We were a…read morelittle hesitant walking into the restaurant since both the parking lot and the dining area looked empty. However, the staff was warm and welcoming and we were seated immediately. The food arrived within 15 minutes of ordering. The Malabar parotta and mutton biryani (made with zeera samba rice) were a pleasant surprise. It came with raita and kurma- brought back fond memories of Tamil Nadu. The mango fish curry was finger-licking good, but the crab pepper masala was just okay. The person who brought out the food(I believe he was the chef) was very polite and professional. The bill came to around $90 including tip. Although I felt the food was slightly overpriced, the quality of the food, ambience, and service made it worth every penny. I'd definitely come back again, especially on a Sunday to try their live appam and paya.

Staff moving at the speed of a snail on annual leave, no communication, just vibes (bad ones). Order was wrong (shock), chips were cold, drink tasted like it needed counselling. Courtney was starving and trying to be polite because she's a good girl, but I could tell she was disappointed and as a MOTHER that's where I draw the line. No apology, no urgency, no pride. If you don't want to work here then don't, but don't take it out on paying customers and their children. Courtney deserves better and frankly so do I. Sort it out. -- Sharon x

However, I'm basing my review here on my most recent visits in last 10 days - Visit 1:- when Dakshin started their weekend buffet, we went on 3rd March - first weekend of buffet. It was chaotic is an understatement. There was no order in which appetizers were lined up - one could literally go left or right after picking a clean plate -- this was creating a HUGE chaos. Also the area where plates were kept was a doorway of some sort so there were people congregating. Food itself was okay - not the best buffet food I've had - but the experience itself made me not want to go for next helping. By the end of our meal, place (esp the entrance) was stinking bad of floor cleaner! Yuck! Visit 2:- I literally tried hard to give this place a second chance by trying their weekday buffet - assuming there would be less foot traffic given a Monday (11th March). Flyers and IG posts all promotes start time of 11:30AM. We reached there at 11:30AM. Staff said they will be ready in 5-min. We were okay to wait. It was then 11:50 and there was no sign of readiness. I had to go ask the staff member why there is a delay and reiterate that it beats the purpose of quick buffet on a weekday lunch if they are taking so long to just get ready! Staff advised us to get started while they are still placing some of their dishes (such a naan/bread). Again - the experience was bad. Food was okay again. Stink of floor cleaner was very much there. I am never giving this place my money again! Worst ever experience.

The menu offers a variety of options. We started with fried broccoli as appetizers- the sweetness driven by honey was good. Butter chicken was recommended and we also had a chef's lamb. Both were pretty tasty but I would go with butter chicken if I had to choose. Mango lassi has cream and cherry - can tell it's fusion, nice for photos but really unnecessary. Spicy level is very mild. Range 1-5, I cannot taste any spicy when we ordered a 3. Recommend to go with higher levels if you want a real spicy dish. Also, T-mobile has barely any signal in the restaurant. AT&T and Verizon work fine.

Great dining area that was clean and welcoming, fantastic staff and some of the best Thai food We've ever had.

We decided while we live in a different part of the city this place is worthy of a special trip to come back. We will be back...Thank you for a great lunch!!

I came by on 6/19 and was sat with no wait at a booth in their bar area. The waitress was very nice and held multiple roles (greeter, waitress, bartender, cashier etc). After ordering she brought us out a complementary sample of some of the best soup I've ever had. The broth was packed with flavor and it had little pieces of tofu in it. I would go back just for the soup alone. The food was equally as good. I ordered the Cashew nut lunch entree that came with white rice. Again, full of flavor and only mildly spicy as I can't handle much heat. Served steaming hot and with a decent portion size. I will definitely be adding this restaurant to my list of places to return. *Sorry for the poor picture quality. The place was dimly lit and I was super hungry so I didn't prioritize photos on this one.

My parents got a paper masala dosa and enjoyed it. I split a spring dosa, chole puri (they were out of bathura), and a Manchurian roll with my husband and brother. We could not eat the spring dosa because it was way too spicy for both me and my brother, but my husband could handle the heat. My kids were still hungry after the dosa and I got them an order of idli. The mango lassis are some of the best I've had recently! It's a very bare bones type of vibe, and that's ok as long as you're not expecting anything fancy. The people that work there are kind, but you can tell that they're feeling pressure while working. When in the area, we'd definitely come back here.

The Chole Bhature is my absolute favorite dish as chickpea is among my favorite legume. The Curry is done in a way that's hard to pass up. It is medium spiced you can request a toned down spice.

The lady was a fan of the Mysore Dosa, which a large rice paper(thin) pancake rolled with spices, some chutney(salsa/sauce/ in the middle and spiced potato on top.
