Came here for my husband's birthday and oh my gosh it was soooo good. We went on a weekday night. Service was great- our server made amazing suggestions and we were happy with everything we ordered. Plenty of food, amazing flavor, and a very enjoyable atmosphere. I hope that people know about this place because it was completely empty with the exception of a few takeout orders during our meal. But we did go on a weekday night so that's probably a good reason why. Anyway, try this place. You won't regret it!

We love Indian food and this is our favorite Indian restaurant in the region. It’s family run and the recipes are authentic, packed with delicious flavors from fresh ingredients and spices. The ingredients are clean, fresh and largely organic. Many options without seed oils and lots of gluten free choices, but don’t come for that. Come if you like amazing Indian food at very reasonable prices. Try their new lunch specials! You’ll get more food than 2 people can eat for $22. The service is warm, friendly and very accommodating to food preferences, food allergies & food sensitivities.

I love Avatar Indian Bistro. We come here a lot for family dinners and we always enjoy our meal here. They have a nice variety of vegetarian options and the food is delicious. The staff are kind and always quick with service.

This is a must try for their lunch special which is served every week day. My husband and I just tried it for the first time and we can’t believe the amount of food we were just served for the price. It is 22 per person for two entrees, a salad, tea or soda, rice and nan. The salad was unique and delicious. We will be making a point of coming for the lunch special whenever possible.

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!

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.
