"I am a big fan of Indian food and can be a bit picky. In my opinion this is the best Indian food in the Monterey Bay. I have been here many times and have never had a bad experience."

"Avatar Indian Grill is hands down the best Indian restaurant in Salinas. The lamb vindaloo has the perfect kick, and the palak paneer is creamy and flavorful. A must-visit!"

"Consistently good food. We order from here at least twice a month. The chicken tikka masala and garlic naan are our go-to. Delivery is always on time and the food arrives hot."

"The Saag Chana at Avatar Indian Grill is a delicious, vegetarian dish that merits a try for its nutritional content too. Made by caramelizing onions in ghee with fresh ginger and garlic."
