About Us
Avatar brings the soul of traditional Indian and Nepalese kitchens to Bundoora, where every dish is crafted from scratch with absolute precision.
Our Story
Whether you’re popping in after work for a quick bite, meeting some mates for a drink at the bar, or just settling in for a long dinner, we want you to feel at home. You can grab a spot in our garden area and just slow down for a while; we’ll handle the rest. We believe food is all about balance, from the way we caramelise our onions to the warmth of our lentils, everything has to work together, because if the timing isn’t right, the dish isn’t right.
Hand-crafted authenticity
Every spice is roasted and ground in-house, and every momo is folded by hand, every single day.
Traditional clay tandoor
We use a traditional clay tandoor to achieve an authentic, smoky finish.
A local neighbourhood home
A welcoming local space built for good conversation, cold drinks, and meals crafted with care.
Our Specialties
We keep our menu focused to ensure that every dish we serve is as authentic as it gets. These are the foundations of what we do at Avatar:
Biryani
Our biryani is a labour of love, slow-cooked in layers to allow the long-grain basmati rice to absorb the complex, fragrant spices and tender, marinated meat for a perfect, balanced depth of flavour.
Crispy Pani Puri
A true street-food classic, our pani puri features light, crispy shells filled with a signature mix of spiced potatoes and chickpeas, finished with a pour of our tangy, refreshing herb-infused water for an immediate burst of flavour.
