Priya Indian Cuisine

I'm a big fan of South Indian cuisine, which is difficult to find. I was happy to hear about Priya from an acquaintance of mine who sang is praises.I really had some hankering for a dosa, which Priya had a small variety of. I ordered the Mysore Masala Dosa. It was delicious and truly hit the spot. My girlfriend opted for the lunch buffet (much closer to traditional North Indian fare), which she enjoyed. I also ordered a salted lassi, which was quite tasty. It complemented the dosa well.Although the ambiance is pretty minimalist (there are just 7 tables squeezed into this tiny place, more like a hole-the-wall cafeteria), if you're looking for South Indian fare, in particular dosas, this is your place. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Sacramento.

Wow the food is really good everything we tried didn't lets us down we eat there one a week almost one the butter chicken is fire on off the best in Sacramento the service is great always have it ready to pick up and fresh

Went there for the lunch buffet and tried everything! Most impressive was the Butter Chicken (might be the best I've had in Sac) and the fresh naan that is served to your table on request. The ambiance is utilitarian and humble--just what you'd hope for when escaping your office for lunch. For the price, I'd hope for a little more variety, but at the quality of service and food (if you like the dishes that they offer), the lunch buffet is really amazing.

I stumbled upon Priya Indian cuisine while I was in the Arden area, and decided to pick up some take away for the fam. The interior of the restaurant is small and extremely basic. It's one step above hole in the wall and definitely not necessarily an evening dining spot.I was greeted by an older gentleman who kept insisting that I had called in my order already, and I tried to explain that I had not placed an order yet and then I would like to see a menu. Eventually, a younger gentleman came out and said that he would be happy to help me with my to go order. After perusing the menu and asking a few questions, I placed my take away order for the four of us.Part of me was glad that I needed to sit and wait since the food is prepared per order, and that is always reassuring to know that someone's not just reheating something that was cooked earlier. When rang up my order, the prices were definitely higher than what were on the menu, and when I asked for clarification, he disappeared and never came back. I absolutely was miffed at being charged extra money for using my debit card without being told. The same charges applied to credit cards, etc. But there are no signs stating any of this.The food is definitely overpriced, and the quality and quantity is not there. Keep in mind that I ordered food that was supposed to be enough for four adults, and it was barely enough for two. The vegetable samosas which were recommended, or perfectly fried and definitely tasty. They have a nice spicy taste, but it's not overwhelming. That was pretty much the highlight of the meal.The garlic naan was absolutely disappointing. It's overpriced and they're just not enough. Again, I was ordering for four adults and ordered based on recommendations, but also what I was told. I ordered two of the garlic naan, which one I got home, was essentially half a piece for everyone. It tasted more like a tortilla than anything else. Very little garlic flavor. Very disappointing.The butter chicken sauce was tasty, but there was literally four chunks of chicken in the container which was fairly small anyway, and pretty much was a meal for one person. Maybe I should be glad that there such a small amount of chicken, because the chicken itself tasted like it had been boiled, and then dropped into the sauce. It lacked seasoning and flavor. There's no way that it was cooked with the butter sauce.The paneer was pretty much the same as the butter chicken. Mostly all sauce, and no cheese. The gentleman talked me into adding something that he described as a fried vegetable, and said it was absolutely a must try. It absolutely is a must don't do. It lacked flavor and was fairly underwhelming. There are definitely more reasonably priced and better tasting Indian cuisine restaurants in Sacramento. This just is not one of them. This place is overpriced, and definitely not worth it.

My coworker Jake and I both ordered the medium-spiced Butter Chicken with garlic naan, which came with white rice. Since we ordered the same items, Priya served the naan and rice on communal trays. The food was solid overall, but I wished the chicken pieces were cut smaller and made from dark meat instead of the somewhat dry, chewy white meat chicken cubes.*The shared parking lot is small, but at least the spots were decently sized.

I'm a Bay Area native, living in this area since the beginning of the pandemic. We make the trip all the way from Roseville to enjoy these authentic Indian flavors since ethic offerings are extremely lacking in Placer County. The dining area is small, but I haven't had an issue getting a seat for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. The service is friendly and welcoming, while the food is unlike anything else in the area. Parking is limited at first glance, but there's more in the back. I've been here twice in the last month, once to their Rancho Cordova location. This location's flavors and freshness are superior to Rancho's buffet offerings (which are more mild and still delish).I can handle a lot of heat, Medium is spot on but I'd like to try hot. Try the Butter Chicken, Saag Paneer, Parathas, Lamb Samosas, and Vegetable Curry.

We tried the lunch special & the butter chicken didn't measure up. Chicken seemed too tough & not high quality. Would have liked to have it served a bit hotter too.

The food is finger licking, mouth watering, eye rolling and toe curligling good !! Just amazing !! And the service is awesome asf ! Everyone there is so nice and has a very welcoming aura to them! Lovely lovely LOVELY place to take your love ones if you want the to eat right !

This place is fantastic! My family and I love Indian food and are always happy to try new places. We were in town for a few days, staying a mile or so up the road, and saw this small restaurant - which usually means owner operated and high quality. We came in for lunch and got the veggie samosas, navaratan korma, chicken curry, chicken tikka masala, and garlic naan and they were all exceptional. Then, the staff brought out some samosa chat for us to try and, like everything else, it was amazing! The portions were probably 1.5x larger than what other places serve and we ended up taking 2 meals worth of food back to our hotel. It sucks that we're not local, we'd love to help keep this place busy.

I recently visited Priya Restaurant while traveling, and it was a delightful experience!The dosa was perfectly crisp, and the idli was soft and spongy, served with a generous portion of sambhar that was flavorful and comforting. They even offered a sample of tamarind rice, which was a nice touch.The service was quick, friendly, and had a homely feel, making me feel right at home.Overall, this was one of the best Indian food experiences I've had in a while. I'll definitely return when I'm in the area again!
