Natraj, Rio de Janeiro

I went to this place some weeks ago and It's not a real indian restaurant. But yesterday I have been at a fantastic restaurant in Belo Horizonte city. It's a great place! Maharaj, please, do us a good favor and open a good restaurant in Rio!!!

I was in RIO in 2007 April, we were four members plan to visit the Indian hotel with huge expetation, there we found Mr. George from Kerala, as owner of the hotel, he talked to us little and took order of Paratha, Mutton Kasha, one Vegitable etc, but soon I found this is not at all Indian made food, the cook was Brasilian too. So, its my turn to open a hotel there soon. A Perfect Indian Restaurent. isn it a good Idea???

Not much choice of Indian Restaurant in Rio, however Natraj is much better than Raajmahal. Place is small but elegant/great ambience, made look bigger by mirror on one side of wall. Nice for romantic dinner. Thali/Platter served for 2 was not a great quality or quantity.

Unexpected to have a good Indian restaurant in Rio de Janeiro. Home cooked, the owner is the chef and manager as well. She is an indian national that has been living in Rio for many years. Was there with a Seikh friend, great brunch all food, chutneys, sauces are handmade fresh.

look I am Indian and live in London, have travelled extensively in Brazil and India. I have been eating authentic, home cooked North Indian food since childhood, and really have an uderstanding of what Indian food should look and taste like PLEASE CLOSE THIS PLACE AND RAJMAHAL DOWN, the food was ghastly, if you would have served this to me and i was drunk I would still refute the appaling food that is served in this awful awful restaurant, some words to describe the food greasy, tasteless (when there was taste, you wanted to spit it out!), Restaurants like these are insulting to the amazing tastes and smells that REAL Indian cuisine can create, save your money and go to one of Rio's baiano restaurants, atleast the chef is local!

We went our of our way to find this restaurant and were sorely disappointed at the quality. The owner should have paid us the money to eat the so called food! All the dishes were pre-cooked frozen with no taste. While the owner looked Indian, she has no understanding of the Indian food--north or South. The thali at $51 Rials was a rip-off! Save your money and don't even bother. The quarters are cramed and dusty.

This is a Discrace to Indian's- both Natraj and Rajmahal are pathetic,The food is not indian and does not belong to anything but trash,Please avoid and save your money

Only the name is India. The food there is no where near Indian food. the only India connection of this is it is owned by a lady of India origin. food there is pathetic. I would not eat there again even if I am offered money for eating there.
