We were visiting from Vancouver and accidentally discovered this place. We were hungry and were looking for a place for breakfast. Dakshin has great dosas, I had south indian brunch thali and my wife had a Mysore Masala dosa both of which were perfect. There was complimentary tea and coffee as well. We met the owners and enjoyed our time there. We will be back!
Love this place.
Authentic south indian food.
Their butter chicken is mind blowing and made from scratch!!!
The Dosa's speak for themselves.
The rasmalai and the carrot halwa are PERFECT!!!
Their time estimates for to go orders are spot on.
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.
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.
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.
Delicious samosas - well be ordering that again! Dosas were tasty but didn’t take away well (not their fault) and saag paneer we didn’t like. Very friendly service.
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!

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!!
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!)
