Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Avon Indian Grill's most legible beverage work is alcohol-free. Mango Lassi, Sweet Lassi and Salty Lassi are not interchangeable soft drinks: they give the table three different ways to handle chile, fried starters and creamy sauces. Masala Tea adds a warm, aromatic finish, while Indian Coffee supplies another deliberate alternative to soda. The current ordering menu also makes this part of the program unusually easy to assess, with the lassis at $4.95 to $5.95. Beer is present but poorly communicated. Taj Beer is the sole label identifiable in the current public menu trail, a sensible lager for the food but not evidence of a broad or exploratory list. That imbalance defines the program. Come for a mango lassi with heat-heavy dishes or a salty lassi beside richer curries; treat beer as a simple cooling accompaniment, and ask what is actually stocked before committing. Publishing the current bottles, formats and prices would turn an opaque supporting category into a more useful part of the meal.
- What should I order?
- Choose Mango Lassi with spicy or charred dishes, Salty Lassi with a rich curry, or Taj Beer when a straightforward lager is the priority.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Diners who value traditional South Asian dairy drinks and tea alongside Indian food; beer hunters will find too little public detail to plan around the list.
- When should I go?
- Order the lassi with the first spicy dish rather than saving it for dessert; Masala Tea or Indian Coffee makes more sense after the savory courses.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Mango Lassi and Indian Coffee are listed at $5.95; Sweet Lassi, Salty Lassi and Masala Tea are $4.95. Current beer pricing is unpublished.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- Three lassi styles let guests choose fruit sweetness, plain sweetness or salt, giving the nonalcoholic program a practical pairing range uncommon in a casual bar setup.
Beverage categories
We only score what a venue sets out to do. Categories a venue doesn't attempt are left unscored rather than penalized.

How it sits with the food
Mango Lassi softens chile and smoke, Salty Lassi is better against creamy gravies, and a crisp Taj Beer suits fried appetizers without adding more sweetness.
