"This strip-mall joint in Kirkland is easily one of the most underrated Indian restaurants in the Seattle area. In addition to the popular dosas (try the Mysore masala), the gobi manchurian and goat curry are a couple of personal favorites." - Megan Hill

Oh my god we are pigs. Ordered butter chicken, malai kofta, mysore dosa, spicy dosa, manchurian chicken, samosas, mango lassis(lassi was super delish). Everything was great. I cant wait to dine in to try the thali and eat fresh dosa! Hadnt had southern Indian food in ages, woke the tastebuds up. Employees are super polite and helpful.

Delicious Indian food, big portions for a reasonable price, and absolutely LOVELY service. One of the employees noticed how we were sitting in a bit of a cramped fashion and offered to give us more space, and then later on noticed we might need extra plates and offered us some. The service was so attentive and considerate, even though the restaurant was already quite busy. Would recommend it and want to give out this shout out to the Dakshin service!

Great, flavorful food with many vegetarian options, and the service was fast and friendly. I ordered for multiple people, and we all enjoyed our food. The Chicken Manchurian is a little spicy, so people who are sensitive to spiciness should be aware. The Malai Kofta has a creamy, savory flavor; I would definitely order it again. I really liked the paratha and rasmalai in particular. The latter had a unique, refreshing flavor and wasn't overwhelmingly sweet. The other two dishes pictured are goat curry and lamb curry.

Haven’t been to too much Indian restaurant before. The curry lamb is good. The crepe (dosa) is not as expected. The complementary tea is definitely worth a try, I love that tea with sugar! (Regarding the crepe, previously I had thicker and hotter pancake in other Indian restaurants. Would appreciate that if anyone could point out what’s that called. Thanks!)

We ordered chilli chicken Manchurian ,chettinad chicken parota , chicken wrap dosa Chicken wrap dosa was provided with kuruma and raita when I ask then sambar for chicken dosa they said chicken dosa won't go well with sambar and refused to give , I feel that when i asked they should at least have give me sambar respecting my request whether it goes well or not and don't like the way they refused. Chicken used in chettinad chicken for parota and chicken wrap dosa was not at all good it taste like as if they got very old. Basically I can't enjoy eating food in this restaurant today. They have variety of authentic menu items , they can be served better if they improve their quality of food

I have been coming here over the past year. It's a small little place in a square mall in Kirkland. There is plenty of parking space available. They have about 10 tables. The ambiance isn't much, but that's okay! Come here for the food. They serve South Indian preparations. They have some of the better sambar I have had in the US. The dosas are always fresh. Do try their idly vada combo also. We have also tried different curries here. Would recommend the chicken and goat curry. Both have coconut based curries and subtle spices. The meat combos are a really good deal. You get a curry with rice and raita, and you get one side of either idlys, plain dosa, idiyappam, parantha etc. the service is quick too. You basically order at the counter and they will then call out your order. They have complimentary tea and coffee and I have always enjoyed those while waiting for food. It's not a fancy place by any means. The only reason I keep coming back is for food. And that for me is enough reason to keep coming! Try these guys for their authentic South Indian preparations, ditch the butter chicken once, trust me!!

You can't go wrong with this place. One of the best south indian food in the area. My go-to dish here is egg curry(one of the best), Mangalorean chicken, goat curry. Not to be missed - Brunch thali over the weekend, worth every penny. Surprise gift- Chicken biryani, which is available only on certain special days and its amazing, so flavorful and very different than any other biryani restaurants out there. Do try it when its available you won't regret.

What an amazing authentic little place! For every Indian in Seattle who wants to have some genuine no-nonsense South Indian fare, I would recommend driving up to this place. We went there on a Sunday so had a $13 brunch which had idli, vada, Masala dosa, sheera and pongal. Tea and filter coffee is unlimited and free. The guy at the billing counter was really soft spoken and served with a smile. It is self service and quick , but don't go expecting a restaurant vibe. Just go there expecting some real South indian food :)
