" The restaurant’s ambiance was nice, but I wasn’t thrilled with the food. I tried the biryani, expecting a nice kick of flavor, but was slightly disappointed. The server was attentive, which was a plus, but the overall experience felt flat. Maybe I’ll give it another try, but this time I’ll go with a recommendation if I do. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Dakshin was a wonderful experience! The flavors authentically represent South Indian cuisine. I really enjoyed the spicy chicken curry paired with their soft naan. The ambiance of the restaurant is calming and enhances the dining experience significantly. The prices were also impressive, especially for the quality and portion sizes. My family and I will surely return to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was not impressed with my experience at Dakshin. The tacos seemed like an odd fusion, and the food could have been seasoned better. I tried the bhel puri expecting something specific, and it was bland, to say the least. However, the staff was really nice and seemed eager to please. Honestly, I think I will stick with what I know in Indian restaurants and may not return unless someone insists. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dakshin is okay but I expected better. I had the goat biryani and while it was decent, I felt it could use a bit more seasoning. The service was average, not super attentive but not entirely dismissive either. I enjoyed the atmosphere—it was cozy and inviting—but I'm not convinced enough to return right away. Maybe for some takeout? " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been obsessed with Dakshin since my first visit! The curries are incredibly flavorful, and their unique offerings such as the coconut rice are not something I've found anywhere else. Each time I've gone has been a great experience with friendly staff and an inviting atmosphere. Their vegan options are fantastic for anyone looking for lighter fare. Finally, their chai deserves a shout-out—rich and comforting. Can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an unexpected adventure at Dakshin. I was hoping for a quick takeout meal after a long day but ended up enjoying a full sit-down dinner with excellent service. I loved the chole puri—it was available on the specials menu and simply divine. I did notice that they had an extensive menu covering a variety of South Indian cuisine, which is refreshing. Service? Five stars! Really friendly and attentive. I might just bring my family next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a positive experience at Dakshin. The ambiance is inviting, and the staff was courteous. I tried the chicken tikka masala and was pleased with the level of spice—it was just right for my palate. The menu is quite extensive, offering something for everyone. I particularly enjoyed the server's recommendations, which made my meal feel personalized. I will likely be coming back to take advantage of their lunch specials. " (*Curated Review*)
