I've ordered take-out and dined here before but for some reason I don't have a review for Avani yet...
Today my boyfriend and I decided to have some Indian food for dinner. From the time we arrived until the time we left the servers were very welcoming and friendly. Many other restaurants should get a few pointers from Avani. I also liked how you don't really smell the food coming from the kitchen in the dining area. This means that the smell of food won't cling to your clothes after you leave. The only reason why I didn't give Avani five stars is because of how long it took for our food to come out. It took over 20 minutes for our orders to arrive! There were only three other tables at the time we were ordered.
We ordered a basket of naan (comes with three large pieces), butter chicken, and a full tandoori chicken. The food came out hot and sizzling! The chicken was tender and delicious. The butter chicken was more spicy than the other time we visited. Since I am really bad at handling spices it was REALLY spicy for me. Next time we'll remember to tell them to not include so much spice.
I would definitely recommend Avani for anyone who want to have delicious Indian food. However, it is a bit pricey...about $50 (including tax and tip). We are definitely interested in trying their lunch buffet that apparently blows Tandoori Flame out of the water.
