Priyaa's

What was ordered: Masala Dosas with chutney, and Idili and samber.

Masala Dosas: These are HUGE!!!! Basically, what they are, are Indian style crepes with filling...in this case, the filling was Masala, so there were potatoes, peas, and carrots that was spiced with Indian spices. The “crepe” part of the dosa was thin, crispy, and had a good flavor. Basically what it should be like...it is made up of fermented rice and lentils, which are ground up to make a flour. 
The only complaint we would have about the dosas, are that the filling was quite bland...there was not a lot of the filling in the dosa also.

Chutneys: A.) Coriander chutney: There is a bit of different taste about the coriander chutney...mom thinks it was good, and Sarah disagrees. What I didn’t like about the chutney, was that it was not very flavorful at all...it kind of tasted like cardboard to me.

B.) Coconut/ peanut chutney: We both agree that this was EXCELLENT. I think that it was supposed to be more coconutty, but at Priyaa ‘s, they kind of have a more peanutty taste rather than traditional coconut chutney.
C.) There is also a red chutney that we, personally, do not like. In our family, we never really have used it in our cooking, so it just never really appealed to us.


Idili: This is like a rice patty...I LOVE to eat these in India. Oh my gosh, they are SOOOOO yummy! When we were in the Bombay airport, the first thing we ate were idili. Sooooo awesome! (Sarah) At Priyaa ‘s the idili was very good too. We really appreciated that there was a little chili powder mixture on the top, which really added a whole lot to it.

Samber: Had a good flavor. It was a bit stingy on the amount of vegetables though...however, it was not too sour. Some sambers can be VERY sour.


INTERIOR DECORATING

Unimpressive typical Indian....the pictures on the wall are typical. Those pics were the only thing that really made the environment feel Indian. The resturaunt lacked much creativity...

SERVICE

The service was average...not really exceptional, but the employees didn’t really ignore us. The food came at a reasonable time. Also, our water was always filled. However, there wasn’t much interaction between customers and waiters.

Sumary: At Priyaa’ s, you can always expect good food. It’s not OUTSTANDING, but it is moderately good, and can always be depended upon for substantial food.
