Nice, clean restaurant with very friendly staff. We had the naan — you can never go wrong with it and it was fresh, warm, and delicious. The rest of the menu looked amazing as well, and everything coming out of the kitchen smelled incredible. Service was quick, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the overall experience was great. Definitely a place I’ll return to when I am feeling adventurous and wanting to try new food items.

Overall good food. The to go portions just seem overpriced. And the wrap is nothing like the picture they have on website and chicken is dry and they put some thick white dressing on it too heavy and not a desirable taste for me. It actually ruined the entire wrap for me. Never getting that again.

The restaurant might not look as good from outside, but it is a gem. It’s a must try.
I ordered yellow dal, malai kofta and vegetable coconut mix. All three were great. The stuffing for aloo paratha was amazing. It was better than any Bay Area Nepalese and Indian food place.

Nice people. Good food. Understaffed for a Friday night. Service was slow but one old guy who was nice. DoorDash were waiting though. Food was pretty good. Especially the Tika masala. So glad to have found Indian food in Salinas. We will be back.

Best selection of Indian food in Salinas! There’s a bit of a language barrier but the services is welcoming. The curry dishes I got were savory and delicious. The restaurant style is very casual. Lots of mobile orders being processed while we were there. Very authentic food. Modest wine and beer selection. Family style food. Vegetarian selections. Coming back soon to try other selections.

I eat alot of Punjabi Dhaba( Indian Food), all over the USA, because I drive trucks. I had the sweet and sour cauliflower appetizer, the palak saag and the roti. The food taste amazingly homemade!! It was seasoned to perfection and prepared like someone’s grandmother was in the kitchen cooking!!! I recommend this place hands down!!!

We arrived right when it opened and dinned in for lunch. They do not have a buffet. I ordered the Tandoori mixed grill that had an assortment of chicken, sausage and spicy fish. It took about 20 minutes to get our food, but when we got it, it was hot and tasty, the Naan bread was fresh also. The server was an older guy who was very pleasant, we will
Be back soon, I do Not see much authentic Indian restaurants or food in Salinas, ca.

Food was decent and quantity was good as well. Reason for lower rating is the service time. Took time to get us a table (we were a big group of 10), took time to take the order, then took time to get the food. We spent around 1.5 hours here. Thankfully, food did not disappoint and we enjoyed our meal at the end.

I am so grateful it is salted right. It is worth the 50 mile drive. The Nan bread was so delicious. We got the family pack. This way it reminds us of the Indian buffets we used to go to. what is different about Avatar is there samosas. I have tried East African samosas and Indian samosas at many places. They put a special touch on theirs and the presentation is really good that I prefer Avatar Style samosas their chicken. The cooking a wait staff are very busy. It seems like they make their food fresh. That’s a blessing. How the food is presented and how it taste, it seems that the staff really knows what they’re doing and care about serving quality food. I’ve been here more than a couple of times and I have been satisfied. This is my favorite restaurant and Central Coast. It wasn’t hard for them to become my favorite because other restaurants and Salinas is you know like Salinas.
