take a selfie with them. Such class guys!

    Excellent and authentic Indian food, rich in flavour! My wife (Indian) and I had an excellent fish curry. The portions are generous and the price is very reasonable given the quality.

  • 5/5 Maurice G. 4 months ago on Google • 12 reviews
    Simply 5 star. If you wonder why there is no one asking outside to come inside, it is because they don't need to. Good food just sells by itself. Staff very friendly and quick. Taste simply amazing. The only fault is that we went to eat there on our last evening in Lisbon, otherwise we would go again. Best butterchicken in my life.

    Popular spot, luckily we arrived early, a queue formed soon afterwards which is testament to how good this restaurant is. Fabulous food, generous portions, fast friendly service and great value for money. If you love Indian food Natraj Tandoori is one for your list of places to eat when in Lisbon.

  • 1/5 Pedro C. 4 years ago on Google
    I don't usually post bad reviews, but this restaurant is absolutelly the worst Indian Restaurant I have even been to. The food was quite okay (though the portions are way too small) but there is just this waiter who clearly wants you to eat as quick as possible so you pay and go. He takes all the sauces and things away before you even finish to eat and is totally bossy and unhappy with everything and everyone around him. I do not recomend this place to people who love Indian food as me, and want to taste it in peace and good atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Shae M. 1 year ago on Google
    I am very impressed with the food and service compared to all other Indian restaurants around. The service is exemplary and the food is 10/10!! The food is authentic Punjabi and my husband is South Indian but we both love North Indian food. I would recommend this to anyone who wants some spice in Portugal :)

  • 5/5 Yogendra N. 2 years ago on Google
    We just loved the food offered in the hotel. The staff was extremely friendly and the service was very good. The paneer butter masala was just next level and the garlic Nan is something you shouldn't miss. But the best one is the postal kulfi which is just out of the world .... Highly recommend ... Please do visit

  • 5/5 Fran C. 1 year ago on Google
    We walked past on a previous evening and the place was full. Always a good sign. Loving curry as we do we called in for dinner after the Benfica game. We had a chicken karahi and a lamb dopiaza. Mrs C loves curries and she described her chicken karahi as the best she has ever had. Some recommendation!!

  • 5/5 Craig K. 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant made our trip to Lisbon! We value local cuisine and I have travelled to India previously, but yet it was easily beyond our expectations ... the food was incredible (huge selection for all tastes), the service impeccable (which for Portugal is not the default FYI), and the value was the ultimate cherry on top!! We were made to feel special in a quaint hidden gem in Lisbon. We dined out lots on our extended Portugal trip and this is the only restaurant we went to twice!! We've recommended it to our hotel after leaving, we felt that passionately about this spot! You will not be disappointed, we promise!

  • 5/5 Jacquie P. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Esther J. 9 months ago on Google
    Everything we ordered was amazing. Garlic prawn stater, garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, mango lassi, cobra beer. Music and service is great too. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Rahul J. 6 months ago on Google
    We were very pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. We went in with low expectations, given that the restaurant is in one of the most touristy parts of the city. But we had some of the best Indian food we have eaten in mainland Europe. Portions were large and the taste was very authentic. Perfectly spiced for our palate. Often, vegetarian food in such restaurants is an afterthought but that is certainly not the case here. Service was also great - quick and polite.

  • 4/5 R N. 4 years ago on Google
    This restaurant is very close to the centre, namely, Rossio Square. It's just off Rua Augusta in a narrow dark street, just metres away from the Santa Justa Elevator. In my estimation, prices were reasonable. We had dinner on two occasions here. The food is quite good quality and tasty. The cuisine is close to the North Indian variety. Orders were delivered quickly and the staff were very helpful. The shop is small, so the tables are a bit crammed together. At peak times it could look and feel hectic.

    Recommend this place if someone wants a nice Indian meal in Lisbon. You can specify your curry to be mild/medium/hot depending on your palatte. Waiters are friendly and explain nicely on the various options and how they are cooked.

  • 4/5 Tobias L. 4 years ago on Google
    Good food overall, when asked I said medium spicy but that means no spice at all for masala. The naan bread was great.

  • 5/5 Akua B. 5 years ago on Google
    We attempted to go one night but it was completely packed. I'm glad we decided to go the next night. The food was very good. Excellent spices, helpful staff, and i think they have wifi too. We even tried some new dishes we haven't tried before as it pertains to Indian food. I would definitely recommend going there if you're in Lisboa. And make sure you try to go early because it gets packed.

  • 5/5 Kate B. 4 years ago on Google
    Without a doubt the best Indian food in Lisbon! (and Portugal, given the many I've also tried in Algarve and Porto, too). I have lived in Lisbon for 5 1/2 years, and we first went to Natraj Rato (they have branches in Areiea Cascais, Rato, Odivelas and Rossio/Baixa), but Rossio regularly now stands out as the branch which puts out the best of the best. We regularly order several of the same dishes and the quality is consistent. Excellent naan, good rice and distinctive and complex curry dishes. We have brought many friends and family here, including my father, who was brought up eating Indian food: everyone agrees it is the best they've had in Lisbon. Staff are polite, service is good and fast, and dishes are generous in both protein and rich sauces. Drinks list, especially the wine, is well-priced and traditional Indian Cobra beer is served ice cold. Thank you, Natraj Rossio staff! Highly recommended. K

    I had just arrived in lisbon today . Thought of checking some indian restaurant for dinner . Had seen some good reviews about NATRAJ Tandoori . Went there and ordered a meal (dal makhani & naan ). I had normally just asked for a spoon . The person who served me food starting all sort of arguments. He said why do you need a spoon. Eat with fork & knife . See english people next to you , they also eat like this. I told him there is only serving spoon provided . I need an eating spoon to eat gravy thing. ( As all know that Even with english meals complete set of spoon , fork & knife is provided .) Instead of hospitality he argued that BAKWAAS mat karo deta hoon kha lo khana . He even claimed himself to be Manager ( imagine if same person is the manager & serves like waiter , then surely frustations like this come out ). So uncorteous & impolite

    Vergesst mal die 3000 Bewertungen von anderen Lokalen. Das ist ja klar. Wenn man genau am Touristenstrom sitzt, wird auch mehr bewertet. Wir sind froh, das wir uns getraut haben, uns umzuschauen. Über 865 gute Bewertungen ist auch eine super Hausnummer. Das Essen war sehr lecker. Die Fleischqualität hervorragend. Alles sehr schmackhaft und liebevoll angerichtet. Dazu schöne kalte Erfrischungsgetränke und einen guten Weißwein. Alles zu einem fairen Preis. Das hat Spaß gemacht. Vielen Dank an das ganze Team. Kommen gerne wieder.
