Creative and flavorful dishes

by Geralynn

Whenever we are anywhere near the Sausalito area we stop at Avatar's for lunch. The food is fresh, beautifully presented, creative and flavorful. Avatar's features an interesting blend of exotic East Indian flavors and Mexican style, using organic and free range products.

This place, located in an industrial park, has little ambiance, but you cannot beat the food. The best quality and most creative dishes are served with pride for a reasonable price. Yesterday we stopped and were treated to lamb and sweet potato enchiladas with home made yogurt and tamarind sauce. The presentation was exquisite, the flavor and texture excellent, and the bill didn't make us gulp.

Go there. You won't be sorry.

• Pros: Quality, creativity and presentation.

Great family-run Marindian (Marin Indian) restaurant!

by sausilady

We have been going to Avatar's almost weekly for many years, and we always enjoy the delicious and unique dishes and the friendly service. It's a very special place, one of the few that offers to accommodate special dietary requirements (vegetarian, no-oil, no-carb, etc.) Ashok and his sister, Kala, are generous and thoughtful hosts who make every visit pleasant.

• Pros: Indian-inspired food as you like it
• Cons: None

Simply the Best

by granada21

Avatar's is consistently the best restaurant anywhere for Indian food without the heavy use of butter and creams. In fact, for good heart-warming food, it ranks as the best restaurant I've ever been to. The service is outstanding, unless, as one reviewer noted, you come at the peak of dinner hour. But hey, it's all good, just chill out and Ashok will get to you. It's well worth a couple minute wait.
