    Presentable and clean restaurant, with nice views from the window seat. The toilets were also clean and presentable.Waiter told me their menu is entirely gluten-free which is greatI felt the food took a while to come, however; there was only one waiter on for this fairly busy lunchtime, and he was competent and professional throughout the entire time; always on the go due to the volume of customers.I ordered the Thali lunch; would recommend the okra dish. Felt the Thali lunch was overly carb-heavy e.g. rice, bread, potatoes (needed more fat and protein). The mango sorbet after the meal was lovely.Overall it was nice; mainly because of the great staff and nice setting, but afraid I am not inclined to rush back.Vegetarian options: Staff here are on the ball and able to accommodate your dietary requirements.Parking: Hard to find spaces in the city centre (especially with the ever-expanding bus lanes and student accommodations)Wheelchair accessibility: It is an upstairs restaurant; not wheelchair friendly.

    This place deserves a star in every category. Fantastic South Indian restaurant in Glasgow! They offer an incredible variety of dosas and other delicious dishes that really hit the spot. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the staff is super friendly. A must-visit if you’re in the mood for authentic dosa and an ice-cold Kingfisher beer!

    Dakhin offer wide variety of South Indian Cuisine. Being from south India I think they got the spice and flavour just right! Idli Sambar is / outstanding. It's very rare to get good Hyderabad Biryani abroad, but Dakhin has got it right. Dakhin Staff are kind and has a good ambience to enjoy food. Its lil pricey and If you don't mind of it ..then yu must hit Dakhin to enjoy your food! .
