My food was a bit too sweet same as my husband's one. There also were too many "thank you" from the stuff for whatever reason and some of the waiters did not speak English well enough. They didn't even ask whether we liked food at all...

On arrival the place was in chaos...extremely busy, staff racing around and guests waiting to be seated. I overheard at least 2 tables complain about the wait for their food and so, given that our table wasn’t ready we decided to leave. Extremely disappointing as I’d recommended Avatar to my parents (usually excellent food and service) and was taking them for the first time. I’d booked over a month ago!

Great place as a curry house with a twist - an innovative menu of Indian and Nepalese dishes. I had the Venison Tikka to start,followed by a Chicken dish with parsnips - delicious. Staff were very attentive too. Will definitley revisit when back in Shrewsbury again.

Thank you for your care and attention when our friend was unwell for a short time- we think eating the chilli made him overheat. He is fine again now. Super meal and service

Located a few minutes walk from the River Seven Avatar offers excellent service, quality freshly prepared food presented in a fresh and pleasant environment. On street parking can often be found close to the restaurant or within 150 yards off street parking is also available. Finally, overall affords diners a good food experience.

Lovely food, sorry I like curry served in separate bowls so you can share and try other dishes with friends. The meals are plated up individually. Upon leaving they couldn’t be bothered to call us a taxi, even after a 10% tip (yes I regret that now but silly me thought they might bother to call a cab) and sadly the service wasn’t great that night, you were constantly trying to get their attention, understandably it was very busy but we seemed to be trying for ten minutes just to order another drink or request water. It takes over your evening constantly trying to make eye contact. the room became stifling eventually we got someones attention to ask for the air conditioning to be turned on - ah the relief! More staff needed at the weekends perhaps. If you don’t share food this is a good place for you, happily we like to try each other’s foods and the food we could not fault.

The food is fantastic. The usual Indian dishes are on the menu bur also a lot of Nepalese dishes which need to be tried. The service is excellent too and with a varied wine list this makes Avatar one of Shrewsbury's best restaurants. Avatar is a restaurant we visit regularly and more than happy to write a great review.

This is top quality Indian/Nepalese food. We had a salmon tikka starter which was delicious. A Gurkha lamb and a lamb saslik to follow. Both extremely good, the lamb tender and plentiful. Side dishes of chickpeas/potatoes and a mixed vegetable bhaji also excellent, the latter containing a wide range of fresh vegetables, still al dente, lightly coated in sauce. Too often, a mixed vegetable curry is a sludge of over cooked frozen stuff. Definitely not here. Naans were hot, fresh and fluffy. Two Asian beers on draught and a very fairly priced list of wines supplied by local specialist merchants Tanners.
