Jade Petaishiski
I’ve been coming here for the past three years and I’m never disappointed. The food is always delicious, whether you’re dining in, picking up, or getting doordash (tho I try to avoid that because I like to be able to tip the restaurant). The owners are so kind, a cute married couple who have been running Preethi’s for over a decade. I always get vegetarian food but my boyfriend enjoys their meat dishes! The more often you come here, the more the owners will chat with you or throw in a free mango lassi! (Gobi Manchurian picture included in review)

Great food! I love it everytime

Worst experience ever, totally waste of money! If you been to India or tasted Indian food in better places then stop going there! The food tastes worst I just couldn’t even eat it, not even 10% tastes like Indian food specially South Indian dishes!!

This was my first time coming to Preethi and I am so blown away that I stopped after my first couple bites to write a review. The naan is the real deal. Charred and piping hot even when I got to my house. The coconut chicken is blowing my mind and the samosas are clearly made to order, unlike some other local spots. The people working there were very nice and even offered me a complimentary mango lassi. 10 out of 10. Will be back again soon! I would add photos but we are currently ravaging our dishes as if we were starved.

I’ve been to my share of Indian buffets, and Preethi has been the best yet. Their dishes are heavy, with spices, so the flavor is off the charts. It’s a husband and wife team, that try to keep their customers happy. Definitely worth trying.

Abhishek Gupta
Food was too creamy, taste was neither north indian nor south. Gravies were parhaps too stale to retain any taste. Rotis were good. Expect a mediocre experience. it will fill your stomach just fine. Service was fast

If you’re searching for an exceptional South Indian restaurant in Davis, look no further than Preethi Indian Cuisine! This restaurant offers a truly authentic experience, with owners hailing from Andhra Pradesh in Southern India. The food here is packed with flavor and spice, making for an unforgettable dining experience.

This review is only for their delivery and not for dine-in. I feel that the quality of food is VASTLY different in their deliveries than if you dine at the restaurant. And I’m not just talking about the food being less/more spicy or salty but like a whole different species. My main problem was with their South Indian Chicken curry which I loved when i dined in, but when I ordered the same dish (about 4 times in total), I got very different versions each time. Sometimes its like the restaurant but most times its a watery mess with chunks of chicken thrown in, no flavor and the spices just floating on top. I wonder if they have different chefs, but whatever it is, for the price I would not recommend to order delivery from here. Dine-in is good.

Foods are okay, taste varies from time to time. But dishes are very overpriced compared to similar types of restaurants around. Very disappointed with the price when compared to the amount they served and the taste of food.

Master Maggie Li
I’ve heard good things about the lunch buffet here. We came as a group of 10 for dinner and ordered several dishes ala carte. My favorite was the chicken/paneer tikka masala (they had the exact same sauce, buttery and a little tingy and divine when paired with the super garlic naan). Cons: 1) portion size was super small for $10-13 per dish: 2) mango lassi tasted like mango purée, no yogurt
