Dakshin South Indian Bistro - Kirkland

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!

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!

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!!

I absolutely love this restaurant! They serve authentic South Indian cuisine. Their butter chicken is incredible and made from scratch! The dosas are fantastic as well. The rasmalai and carrot halwa are simply perfect! Additionally, their estimated preparation times for takeout orders are very accurate.

I had a wonderful experience at the restaurant with delicious, flavorful food and plenty of vegetarian options. The service was quick and friendly, which was a plus. I ordered for a group, and everyone enjoyed their meals. The Chicken Manchurian has a bit of spice, so those who are sensitive to heat should take note. The Malai Kofta had a rich, creamy flavor that I would definitely order again. I particularly enjoyed the paratha and rasmalai. The rasmalai had a unique and refreshing taste, without being overly sweet. The other two dishes I tried were goat curry and lamb curry.
