"I enjoyed my quick lunch today at Avatar 's in Sausalito! I heard from Avatar 's by Marin Magazine 's Best of Marin Restaurants where Avatar 's was presented as the best Vegan / Vegetar restaurant in Marin County. While I'm not vegan or vegetarian, I really enjoy healthy and thoughtfully prepared food as I drove past and saw her signage, I decided to stop for a quick bite. After checking the menu, I quickly discovered that this is not your average Indian restaurant. The dishes are a unique blend of Indian, Mexican, Caribbean and Asian influences. I could not really decide what to order as I order a creature of habit and always the same in Indian cuisine restaurants. I told the friendly female server that I usually order Palak/Saag Paneer and she said they could make it. It was the best and most tasteful playback I had in the bay. I often order from Lotus and ordered the delivery of Bombay Grill and Amber Kitchen. I also order from the Indian Palace sometimes as it is a convenient location on my way to Tiburon. Avatar's version was the best. I ordered it with an average spice level, accompanied by slightly smoked fresh vegetables and Basmati rice. The rice was perfectly boiled and not flavoured with too much saffron, but only enough to get notes of its lively taste. Ashok explained that in her version of the curry does not contain milk or cream and is oil based with bean products. Total wow, a healthier version of the plate that tastes better! Usually Indian restaurants put Curry in an oval shaped plate that makes it appear bigger, so when the plate first arrived with curry and rice on a traditional round plate, I thought it was a smaller preparation, but it was 't and the section was perfect. Ashok also only prepared a Daal Curry for a takeout guest and brought a small sample for me to try it at the next visit. He explained that all dishes are made to order and they do not cook large portions, as many other Indian restaurants do. The curry was also excellent, but I like Spinat Curry about cauliflower/lentil curries (re: creature of habit). I ordered the same dish again to go to dinner. I was surprised that the restaurant was not immediately packed with food and service at 11 on a Friday like other restaurants in the city. Go to Avatar's incredible!"

"Stopped for a quick lunch in my way back from the Golden Gate View Point, and found this place on Google. The ratings were pretty good, which I expected in this area. When I arrived the waiter was friendly, professional and obviously well versed in his job. The menu was surprisingly limited on items, lacking simple staples as Sweet and Sour Chicken. I started with pot stickers since I was hungry and needed something quicker than the main course. They came out in a reasonable amount of time, and were obviously just cooked. The pot stickers get an F grade, the wrapping was as thick as pie dough, and not fully cooked. The pork inside was also not fully cooked...very dangerous to say the least. The waiter was made aware of this and he smiled, but did nothing to make it right. They brought soup as part of the lunch menu, and it was a form of egg drop soup. Never seen it brown before, or stuffed with tofu. For me the flavor was very bad, but some may like it this way. The main course was deep fried chicken and shrimp with a brown kind of sour sauce. The sauce was ok, again some may really like it, or really hate it. The shrimp and chicken were cooked well, although many pieces were over battered and what I thought was chicken, was just deep fried batter on a couple occasions. Overall, it fed me, but was very high priced, about double what I would have expected, and I would never eat there again. Just the fact they sent out under cooked pork and never tried to make it right is a deal breaker for me forever."
