I was two bites in when I realized this place doesn't get the credit they deserve for their amazing food and I needed to write a review. This is some of the best Indian cuisine I have ever had. We started with paneer pakora which had a wonderful smoky flavor to the cheese. Then we shared their butter chicken which made me literally pause from the flavor explosion in my mouth. On top of that, the garlic naan and Indian coffee just made it that much better. Truly amazing flavors. Even though most of the customers were Door Dash pickups and we were literally the only people in the restaurant, they provided us with excellent service. As we were waiting for the food, I walked around and admired the beautiful wood art on the walls. The ambiance is perfect to make you feel like you are in an Indian family's home. Very inviting. read more

Priya Indian Cuisine - Butter chicken Thali - Indian Near Me - Redding, California

Nothing fancy. Had the buffet. Food was good. Friendly, mom and pop shop. Salt shaker was kinda crusty and needed wiped off. Naan bread could have been better. Thought it might be bought. Was also cold. But nothing that would stop me from eating there again. It was just ok... read more

Priya has some exceptional food. I haven't always been a big fan of Indian cuisine because it can sometimes be too spicy, but that completely changed after having dinner at Priya's. I loved the vegetable masala--it wasn't too spicy at all--and their garlic naan is incredibly tasty. The regular naan is great too and pairs perfectly with the thali. I also tried the butter chicken, which was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Overall, everything was delicious, and I'll definitely be coming back again. read more

We have eaten at this buffet several times. The food is delicious and flavorful, sometimes it does taste as if if has been sitting out for a bit. The staff have always been very nice and friendly. The place is clean and inviting, the music can be a bit loud at times. read more

Idly sambar. Average. Masala chai. Too much sugar. Service - single person managing everything. Could be more friendly. Plenty of seating space. read more

I just moved to Redding and wanted to find my new go-to Indian food restaurant. I ordered the butter chicken, white rice, and garlic naan and was so impressed! The flavor of the butter chicken was so delicious. The garlic naan was perfect and the serving of rice I received was very generous. I will definitely be ordering from here again and again. read more

Great for take out! We got the Chicken Tikka Masala, Vegetable Bryani (massive portion-- enough for 4+), Chana Masala and a garlic naan (packed with fresh chopped garlic). Everything was fresh and tasty, nothing was oily. Felt good after eating. Nice man handed me a box of my order. I can see its not really a spot for in house dining but I highly recommend for take out! So glad Redding has tasty indian! read more

Always such a good experience here for our family. We absolutely love the food ! The family who runs it is so welcoming and our favorite dishes are chicken tiki masala and the buttered chicken. read more

Ignore the bad reviews there from angry other Indian restaurants. This food is amazing. Deserves 5 star! The rest do not compare- Scott Horowitz read more

Delicious food with variety of side dishes, I got very stuffed and couldn't finish the dessert

Great family, get amazing service every time, and food is always consistent and amazing!

We ordered dosa and it took more than 20min to make 2 dosas. Coconut chutney and other chutneys were not fresh at all. Sambhar was very average. read more

We have no Indian food in Red Bluff, so when we come to Redding to shop we always go to Priya. They have plenty of Vegetarian options for me and an equal amount of meat based dishes. The lunch buffet is so good and I feel like I am dining at an Indian household. Simple pretty decor and Indian music playing (thank goodness) I don't want to hear American rock or disco while eating Indian food! Love their chutneys, vegetable masala, and actually everything they offer read more

Good good good buffet. Nice selection of chicken and vegetable dishes. Good value. It is worth a visit.

WOW this food blew me out of the park! So fantastic. The flavors were so cozy and just what we needed! We stopped here tonight on our way through town. It was perfect for our unruly family of 5 and the Indian coffee was the best I've ever had. read more

We went for dinner and the food was fantastic, just as i remembered. The chicken Tikka masala and vegetable curry were my favorite. The onion pakora was also a hit with our table. The service was okay, ambiance leaves much to desire. There was only one other table dining and the rest of the place was empty but we were sat right next to the other patrons. We would much prefer takeout here rather than dine-in. I went a couple days later to try the lunch buffet and i would not recommend it. The food tasted like it was at least a day old. The naan was hard and stale. Both rice options were dry. Even the fruit seemed like it had been sitting out in a refrigerator overnight. read more

Pretty decent meal. As a party of 4 we got butter chicken thali, eggplant curry thali, and goat biriyani a la carte. Each thali comes with rice and 4 other smaller sides, naan, and a small dessert (rice pudding). The butter chicken was pretty decent and the eggplant curry was ok. The naan came out hot and was very good with the other dishes. The biryani had a lot of meat in it and was very good as well. It also came with two sides (a yogurt and a curry? one). Both the dish and the sides were a bit bigger as a la carte. Overall a decent choice for indian food. Nothing special but does the job. read more

Priya Indian Cuisine is located in a strip mall like almost everything else in Redding. It's been like 5 years since I've been here and well, the price of the lunch buffet isn't under $10 anymore. It's $16 now, so plus tax and a little tip, basically you're looking at a $20 lunch buffet. At that price point it's not something I'd do often like once a week or anything. I'll say the food is still good and they did have my fave items on the buffet. As far as Redding goes, this is about the best Indian lunch buffet there is. I'm not too much into Indian food, I just know what I like, and that's the tandoori chicken and the tikka masala over that fluffy light basmati rice. Oh, yes, I do like the included naan bread too! I did like that the tandoori chicken was mostly drumsticks and thighs and not like some cheap Indian places do, is put out all the scrap pieces of chicken for the buffet, like the backs and rib cages and even necks, and save the better pieces for the ala carte menu. The chicken was nice and tender and you could bite in and not have to tear off the meat with your teeth. It just bit off nicely and had good flavor. The tikka masala was good like most places, hard to mess up that one. I ate as much of the chicken as I could but I think I was just able to get my monies worth as I was stuffed at that point. I'll come back, but maybe not as often when the prices were cheaper. read more

Priya Indian Cuisine - Dinning Room - Indian Near Me - Redding, California

In my opinion, the absolute best Butter Chicken around. Oh my gosh, SO flavorful and delicious.

Food was a let down. Decided to dine in and when I arrived, the man (appears to be the owner or manager) seated me, then brought me a fork and napkin. No menu. It was 5:30ish in the evening so he assumed I was there for the buffet dinner. I wanted to order vindaloo, but tried the buffet since I was super hungry and didn't want to wait. As a new customer, I was hoping to be asked if I wanted a menu or was I there was buffet... There were 3 main dishes, flavored basmati rice, some cake, iceberg salad, dessert and some cut fruit. The curry chicken was super salty ( not much curry flavor), naan was good, tikka chicken was super dry- maybe due to lights drying out the meat, and I didn't try the 3rd item which was same dal dish. I ate one plate of food and a few pieces of fruit. If you are hungry and just want food in your belly, it's a clean spot to visit. Don't go if you want authentic Hindu / Punjabi cuisine with real spices. I was truly disappointed. Gave it 2 stars for price & effort. read more

Priya Indian Cuisine - Buffet items. - Indian Near Me - Redding, California

Been here twice since moving to Redding about a week and a half ago, and they are 2 for 2 on not missing! Their butter chicken is so rich and flavorful, that I'm tempted to drink it... their buffet for a big back like me is totally the way to go, because it has a solid variety of different things to try. All-in-all, it's a great, new favorite restaurant that I'll be becoming a regular at! read more

Priya Indian Cuisine - Butter chicken Tikka Masala A la Carte Vegetable Samosa Garlic Naan - Indian Near Me - Redding, California

This food is not even close to Indian. It's like making a cheese cream and use veggies instead of pasta. Their $5 Garlic naan doesn't justifies the cost and is a B- at its best. Mutter paneer was hopeless, sweet, creamy and peas looked to be from canned jar. I ordered online and it was ready well in time and hence additional second star. I really want Indian restaurants to do well in touristy places. There are only a few options in Redding and I would like to see them grow. Please improve the preparation and taste. read more

This place is not bad but when we went there they had a buffet the food wasn't that great service was okay but they charge $3 for chai with no refills which I thought it was weird in other places chai is free read more

Unfortunately found some unwanted protein in my rice. Some kind of grub . Won't be ordering again.

Very good buffet in Redding. The restaurant was clean and food was freshly cooked for sure

Not bad but needs more improvement. They are understaffed with only the owner up front so if you walk in it will take you very long to get seated. When you are ready to pay, it is also the same story. For the buffet, sometimes the chicken is way too dry and hard. read more

My husband and I stopped at this location on a road trip. We had very low expectations but were pleasantly surprised by the quality and taste. They had a buffet but we decided to go with the a la carte menu and ordered the potato pakora, chai and chicken biriyani. Potato pakora was freshly made and we were given 3 amazing chutneys. The chicken biriyani was also tasty and the chicken was perfectly cooked and falling off the bones as we ate them. Service is quick and there is a no nonsense atmosphere. I'll definitely stop by on our next road trip. read more

We were visiting Lake Shastha and had skipped lunch and needed a nice heavy meal. This place had a long weekend special buffet so we ended up here. Ambiance was bright and colorful, buffet had a decent number of dishes which were kept warm in chafing dishes. In addition to Indian buffet regulars like bright red tandoori chicken, butter chicken, naans, palak paneer, dal, pakoras, they also had vegetable pulao, an assortment of chutneys, onion salad, okra pakora fry, cut mirchi, mutton curry, chicken curry. The good stuff first: pulao was great, so was the dal which tasted exactly like one would make at home. Though the regular chicken curry was better than the butter chicken it still lacked an oomph factor and was mediocre. The okra pakora fry, and the pakoras were just limp. And a fresh batch of pakoras came out while we were there and those were limp as well. Palak paneer with naan was decent. Overall a very decent option for an Indian restaurant that's not in the bayarea. We are spoilt with a plethora of some outstanding choices here in the bay. read more

Came here for their lunch buffet-- the flavors here were amazing. I honestly just like 3 of their dishes that I could keep eating over and over again. The chicken tandoori was amazing, the chicken stew was savory, and the curry veggies which reminded me of thanksgiving stuffing was just delicious. Cons: butter chicken was too sweet for my liking. The naan wasn't that fluffy. P.S. The chutney and sauces were good and flavorful. read more

Priya Indian Cuisine - Indian Near Me - Redding, California

We were on a road trip and I needed a hot cooked meal that had veggies. I quickly looked up on Yelp either Chinese or Indian food and opted for the Indian. I placed my order through Yelp and we were there in minutes. I did not take photos as we weee all starving and loaded our plates full and ate. We ordered the following items: Eggplant curry: Okra Masala: We ordered this spicy and it did not disappoint. I enjoyed the spiciness and flavor and if ever in the area Lamb curry: I didn't eat this my hubs did but he said it was good. Lamb Biriyani: this was a huge order with lots of chunks of lamb. It was enough to feed 3 people on its own. Naan bread: I thought I was ordering 3 breads and accidentally ordered 3 orders and ended up with about 12 pieces of Naan!! They came with condiments, like picked carrots, and raita sauce. So yummy. read more

I've been coming here since I moved to Redding and it's always been consistently very good. Since the Covid shutdown they have been doing a lot of take out that I see going on while dining in. I'm sure the food is great when packed to go but I've always preferred eating there because when The Chicken Tikka kabob comes out of the kitchen sizzling on the platter it is pure goodness. The Thali dinner is the way to go and don't forget to order the samosa's or pappadam for the kids (they are like a giant Pringle but made of chickpea flour). The sauce trio served with either of them are great. Like I mentioned their food has always been great but as of this date I have to say the food this time was better than ever and every single thing we ordered was on point and delicious. If you like Dosas they make them there which most other places around Redding don't. read more

We stopped in here while in Redding visiting family. We were in the mood for Indian and didn't have a lot of time to look around so we checked out yelp and ended up choosing this place. The interior design and decorations are dated but pretty. They had a buffet open in the evening which is always a nice option. I was with my friend who was going through a difficult time and I was hoping to have a relaxed evening with her. We checked out the buffet but she was a little worried about how long it looked like the food had been out and I was concerned about gluten contamination. We were about to look elsewhere when they told us we could order something made off the menu ensuring both freshness and gf allergy precautions. Despite being one of only three tables in the restaurant, service was really slow. It took a painfully long time to get my wine, then the menu, then to order, and about the time the food finally made it we weren't really all that hungry anymore. Ordering gluten free was a challenge here as well. I wasn't sure I was being understood which made me nervous but I chose to go with items I'm used to being gf in the cuisine. While we were waiting for our from the menu freshly made meal, we noticed people from the kitchen kept coming out with dishes and filling up from the buffet and then going back into the kitchen. When our food finally made it to us we were pretty sure a good amount of it had materialized from the buffet we'd intended to avoid. My friend, who was grieving a family loss, was no longer hungry. However I made it my mission to eat for the both of us. I wasnt super impressed though and called it quits without finishing my plate. I had also ordered a togo order for my parents. The food unfortunately made my mom pretty sick and she's now untrusting of anything I bring for her to try. Overall, I can't say there was much to comment on. The service and food was not the best, but they do have later hours which was nice and price was reasonable. read more

This used to be our go to for Indian food. While the dishes taste great they no longer carry tamarind sauce which is huge and the portions are ridulous. Their mint chutney (also a huge draw for us), is sent in 2 tbsp containers. They used to send (we order in a lot) of naan free of charge and now they charge 4.99 for one piece (cut in two). Our last order of naan was burned. I don't understand how they justify such an expensive dinner with such poor attention to details. We will be cooking Indian at home when we want it now. It's a shame we used to live this restaurant. read more
