Authentic Indian food with quality ingredients and rich flavors. The ambience is really chill, which is nice to be able to relax while you’re eating after a long workday. The chef is very personable and deeply cares about what he’s doing. Great all around!

Absolutely delicious Indian Cuisine!

Wonderful customer service. Tandoori chicken is the best I've ever had. Garlic, cilantro Naan was delicious as was the lamb vindaloo.A hidden gem.

Avatar had a great atmosphere with soft instrumental Indian music and incense in the air.

The Garlic and Cilantro Naan was thin style and a mix of soft and crunchy textures. The garlic and cilantro flavors created an excellent combination.
We ended up ordering more.

The Lamb Vindaloo was moist, savory, and flavorful. It wasn't the softest lamb vindaloo I've had, though, with a couple of slightly chewy pieces. The medium spicy level was okay. If you're used to spicy flavors, I'd recommend a higher level if you want a kick.

The Butter Chicken had a soft, buttery texture to start and finished with a rich herbal and spicy flavor. The medium spicy level is satisfying if you are used to spicy flavors.

The Basmati Rice was soft yet firm and had enough flavor to enjoy on its own. I'd say one order is just enough for 2-3 people with two entrees.

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.

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.
