About Priya

Priya Indian Cuisine offers a range of culinary delights, which are as varied as the land of India itself. It is a fusion of North, South, East & West of India. The cuisine from India is as ancient as its civilization and has evolved as it has absorbed influences from the Moguls, the Persians, the Zoroastrians, the Portuguese and the native local foods.

​

Priya Indian Cuisine blends the class & refinement of the north with the sauce and spice of the south. The repertoire is rich, vast & seductive both in vegetarian & non-vegetarian fare, & boasts of several varieties of Curries, Dals, Tandoor kabobs & Biryanis The curries and the rich Koormas are complemented by Tandoor food – a cuisine as well known as the curries.

​

The Moguls influenced the food of northwestern India by introducing the concept of the Tandoor – a conical clay oven fired by charcoal and wood. The delicately spiced meats and vegetables are marinated in a paste of yogurt and spices before being threaded on skewers and quickly baked, giving them a sublime smoky flavor. Accompaniments to the meats are the much leavened and unleavened breads (Nan, Parathas) also baked in the Tandoor. For the Tandoor dishes check the Tandoor section of our menu.
