Dhakshin South Indian Restaurant - Food (NSW)

4 /5 Susma B K: Masala dosa was fresh and tasty, full of flavour. Chicken 65 was good too. Overall, a great experience and the customer service was excellent.

5 /5 Suhas Shikhare: If you’re craving authentic South Indian food in Sydney, Dakshin is an absolute gem! From the moment I took the first bite, I genuinely felt like I was back in India. The flavors were rich, traditional, and packed with the kind of love and spice that you only find at home. I tried a variety of dishes, and each one was spot on – especially the dosas and sambhar, which had that perfect balance of tangy and spicy. The aroma, the presentation, and the taste took me straight to the streets of Chennai or a cozy South Indian home kitchen. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the ambiance was clean and comfortable – nothing too fancy, but exactly what you’d expect in a place that focuses on delivering great food. If you’re missing Indian flavors or just want to experience real South Indian cuisine, Dakshin is the place to go. I’ll definitely be back soon!

5 /5 Kantharaju B A: I had ordered Biryani combo which comes with Chicken Biryani, Chicken 65, raitha and choice of sweet. I had chosen Pistachio Kulfi which tasted really good. I Loved the taste of Chicken Biryani. The chicken 65 was bit salty but tasty. If youre from Bengaluru you will definitely like the Biryani and Chicken 65, I found it similar to what we get in Bengaluru for Biryani and Kebab. Hospitality was very good. The pricing is on premium side.

1 /5 Harper Amorim: 0 out of 10. Avoid at all costs. I ordered two curries through Uber Eats. I received one. Simple maths, and yet somehow beyond this restaurant’s capability. When I called to point out the mistake, a staff member named Dhanush openly admitted the error. Great, I thought, they’ll fix it. Wrong. Instead of doing the bare minimum and sending my missing food, Dhanush told me to reorder through Uber Eats and “go through the complaints process.” Let that sink in. They made the mistake, they acknowledged it, and then they told me to spend more of my time and money to fix their problem. So Dhanush’s proposed solution was for me to pay for the food again, pay the delivery fee again, pay the service fee again, and then sit around waiting all over again, all because he couldn’t be bothered to rectify an error he freely admitted was theirs. Absolutely disgraceful. To top it off, they even misprinted the receipt to show only one curry, despite the order clearly stating two. So not only did they short me on the food, they couldn’t even get the paperwork right. From the kitchen to the front of house, every single person involved in this transaction failed. The chef didn’t check the order. The staff didn’t pack it properly. And Dhanush, who answered my call, had zero interest in customer service, accountability, or basic decency. This is not a restaurant that values its customers. This is a restaurant that takes your money, delivers half your order, and then shrugs when you call them on it. Utterly unprofessional. Completely unacceptable. I would not recommend this place to anyone, under any circumstances, for any reason. Save yourself the headache and order literally anywhere else.

5 /5 Shenny Penny: We came in for an early dinner. The service was a little slow at first, we did book a table. Food came out reasonably fast. We ordered a spinach and paneer curry and a chicken curry of some sort. We also got a biriyani too and some naans. Everything was very tasty, staff was friendly. The food came in generous serving sizes.
