This has become our families favorite Charlotte-area Indian joint. We have visited about 8-10 times…read morein the past year and have never been disappointed, which is great considering they are the biggest Indian restaurant in the area. Let's begin with the service, which is friendly, helpful and attentive. The cuisine is excellent. They serve both Northern and Southern style and we've tried selections from both. Our go-to dishes are Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani, Butter Chicken, and Chicken Tikka Masala. We also buy a bread basket with a nice mixture of Naan. Again, we've never had anything that wasn't excellent. They also have a varied dessert bar and the entire place is immaculate. It's definitely a Gotta Try!

Okay - so I have been to this restaurant many times and every time the experience and the food…read moretaste differs. 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.

I wish I would've ordered something different than the Jhol Momo - Vegetable (Nepali dumplings in…read moresauce) because they gave me chicken instead. If ordering takeout, that's a dish that you won't be able to check until you're home and cut it open or pop the whole thing in your mouth. And that means if you're a vegetarian, you will be really disappointed because you will either not be able to eat your meal, or you will have to drive out again, meaning that you won't be able to eat with your friends and family by the time you get back. (And if they wait for you, their dishes will be cold.) My friend enjoyed their Aloo Ghobi (potato and cauliflower curry dish). The restaurant smelled fragrant with Indian spices and the staff is immediately inviting and nice! The restaurant appears clean and well-maintained. For those reasons, I'm giving them 2 Stars. However, it is a BIG mistake to switch a vegetarian dish with a meat dish, leaving one person in the group with nothing to eat, so I really cannot justify giving more than that.

I was really in the mood for tandoori chicken but went with the lunch special because it was so much cheaper. It seemed like a lot of food so it was good value in that regard. I just wish the dinner pricing were closer to the lunch pricing. I don't mind paying a little more to get what I really want. The service was fast but it wasn't clear how we were supposed to settle up at the end. There was no bill. After asking we were told to pay at the register. Kind of odd on that regard. I would probably go back someday but there are a lot of alternatives for Indian food in Charlotte.

We stopped in today after noticing we were nearby on the map and decided to give it a try -- and…read moreI'm glad we did! We were warmly greeted and seated right away by Joy herself . She's such a lovely, sunny young woman -- incredibly pleasant to talk to and very responsive to all our questions. We started with mango lassis , one for each of us. I also ordered garlic naan , which is one of my favorites. Since the restaurant specializes in kabobs, I decided to try the garlic chicken kabobs , while my husband went with the veal kabobs . The mango lassi was tasty , though I'd suggest serving it in a glass when dining in -- just a small touch that would elevate the experience. We were also provided with water , which was appreciated, especially with dishes that include rice and bread . My husband's veal kabobs and naan arrived first, followed shortly by my garlic chicken kabobs. The naan did not disappoint -- soft, warm, and full of garlicky goodness . My chicken kabobs were flavorful and came out piping hot , a great sign of freshness. One thing to note for future guests: the kabobs are served without sauce, so don't expect a curry-style dish like tikka masala . We had just two small critiques: 1. The rice served was jasmine, which felt a bit dry and underwhelming. Typically, we're used to basmati rice with Indian cuisine, so this was a noticeable difference. 2. The veal kabobs, though well-seasoned, were overcooked and had a chewy texture . To finish off the meal, I ordered the ras malai -- and wow! It was delicious. I even went back for seconds! The establishment itself was clearly recently renovated . You can tell thought was put into the space -- the color palette was fresh and tasteful, and the overall atmosphere was very clean and inviting . It made for a lovely dining experience from start to finish.

I found a new favorite Indian restaurant! It's so good, I went back in less than one week and…read morebrought someone else ! The first time, I was with my husband. The restaurant has re-decorated and renamed from the Indian restaurant that was here before. It looks very nice and bright inside with beautiful booths that look as if they have crystals nestled into the black fabric. We started off with the chicken samosa. It was delicious ! It reminded me of having a chicken pot pie inside a crispy, puffed pastry. It was served with a tasty green sauce and a tangy brown sauce to dip in. The next time I came, the waiter brought us their special sauce to dip in, and it was even better. It tasted like spicy cilantro and mint. For entrees, my husband ordered the lamb kabobs. They came out sizzling hot, just like you see the fajita meat at Mexican restaurants. They were very good. I got the lamb chetinadu with rice. I asked for it spicy, but it wasn't quite spicy enough. Even my light-weight husband could eat it... so it was definitely weak. They took it back and fixed it, then it was perfect ! (And an entirely different color- it went from brown to a reddish color). I got the garlic naan bread to go with it, but it was not as thick and fluffy as other places. It reminded me of store-bought naan. My only complaint was their mango lassi. It was served in a plastic cup, not a glass, and was really watered down. I doubt I will buy it again. I like it thick and flavorful. Next we tried 2 of the desserts. The first dessert ras malai topped with sliced almonds reminded me of tres leches, except the spongy "cake" was round balls. It was good. The second was carrot halwa topped with cashews. It was ok. Interesting to try different things. They charge extra for credit card, so pay with cash. Also, closely watch what you are being charged. I was almost charged one dollar more than what was listed on the menu for the dessert. I came back 5 days later with my Indian friend and we both got the Hakka noodles (Indo-Chinese). They were very good ! This may be my go-to order. I must say, the Indo-Chinese noodles are better at Aroma because they put more cabbage and carrots, but this was still very good. That would be my suggestion... to add more veg. and they could be just as good. Lastly I tried their mothu kur laddu for dessert. I really enjoyed it. Note this item said $5 on the menu, but I was charged $6 upon check out. I caught it, and it was corrected. My Indian friend was not impressed with the dessert selection. She said most are likely from a can at the store. I personally don't know any different so to my little American self, it was fine. Overall, I'll probably become a regular here. Thinking about inviting a group to join me next week !
