Food: Everything here appears to be made with care, retaining the taste and way it was always done. Must try: Mukkani and filter coffee :) Variety: Decent Service: Excellent. You could already sense that the staff is well trained to people of all kinds with respect and with a smile Price: Value for money considering the ambience and treatment you receive along with the food. Ambience: Traditional decor with Live classical music. On the day I visited, they played ”Narumuhayein“ from ” Iruvar“. I could not have asked for more

Dakshin at Crowne Plaza. Had the Thali and the waiters were excellent. They explained everything and suggested things for us. The thaali itself was really good. We couldn’t even finish it. They kept prodding us to try more. Really good ambience and decor too. The live music was a plus!

Hi Foodies, Visited the place for some evening bites, the place is located just in front of prestige college and the ambience of the place is unique and different, they have all the roof covered with colourful umbrellas with small lights, which looks really attractive and beautiful, when looked at from far. Additionally they have a big board with there name at the corner, which is quiet a selfie spot at that place.

One of the best South Indian restaurants in the city. Every dish here tastes good. We are big fans of their vegetarian thali. The food is always lip smacking. The decor is outdated and it gets very crowded even during weekdays. The service becomes very slow once the place is crowded but other than that no complaints cos the food makes up for it. My favorite part of the meal is the dessert. The 3 fruit ice cream and paal payasam are hands down the best. One tip- Call and make a reservation ahead even during weekdays.

Since this is my first visit to South India, it was important to me to have an excellent meal representing the local cuisine. Based on other reviews, Dakshin looked perfect, and it was! Located in the Crowne Plaza Hotel, this elegant restaurant is beautifully decorated with Hindu paintings and sculptures, including a 6-foot bronze Shiva Nataraja. As soon as we were seated, friendly servers were at our table. We were brought cool damp cloths — so refreshing on this warm day! — then brought pappadam with five kinds of chutney. We ordered one vegetarian thali and one non-veg thali, and the soup and appetizers that came next reflected those choices: pieces of crispy fried chicken breast, chicken soup, vadai, and tomato soup. These were excellent, and the thalis themselves were superb. The individual dishes change daily. We were served a variety of meat dishes (lamb curry, spicy prawns, and a chicken dish) and vegetable dishes, types of rice, yogurt, paratha, and idiyappam. The veg thali substituted pumpkin, banana chips, and another veg korma for the meat dishes. Dessert was also exquisite, with warm payasam and mango, jackfruit, and banana ice cream. At the end of the meal, we were brought a colorful green betel leaf wrapped around areca nut and slaked lime. While this is not something I enjoy, my dining partner reported that it was very refreshing. It is said to aid digestion, as well. The service was perfectly timed, warm, and attentive without being intrusive. We could not have asked for a better dining experience.

One of the best South Indian restaurants Crab soup here is simply the best. You can find it anywhere else. Prawns fry also next level. Ambience also is very good you feel peace with South Indian flute playing in the background. My visit to Chennai is never complete without visiting this restaurant I always go for the thali
