Dakshin at New Delhi has similar food to the Sheraton at Chennai. While the food is ethnically authentic , the dishes are over priced. Also surprisingly, they did not have quite a few of the whiskies listed on the menu. The ambience is average . The food is tasteful but the restaurant misses something ;.Je ne sais quoi

Though it is a Pan Asian restaurant, their speciality is more south Indian, for which the prices charged are high, as generally south indian food is perceived to be more pocket friendly. The quality of food was average w/o the wow factor and therfore a bit disappointing. ITC also need to discover the new look ambience, which should be welcoming... More

Great North Indian food but a little too spicy for my pallet. Prices are high. Taxes in India sometimes are more than the actual food bill.

Dakshin is often considered a stalwart in the South Indian restaurant scene. Its reputation is well deserved, since the food, ambiance and service were absolutely spot-on! We went for lunch as a couple with a 4 year old kid. Before writing about their stellar food, I'd like to make a special mention about their service. Our child was treated so... More

She quickly understood our needs and proceeded to lay out a sumptuous meal for us. There were 4 of us and we got to taste almost everything on the Restaurant Week menu. The other staff who waited...

Was here as part of the Restaurant Week India initiative and had the 4 course set menu. We started off with sweet, tender coconut water which whetted our appetite. Next I ordered shrimps cooked in mustard and curry leaves with coconut shavings. The portion was huge and the shrimps were perfectly cooked and spiced. The next course of boneless mutton... More

Loved the food, the condiments and the atmosphere. Dis liked the restaurant being too busy and crowded. A quieter atmosphere would have worked well with the theme.
