OUR STORY

Bringing the authenticity of traditional Indian cuisine to Charlottesville, Priya's Now Catering offers a wide selection of mouth-watering pure vegetarian dishes. Our food caters to all different kinds of tastes: from South India, we bring delicacies such as idlis, pongal, sambar and vadai, many of which are gluten free and vegan, and from the North, we offer many popular dishes including a variety of paneer dishes, dals, and vegetables. We pride ourselves on staying true to the flavors of India with our home-cooked meals, and our goal is that our customers get a wider representation of the varied cuisines that India has to offer. We customize our orders to suit the occasion and needs of our clients.

Priya Mahadevan has always been a food enthusiast. After many years of cooking for her family, she created a food blog in 2010 to share all of her most favorite recipes as well as creating several new dishes from a variety of cultures. In 2013, Priya joined the Charlottesville Market, heading a stall called "Desi Dosa," specializing in traditional South Indian cuisine. After receiving dozens of requests for a restaraunt to be opened, Priya decided to start catering food from both North and South India. 

Priya is a happy wife and mother of three wonderful children. She has lived in Earlysville for 12 years after moving from Madison, Wisconsin.
