Dakshin Culture Curry Speciality South Indian Restobar

A school friend sent me a reel about Poe and Pao in Chembur. I decided to go chasing Poe and Pao. Since I was already in Bandra, I thought I’d try their Matunga outlet instead. Now, if you’re a true-blue Mumbaikar, you know traffic jams aren’t an inconvenience, they’re a lifestyle. So there I was, stuck in the middle of one, wishing for a restroom more than anything else. When I finally reached, they said, “Go next door.” I stumbled into Dakshin Culture Curry and found the cleanest restroom in Mumbai. Small, but spotless. You can’t do pranayama there, but you’ll definitely come out feeling zen. Feeling human again, I stepped out… and somehow found myself in Diva Maharashtracha. For a moment, I thought I’d taken a wrong turn in life. That’s when someone explained that Dakshin Culture Curry, Goa Portuguesa, and Diva Maharashtracha are a trilogy, same team, shared menu, different cuisines. And Poe and Pao? The latest addition to the family. One look at the menu, and I knew there was no way I was walking back to Poe and Pao. I started with a Sushegad Shot (feni, lime, and kaffir leaves) - Goa in a glass. Then came the Khekade Kalimiri Soup, a crab-and-black-pepper combo that doubles as a natural sinus reliever. After that, Ravas Moile, Tender Coconut Cashew Nut Sukke (their signature dish), Chicken Modak, and Appam n Amboli. The Chicken Modak was the surprise star—moist chicken kheema wrapped in a soft, pillowy coating. Though, between us, it did look slightly jaundiced. They ended the meal with complimentary Caramel Custard—light, soft, and just the right sweetness. The staff were courteous and attentive, the ambience warm and welcoming. Ambience: A+ Food: A+++ What started as a quest for Poe and Pao turned into a delicious detour, a reminder that some of the best finds in Mumbai happen purely by serendipity.

Had an Amazing time at Diva Maharashtracha. Finger licking authentic flavourful food. Lovely ambiance. Great service and absolutely Awesome owners! Extremely jolly and grounded! Will come back again very soon!

Being able to eat live appam was such a delight. Something that only our mothers make. Their Veg Koshambo was truly authentic and we loved the Paneer Mushroom Pepper Fry.

Very calm and relaxing place to eat. Music is pleasant and makes conversation easy. Food tastes great and employees are eager to please to make sure everyone has a great experience. Mr. Mitesh suggest good foods and service is also great. Very hardworking guy👍🏻 1 Mix vegetables croquettes 2 Serradura

We ordered the chicken 65, rachiado surmai with neer dosa and appam. We got the gulab jamun and caramel custard for dessert. The tendli pickle was especially nice, and the food was good too. The assortment of different cuisines was really interesting.

Though it is famous for non-vegetarian people. Being a fully vegetarian person, I really enjoyed the food. The ambience is nice, service is good. You might have to wait in queue due to its high demand. Sol curry is must have here.

Dakshin culture specializes in various South Indian dishes. The ambience is so quaint and beautiful. The bright lights and soft music makes it so peaceful and enjoyable. The menu has vast range of dishes, with fish preparations, chicken, mutton. Their motto is that South Indian cuisine is much more than Idlis and Dosas. What we ordered: In Starters 🍢 🔸Fish Fry Porichaphu 🐟❤️ This was a very tempting dish. Pomphret which was nicely marinated was served in red masala and fried. It had a nice tangy sweet taste. The covering was crisp with hint of spices and the sauce served along was tangy sweet. A must try! 🔹Spice Rubbed Rawas ❤️💯 Rawas fish marinated with spices and yogurt and nicely grilled. The flavors were soaked in the fish. The dish was so well prepared that all I wanted to eat was this yummy Rawas. My new favorite. In Cocktails 🍹 🔸Cosmopolitan 🍸❤️💯 Our usual favorite. This Cocktail was well prepared. Just the way I like it. Nothing can ever go wrong with Cosmo. Went perfectly well with the starters. 🔹Mango Margarita 🍹❤️ This was tangy sweet due to the mango flavor but again a yummy boozy drink. Well served with sugar coated at the rim. It was an eye candy. In Mains 🍛 🔸Prawns Manglorean Sukkha 🍤❤️💯 This was a delight. If you want something light to go with your breads then this is it. This was so flavorful and tasty. Hint of all the spices nicely marinated in prawns. The prawns were in good number and juicy. 🔹Chicken Chettinad 🍲❤️❤️💯 This was the best Chicken Chettinad. Spicy and tasty, with so many flavors. I could eat it everyday. Just like homemade gravies but much more flavors and spices. Too yum. A must must try here. 🔸Malabar Paratha It was served hot and crisp. Went really well with Chettinad gravy and the chicken pieces. 🔹Appam ❤️ They've a special counter to make appams. And my mum loved it to the core that through out the meal she had more of appams. Beautifully made and served steaming hot. 🔸Neer Dosa Soft and light. Non sticky and thin slices. The beauty of neer dosa. Just perfect. In Desserts 🍦 🔹Shahi Tukda ❤️ Fried bread stuffed with rabdi. The rabdi was so so good. Specially made by the chef. It was full of rich milky flavors. 🔸Watalappam 🍮❤️💯 Similar to our beloved custard but a famous South Indian dessert made from Coco and jaggery. Only if you taste it then only you can understand what I'm saying. It was so soft and tasty. Loved it! The service is a bit slow, but once you taste the food you'll be on a joy ride. The food is so well prepared and so delectable. Each dish is pretty unique and delicious. It is a melange of flavors dancing in your mouth. The servers are well trained and will help you with your selections. You'll definitely leave with a happy stomach and a smile on your face.

Dakshin Culture Curry is a great place for experiencing some traditional and authentic South Indian dishes. Its a part of 3 restaurants which are under a single roof along with Goa Portuguesa and Diva Maharashtracha. The ambience is also very pretty. The food served here had that authentic touch and was very flavourful. We had Andhra Chicken and Pepper Prawns Fry for starters, the taste was simply amazing. Melon Cooler was a fresh and delicious mocktail. Chicken Chettinad is a must try here with freshly made Appams..it was mouth-watering. Ended the meal with the classic Shahi Tukda! Staff was very courteous and helpful. The owner is also very friendly. Service is good too. Overall a great place to enjoy your meal with friends and family. Must visit!
