Priya Restaurant began when four housewives joined forces, fusing their experiences with homestyle cooking to create a menu of traditional South Indian and Indo-Chinese cuisine. Roust slumbering appetites with starters such as the paneer pakoda, which quick-fries spicy battered cubes of cottage cheese for bite-size treats ($5.99). Priya builds international bridges with an enormous supply of suspension cables and a fistful of Indo-Chinese entrees, such as the chicken manchurian, where stir-fried meat basks in soy sauce and chilies ($11.99). Meanwhile, vegetarian tiffin meals arrive with an entourage of three chutneys and sambar, accompanying hefty portions of pancake-like uthappam ($7.99) or dosa ($7.99), whose rice-and-lentil overcoat allows it to inconspicuously sneak into unsuspecting mouths. Finally sip a selection of Indian beers while enjoying bites of the bendi masala's spicy platter of okra ($9.99), which silences grousing stomachs before they blurt out the secret hiding place of their owners' spare house keys.
