Avatar’s

Top choice in Sausalito


Boasting a cuisine of ‘ethnic confusions,’ the Indian-fusion dishes here incorporate Mexican, Italian and Caribbean ingredients and will bowl you over with flavor and creativity. Think Punjabi enchiladas with curried sweet potato or spinach fettuccine with mild-curry tomato sauce. All diets (vegan, gluten-free etc) are graciously accommodated. It sounds weird, but it's all amazing.

There are smaller Avatar outlets – called Punjabi Burrito – in Fairfax, Larkspur and Mill Valley which are equally delicious.
