Avatar — Restaurant in England

I have been here twice... the first time was okay good service food was ok enjoyed myself... went back a few weeks later on a saturday, with a few friends.. everything was ok we ordered drinks and papadoms waiting for our order to be taken...called the waiter countless times but they were to busy to even notice we were there...then i approched the owner/boss...now iv met owers in my life But thus particular person...he is the MOST RUDE AND ARROGANT PERSON IMAGINABLE didnt care about what we had to say told us to sit down in a patronizing voice and was just sooo rude towards us...swearing at his staff and all sorts..we was there one hour not once did he smile...in the end we decided to go somewhere else...so we got up and started to walk out the boss comes running and with a very angry look goes pay for the papadoms and drinks and then get OUT...now sorry im sure that is no way to treat customers...he didnt even appologize for the lack of service he just wanted his money...I would recommend anyone thinking to go there to try somewhere else for the sole purpose of the owners attitude towards his...

Avatar is interesting. Nepal is a country much visited by the Brits: first, the hippy trail crowd, and then the trekkers and climbers, for whom the country is a mecca. Well, among many other things, Everest is there. But Nepalese food is rarely found, and authentic Nepalese food vanishingly so. I imagine many have happy memories of the national dish, dal baat (literally lentils and rice), and the ever-present Thakali. That's why Avatar is interesting: excellent, authentic food served by excellent, authentic Nepalese people in the heart of Shrewsbury. The welcome is warm and the service personable in rhe extreme.

What you should select from the menu depends on your taste, and the staff really will go out of their way to make sure you're satisfied, going off-menu if needed. In short, ask for and take advice if you're unsure. Lovely town, lovely people, lovely food. Can't...

It was only upon reading my last review that I realised it’s been over two years since our last visit which is a shame because food wise I still rate it as the best Indian (it’s actually Nepalese-Indian) in Shrewsbury and we have some very good ones. The menu is not your bog-standard Indian although it does contain some ‘favourites’ but the choice is ample, including for vegetarians and pescatarians, and the food is delicious. Do note that the paneer tikka is completely dry, no sauce which caught us out (but it’s massive.) Service was very good too with more than enough staff on what was a very busy, and sadly, loud evening. Conversation levels had to be raised which had the effect of just increasing the noise so ambience wasn’t perfect. However, overall, we really enjoyed our meal here and I vow to return inside two...
