After reading some of the other reviews, I was expecting something considerably better, but at the end of the evening I realized the cooking just wasn't very good compared to other Indian meals I've had over the years.
Service was attentive and courteous, atmosphere fine, but for me it's mostly about the food, and all aspects of my full Lamb Curry meal were mediocre at best in flavor, texture, and presentation. Didn't seem fresh or distinct, flavors too similar, like the dishes had been cooked and kept warm for much too long.
Lighting was on the dim side, making it more difficult to appreciate what you were eating. I'm not Indian music expert, but what I was hearing in the background did not sound authentic. More like a watered-down, Indian version of new age elevator music.
With a couple of cooling Taj Mahal beers, I dropped about $70 for two people only to feel less well than when I walked in the door. That's the last thing I want in a restaurant experience. Sorry Priya, but I don't think I'll be coming back. You really have to do better to get my business.
My husband and I love this restaurant. We're from Sacramento and it's better than any Indian restaurant there. We're also vegan, and the man who serves us is very knowledgeable about what does and does not contain dairy. He even had the kitchen make us some vegan nan! We also love that they have south Indian options on the menu. Highly recommend.
One of the best restaurants in Chico!
The food always looks great, smells wonderful, and tastes sooooo good. If you have never been to Priya, I highly suggest you go M-F from 11-2 durring their lunch buffet. The price is right and the food is superb.
