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.

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.

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.

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!

We had an excellent experience at Dakshin. We ordered the special Thali and every single item was absolutely delicious and full of authentic flavor. The ambience was wonderful with live classical music. The service was top-notch as well. Vishnu, our waiter was pleasant and attentive. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great South Indian food with serene atmosphere and excellent service.

We went there for Sunday lunch and had one of the best experiences in recent times. The food, ambience and most importantly the service were all excellent. Calm and pleasant music, beautiful ambience and delicious food! We had a vegetarian thali, non veg thali and the other two of us ordered a few other items from the menu card. All the dishes tasted amazing, especially the banana dosa. Requires a special mention. The chutneys served were all unique and each had a distinct taste. Will definitely be back to try more dishes off the menu card.
