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 came to visit from Texas, just found the place randomly, and hands down the best Indian place I have ever tried! We got greeted by Susana, she was such a joyful and happy person, she made the whole experience so much better! Highly recommended!

As soon as I took my first bite I was instantly transported to the streets of India. Each dish tastes homemade. The chicken biryani is the best I’ve had in any Indian restaurant in the Sacramento area. Honestly, I haven’t found a better Indian restaurant anywhere else in Northern California. All the others have been terrible and don’t even come close to the authenticity of this Indian restaurant. Even the service was top notch. Our server was the manager (I believe his name was Sagar) and he was a very nice guy. I will definitely be coming back to try more authentic Indian delights

Amazing Indian food!
This is a unique place with a smaller menu of amazingly well prepared dishes.
I strongly recommend the avocado Chaat!!
The apricot fig salad was incredible!
UPDATE or second review:
I don’t write reviews every time we go somewhere, but this place is so good I need to update the review every so often. So we had not been here in a while just busy and it’s a little bit out of our way, but the good is really good so we had time to run over here later in the evening about an hour before closing.
I can’t tell you enough that everything I’ve tried is just amazingly delicious. I have been wanting to try to mixed vegetable coconut curry, so today I finally ordered it.
I’m going to tell you to order the next time you go there it’s amazing. The coconut curry sauce was delectable I’ve never had a sauce quite like this one it was just amazing, the coconut was obvious but not over powering, and the other flavors in the sauce mixed well and complimented each other. I was amazed at the crispness of the vegetables, they were absolutely the perfect texture cooked just enough, but still crunchy. I will tell you no matter what you order it will be delicious, but do yourself a favor and try this mixed vegetable coconut curry!

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.

Avatar Indian Bistro is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine. The chicken tikka is a standout dish, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The chicken biryani is also a must-try, with fragrant rice and tender pieces of chicken. The restaurant’s atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the service is attentive and friendly. Overall, Avatar Indian Bistro is a top-notch dining destination for lovers of Indian food.

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.

This is a gem of an Indian restaurant. The Spinach Potato Kofta is my favorite dish by far. The potato dumplings were rich and amazing. The ground lamb and cheese kabab had a lovely flavor and was delicious with the three sauces. The spicy sauce is super spicy! The restaurant is very cozy and decorated to enhance your experience. Love it, will be back regularly!

What a wonderful experience! The space is cute and cozy, the music subtle and the decor tasteful. The staff was not only friendly and welcoming, but also helpful.
To start, we ordered the sweet and sour cauliflower appetizer. The cauliflower had a nice crunch and the sauce was both sweet and tangy.
We followed that with garlic and cilantro naan, which was crispy and delicious. We dipped it in the sauce from our two entrees, the spinach potato kofta and lamb vindaloo.
The kofta had little dumplings made from mashed spinach and potato. The red sauce was tangy and just hot enough (we ordered medium heat) the cheese in the sauce offered a nice creamy texture. The vindaloo was delicious, with the lamb flavor infused throughout the rich brown sauce.
We ordered the basmati rice to accompany our entrees. We will definitely be coming back here.

Just after our first visit, it became one of our favorite Indian places in the area! Stepping in the first thing we noticed is the decor and it’s really well done; from the God pictures on the wall, to the table cloth to the wall painting and the other small knick knacks. Absolutely loved how they have done up the place and a lot of the elements brought up the memories of my childhood home. It’s tasteful without being stereotypical or tacky. Coming to the food, we ordered: black garam daal, spinach kofta, garlic coriander Naan and onion naan and really enjoyed it. It was perfectly flavourful and we’ll definitely be going back to try other items on the menu. But the thing that stood out the most and will keep us going again and again is the warmth and hospitality of the staff and management, which is reflected in all their customer interactions. If you’re looking for good Indian food in the Folsom/Roseville/Granite Bay area, this place should definitely be on your list!
