Dakshin

Dakshin is probably more of a 4.5 but I will give them the round up. Great lentil dishes, great tandoori chicken, lamb dishes are solid too, good, cheap nan, good cheap veggie samosas (price definitely helps out here, I hate when nan is $4). Rice is crap, but I never eat it anyway.

Took over an hour to arrive. Called to complain and could not understand a word the person was saying. The food was terrible. Most of the dishes were cold and undercooked. Mango Lasi arrived in a soul bowl - not kidding. The people at Dakshin have no business running a restaurant. Buyer beware!

It is not my top Indian delivery restaurant, howevere I order from Dakshin becaue it is clean, and also the chicken dishes are nice for my daughter, I am not a meet eater so I don't care so much about chicken.

We order from Dakshin at least once a week. The food is reliably fast and consistently delicious. Some days are spicier than others. The naan is always warm and doughy, not thin and burnt as you sometimes find. The location/chef did change recently so the flavor is slightly different than months ago, but still great. The delivery person is friendly and even knocks on our door so as not to wake our children.

it's hard to believe we actually found a good indian restaurant on the upper east side. we're indians so we know indian food. i love the panchrattan daal. my boyfriend loves the low prices. so don't you dare order from "tandoor oven". that place is a joke. stick with dakshin

Problem: I specifically wrote NOTHING TOO SPICY and almost everything I ordered was either too spicy for me to eat or borderline too spicy. I should say i'm extremely sensitive to spicy food, but i eat indian food all the time and am usually fine with dishes like tandooris and mullitgawny soup. I wonder if they misunderstood my instructions and spiced it up instead. Anyhow, other than that, i ordered a number of items, all of which were tasty (best i could tell!) and were delivered hot, with all accompaniments, all nicely wrapped, and arrived promptly.

Food tasted good, delivery was on time, but they hardly give you any rice. Definitely not enough to eat an entire entree.

Have ordered many times from this restaurant. Although food is B/B+, service is C or C- and on several occasions, they missed one part of my order but sent me another extra thing without discussing with me. Normal thing would be to call to let me know if they didn't have anything that i had order and if they can switch it with something else. But they dont bother to let you know and you find out when you open the bag.

I last reviewed this restaurant a year ago, and it's still just as awesome. They're so helpful, and the food is delicious. I love this place! 11/12/11: Great food, and lovely, helpful service. They went out of their way to help me with an order I wanted to alter recently, and their food is always excellent. Quick delivery, too.

i liked one out of 3 dishes. The lamb just wasn't good. The mulligatawny soup, which is One of my favorite Indian items was boring and did not have much flavor. The vegetarian dish I ordered was very good. Delivery was very fast.

This place just re-opened last week in their true location on 89th and 1st. Before that if you ordered from them off seamless Channai was actually filling the order. I've already ordered from here twice since they reopened and am very impressed so-far with the food quality. Both times I've had perfectly cooked meat, good sauces and really excellent Naan. I hope this place keeps it up!

We order the prix fix combo at least twice a week. It's always been great tasting and a good value!
