Service is super attentive - they obviously pride themselves on this and rightly so - and most importantly the food was excellent across the board. Will be back.

We had been eagerly anticipating the arrival of Avatar in Balwyn and our first visit far exceeded…read moreexpectations! While there are plenty of local Indian eats in the area, Avatar manages to offer a unique experience with it's attention to detail. The food was absolutely delicious and the friendly attentive service was a joy. Highly recommend the eggplant curry and the chilli baby corn dish. A wonderful evening.

We've never eaten in - don't know why, just never occurred to us to do so - but always enjoy the takeaway. It's not the best Indian you'll have in this neck of the woods, but it does the job when you're in the mood for a curry-kick. Also, they either don't allow credit card or eftpos. I never can remember which one until I get there and then have to pay by cash because I've brought the wrong card. Again. That's my stupidity though more than anything. I give myself 2 stars for remembering such things.

This is the best Indian restaurant I've been to for ages - certainly the best in this local area,…read moreby far. The service is very attentive, the decor is better than most other restaurants in the local area - I particularly like the open kitchen style with the window view to the chefs. The food is really lovely. My companion and I shared the Tandoori Platter (a selection of chicken, kofka and lamb), Pumpkin Masala, Naan, Green Salad and a Cucumber Salad. Everything was fantastic - particularly the Pumpkin Masala, which was beautifully flavoured - we requested Medium for that. Very delicious meal and I wouldn't hesitate to return or recommend this restaurant to others.

Nothing bad mind you, just didn't fall in love with the food.
