We've eaten here at least five times and every single time we leave thinking why don't we eat here more often? The food is fabulous and the service efficient and caring.

What a gem - everything was chef's kiss from the food to the service. I could not rave about this place more and their tandoori chicken has to be my favourite. Would highly highly recommend!

They have more vegan options than typical Indian restaurants. The food was delicious and the ambience is lovely.
The worst food ever! Disgusting!
Great find in Granite Bay, CA. The food was delicious. Service excellent Nice ambiance with soft music. Ordered Yellow Daal Tadka which was piping hot and very tasty and the Garlic Cilantro Naan was freshly made. Ended with a perfectly made Masala chai. Waiter asked if I wanted refill on my Chai ?. (Chai refills were free!). Had a nice seating area for people that came to pickup. Will definitely revisit to try other items like Apricot Fig Salad.

We are visiting Folsom and stumbled onto Avatar’s for lunch. Coming from the SF Bay area, we’ve been to any number of Indian restaurants but this was a real find!
The decor was very tasteful, the tables neatly laid out, the music subdued.. and the food was outstanding. We had dal tadka, mixed vegetable coconut curry, cucumber raita and and onion naan and roji roti. Each dish had its own spin and balance of spices, they all tasted great. I also asked for a few slices of onion, as that goes well with dal and roti, and lo and behold, we received a platter of sliced onion, cucumber and jalapeño, with slices of lemon for squeezing, at no charge. Loved the food, the service and the aesthetics, recommend Avatar’s to all lovers of quality Indian food.
