Delicious food and Exceptional service. All staff is very warm and attentive. Live music elevates the ambience. We tried the non-veg thali and seafood thali. Both were great. Special shout out to senior wait staff member Mr Palani - who served us with a lot of love. Will definitely come again.

I’ve been wanting to try this place ever since they moved from Crowne Plaza. I went for a Sunday lunch thali. The entrance is stunning, and the ambiance is beautiful, keeping the fully rooted South Indian heritage with a modern aesthetic. The service here is top-notch, better than almost anywhere else I’ve been. However, my experience was let down by the food. It was extremely average, even Sangeetha, Geetham, and Bhavyam serve better-tasting food. I recently visited Visesham before this place, and that set a high bar for me. The food was served cold many times, and I had to ask them to replace it several times to get it hot. The only thing that stood out on the menu was the banana dosa and the mix fruit ice cream (mango, banana, and custard apple, if I’m not mistaken). I would suggest Visesham and Avartana for an elevated dining experience in South Indian cuisine.

Our server Palani served us with so much love and care. Although we are not strangers to the cuisine, this was our first experience with a Chettinad thali. The prawn starter, the lemon rice, vegetable stew and the chicken curry were standouts. The appam with coconut milk was something new and absolutely delicious. The live music added to the ambience without being too loud. One of the best thali experiences I've had in India.

It was a great luxury fine dining experience, their signature Thali was good in taste too. However, they can plan the meal better. Since they bring out everything on the plate in one go, it becomes so cold & inedible. They can perhaps train the staff to bring the food course by course upon request so it can be hot & fresh to consume. The newer staff can be a bit more cordial too.

It was a great experience and we went for our team lunch. We are ordered almost all thalis and it is worthy. Must try crab soup and jackfruit ice cream.

Authentic south indian food. Calm and relaxing ambience. Live music by musicians rendering famous tamil songs. Many foreigners visit this place for south indian food due to less crowd and relaxing atmosphere. They change menus quite often. Seen kadainrha keerai first time among the many restaurants we have been to. Desert were absolute clasic. Payasam was very original and tasty. Mukkani ice cream (3 fruits mango, banana, jack fruit) was a never before ice cream flavour and extremely good too.

"Dakshin Restaurant, you nailed it! 😍 Went for the thali and was blown away by the classic, pleasant ambience and authentic South Indian flavors! 👌 Food was very good, service was great! Highly recommend for a taste of the South! #DakshinRestaurant #SouthIndianFood #ThaliLove"

Amazing service, very good food for a foreigner, even tho a bit spicy. I ordered Veg Thali and it was very big, as you can repeat dishes. Nice variety to be able to try different dishes. The decoration is beautiful too!
