She took care of every detail and timed everything well. The food? OH dear - where to start? The octopus remains our favorite in NYC! I tried the sardines special appetizer... wow! They were perfectly fried and loved the garlic cream on the side. I also had the bay scallops main special. Also...
Periyali was good before the renovation, but coming back after the recent renovation I found the food quality even better. It's not inexpensive, but the portion sizes are fair for salads, fish, and lamb chops alike. It remains a great spot for a relaxed romantic evening, with well-spaced tables and a cozy feel.
I've been going to Periyali for years and it never disappoints. The food is delicious and also very healthy and clean. The service and ambiance are always great. It's one of the rare gems of the city that offers great food in a comfortable setting and feels like an insider place. I've given parties there over the years and now they have a beautiful second floor private room. Perfect for any special occasion. I highly recommend Periyali for any occasion: friends...
