Yummy, yummy, yummy is what I can say about this place. Who knew that a combo of Mexican & Indian flavors would work do well. I had the chicken curry, pumpkin enchiladas and they were very good. My husband had the jerk chicken enchiladas and loved them. My 4 year old had the salmon & rice plate with a side of curry ( not spicey) veggies, which were delicious! One thing I would is bigger portions for the price and more sour cream on the enchiladas...also some green salad on the side would go a long way to making the plate taste & seem more complete.  All in all a solid option for lunch or dinner, we will definitely be back.

Being huge fans of both Mexican and Indian food, we are so happy to have found Avatar's.  It's a delightful combination of Mexican dishes (enchiladas, burritos, etc) with Indian spices and fillings.  The food is very fresh and flavorful, and they have a multitude of vegan and vegetarian options (curry vegetables, sweet potato, pumpkin, mustard greens with tofu, etc).  The staff is courteous and very willing to accommodate.  When I asked for "dairy-free" they didn't bat an eye.  They have a sign saying that they prepare their foods oil-free!  The dishes are so tasty, who needs the oil?!  With a clean, modern dining area, courteous, caring staff, and fresh, healthy and tasty food, we are so pleased.  We will be coming back again and again.

Being a vegan , its hard enough for me to have lots of choices specially when i am out of San Francisco and to add to it , i was super hungry and craving for indian food after biking for 30 miles from SF to Fairfax. So i yelp for vegan food and just one option pops up and then i try vegetarian and i see "Punjabi Burrito" along with some more options . I decided to try this place with lot of skepticism that it would be another Burrito place trying to do some Indian Mexican fusion . So here is the short summary of my experience : Positives : 1. The two people taking the order were very knowledgeable about vegan eating and based their recommendations accordingly 2. The Burrito was super delicious and filing . The best part was they used Indian Bread instead of Tortias which i am not a big fan of . All the ingredients inside the Burrito were truly authentic Indian style cooked e.g. they had indian mango pickle inside the Burrito :-) 3. Very Economical, it cost me $9 for a big burrito . I know you are looking for negatives but there were none except for the fact that my phone fell off while trying to take the picture of the restaurant and i broke the screen .

This place is a great with it's delicious punjabi food with a twist! I had the punjabi burrito with pumpkin curry for $7.50 and thoroughly enjoyed the mixture of pumpkin, rice, and other stuff. The seating area is well lit and feels open. You also have the choice to sit at the window or at a table either inside or outside. It's right across from Good Earth, the grocery store, so I bet the window seats are prime for people watching! I am excited to come back and try the grilled eggplant burrito!

Delicious Indian burritos. So glad they finally came to Fairfax.

Nice clean Indian food joint with a Mexican-styled presentation. Not too oily and not too spicy. Would love to see them have a spice rack though so people can alter their spice levels of food.

The food is equally delicious as the Sausalito location but the ambiance is lacking. Part of it was that we were the only party in the restaurant. Unless you're in a hurry, do yourself a favor and go to Sausalito for the complete experience.

What a great idea.. I always thought a Punjabi should marry a Mexican for this exact reason.. curry meets tortilla y queso.. yeso The flavors meld spectacularly well. I just had the eggplant and lamb curry enchilada's .. the corn tortillas are the perfect texture for this hearty, spicy and authentically tasty Punjabi curry sauce and the lamb was tender and chopped into small bits.. mole sauce reincarnated.. No need for anything else except for a side of their awesomely non "marin" spicy hot sauce, and some chai.. I would have never thought of this combo, and I am glad someone did. The owner/ cashier dude was really friendly and very attentive. I will be back to try some more deliciousness another day.

Great overall first impression. Really clean interior and great location with good customer service. Were greeted and offered suggestions but not forced. Food came out quickly and smells great. The only thing I can say so far is the presentation on the food is lacking. I know a lot of good food doesn't need it but they should try a little harder on some garnishes and just a bit bigger portion size. I love the tastes but size is leaving us wanting a little more for the plate and enchiladas. Burrito is big so we are good there but definitely a bit more for the other plate options.

Ordered food to take home and was extremely disappointed. Couldn't even eat the food because it smelled terrible. Maybe I came on an off day because it sounds from other reviews that people have enjoyed it.

I've been here twice. The first time, we were starving and it looked good and I remember it tasting pretty alright. This second time (today), we drove 18 miles out of our way to get here, because on Friday some friends of ours were chatting about the place, and we'd had good memories of our first visit. My husband and I split a mango chutney, vegetarian samosas, and a chicken curry burrito. The good: the sauces are pretty okay, and the fruit chutney is delicious. The mango lassi is among the best I've had--mango-y, tart but not too tart, and not too sweet. The bad: sheesh. The burrito filling was about 90% rice. There wasn't _any_ pickled anything in mine, one tiny piece of fruit chutney, and two small pieces of chicken. There were NO sauces! Dry dry dry, so I poured what little was left of the chutney from the samosas (which were okay but entirely potato--not a single pea in there) on my burrito. The server came by to ask how things were after we were done; before that, I was looking for her so that I could get some pickle and yogurt and chutney in my burrito! What a disappointment. A nearly 40-mile drive for dry sadness. I cried in the car ride home.

I wanted to love this place, what with the friendly service, the cute fusion twist, but I wasn't impressed with the food. The enchilada was fine, but not great. It all looked pretty on the plate, smelled great, was truly piping hot, but and Indian enchilada is just not something I'd come back for later. I like Indian food, but not like this. Sorry, just "A-OK"

I'm always amazed at how empty this place is given its great cheap eats. My toddler loves it too. The portions are quite large so I always have a nice midnight snack later too. Handy location with lots of parking and a great alternative if you're tired of eating texmex as your go-to take-out food.

Amazing food! Had the curried pumpkin chicken burrito and mango lassi. The service was really awesome as well. The restaurant is super nice to sit in.

Punjabi/ Mexican food sounds odd, but as soon as you try it you wonder why it hasn't been done before. The flavors mesh together in a way that you can't get enough of. The food is always fresh and mouth watering. I had the crab enchiladas and I would give them five stars just for the enchiladas alone, they were that good. My husband had the jerk chicken burrito and trust me, he is super picky and he loved the burrito! We will be returning in the very near future because everything on the menu looked good.

The flavor of the chicken and eggplant enchilada was fantastic! The chai was perfect ($3.50) but note no free refills. The veggie samosa was tasty, and the sauces it came with were delicious (albeit with a touch too much garlic in the cilantro dip). Will look forward to returning soon!

We were actually looking for a wine tasting room and stumbled onto this spot. We took a look at the menu and decided we just had to try it. It was empty since it was 3pm but service was prompt. We ordered at the counter and got a number and sat outside. Even though we only ordered one burrito, the waitress gave us 3 glasses of water, one for each of us. What I especially liked was the the decor was so clean, sleek and white. It was actually a bit surprising and contradictory to what I would have expected. We were drawn to the pumpkin lamb curry burrito and each took a few samples. The flavors were well rounded and not overly greasy. However, similar to what others suggested, they need to include some additional sauces and spices to kick up the level of flavor for those who are looking for it. We all felt the concept was great but there should be an option to adjust your spice level suitable for your tastes. And even if it wasn't too heavy, I think there could have been more sauce to juice things up a bit. Great potential and a good place for a quick clean bite to eat.

Started with the vegetarian samosa plate. Vegetables inside the flour pastry were cooked to perfection. The homemade yogurt and mango purée was absolutely delicious that went with the dish. I ordered the curried lamb burrito. The perfect amount of curry and lamb. Yum! The burrito doesn't have a traditional tortilla on the outside. It has an Indian bread that is thicker and balances out the flavors. Super good!

I came with my husband, who is Punjabi.  He told me that the staff is not Punjabi, but that's OK.  I've had Mexian prepared by Puerto Ricans, kimchi made by Mexians, and bagels made by Koreans in NY- all done pretty well.  And Chinese-Indian fusion in Curry Hill, which made sense on my palate.   At Avatars, the fusion style leaned heavily towards the Indian side, so the enchilada sauce was kinda tangy and spicy.  I had the Jamaican chicken enchilada and my husband had a vegetable and chicken burrito.  They were both just OK.  It was fun to try something new, but the meal didn't meet mindblowing expectations.  I'd be intrigued to try the original location to see if execution is better there.

Everything is so tasty and flavorful. Wonderful healthy options and friendly staff. Perfect portion sizes. I had the blackened veggies with tofu over rice tonight, and it was delicious!!! I sat at the counter, watching Fairfax roll by. Great meal.

Docking 1 star because the "chai" was the worst "indian" tea I've ever had. However, the sweet potato curry was AMAZING, just like my mom makes it. The mixed veggie burrito with chicken was good. I appreciate that in Marin, there's actually a place that serves food that isn't bland and spice-less. Everything was spicy and flavorful (minus the "chai"). Please make fresh tea, and I'll be a repeat customer :)

Wonderful food.

It's fusiony but good. It's all white people eating here but the food has some spice. The rice plates and samosas are solid too.

My wife ordered the Eggplant plate and I ordered the Jamaican Jerk Chicken Punjabi Burrito of all things. The flavors were well balanced and the burrito was sizable as well.

It was OK. The flavors are good, but I am not crazy about the concept, because of limited choices.

The lamb with sweet potato burrito is excellent

This is soooo good! Pumpkin lamb.

Do you yearn for the willpower to eat healthier -- gluten-free, dairy free, low carb -- but your cravings for savory sin are too much to control? Then look no further than Avatars. Bright, clean, modern design and a casual atmosphere, Avatars is located right across from Good Earth in Fairfax. Run by a friendly crew of folks proud of their product, I was impressed by the array of options on the menu and the seamless fusion of Punjab cuisine into Tex-Mex styled platters. On my first visit my kind host recommended the enchiladas. Minutes later a drool-worthy dish filled with pumpkin and lamb curry-filled corn tortillas bathing in a mole-spiced sauce arrived. Like whoa. Tasted even better than it looked and sitting outside on the patio in the sunshine, polishing off my plate of goodness, I felt only a tinge of guilt. After all, it's the incredible spices, fresh ingredients and pure oils that make up this dish and not a load of empty carbs and grease. I'll be back to continue to experiment with the menu, and I suggest you do too!
