Avani Asian Indian Bistro
We are always looking to try different Indian restaurants. Our usual go-to place for takeout is already closed down. A friend suggested we try Avani Asian Indian Bistro, and I have to tell you; it was 100% worth trying.
The place is clean, and the ambiance was welcoming. The staff was very friendly and cordial. We started out with a chili paneer, battered paneer cheese tossed with chilies, ginger, garlic, and green onions. The menu says served “dry” which means it’s been drizzled with sweet and sour sauce. I have to admit, while the spice level was only mild, it was on spicy good. This dish was just the start of a very awesome and tremendous meal for my palate. I just can’t get enough of this starter dish; the batter was close to crunchy and melts in your mouth when you take that deep bite. The sauce was more than savory, and I have to tell you, it was more than enough to fill our lunch craving.
But on to the main dishes, the highlight of this place. Our family loves to eat Lamb Korma and Chicken Biryani, so we just had to order them. Their Lamb Korma has mild curry made with ground cashews and almonds, yogurt, and tomatoes. If you are reading this right now and thinking to yourself, “it’s like any other korma”, you have to come taste this dish for yourself. I’ve had other Lamb Kormas from other places, and this my friend has to be the tastiest and most savory Korma I’ve ever tasted. The lamb was tender, cooked to perfection, and the curry sauce was just heavenly. I kid you not, I fell in love with this dish from the get-go. And of course, what is your Indian meal with eating biryani. Our go-to is always a chicken biryani, and their version has to be one of the tastiest in town. Unlike other biryanis, where you see a mix of colored and white basmati rice, theirs was fully engulfed in that rich biryani color and was covered in a baked Naan crust. The dish was done perfectly so that you wouldn’t even notice the protein (whether you order lamb, chicken, or veggies), the savory rice itself will give you a happy tummy all day long.
Overall, the food, the ambiance, the service & friendliness of this restaurant are amazing. I highly recommend dining here regardless of your craving, Indian cuisine, or not. I would give them 10 stars if I could. More power to you, Avani Asian Indian Bistro, in Matheson, Mississauga! 😊

We discovered this place not too long ago. This is our comfort go-to noodle spot in Markham. Every time we visit Pacific Mall, we always eat here
The food is delicious, and the owners are super friendly. The beef noodle is my daughters favorite dish. I, on the other hand, prefer to order the pork intestines noodle. Fast service and with a smile! Highly recommended!
