Dakshin Indian Cuisine

Hidden in a very slow/quiet and near dead strip mall, but wow this place surprises you when you walk in. I would consider this place a hidden jewel to some degree since the parking lot is so dilapidated and is easily overseen.

The interior was rather drab, but my main reason for going to restaurants is not for their interior design.

All in all, the food was very flavorful and I recommend the tandoori chicken. Their naan is the best I have tried thus far. Can't complain. Looks like they have a lunch buffet. I went there for dinner though.

My favorite Indian restaurant outside of Devon Ave. in Chicago.

We started coming here after my first trip to South India 7 years ago -- this restaurant has been under several owners.  I prefer South Indian food over North Indian food, and this restaurant is a little piece of South Indian food heaven for me!

The drabness of the inside doesn't bother me because I've been to India 6 times so I've seen all types of restaurants -- it's the food that counts and the food here is the real deal.  I like that it's spicey and that they don't tone it down for the goras.  In fact, I won't even go into an Indian restaurant if there are a lot of non-Indians eating there because I know the food is for the western palate, not Indian.

Great buffet with ample choice of desserts, unlimited dosas, large menu selection, and REAL South Indian coffee if you ask for it.  The manager is always very attentive and friendly.

We go just about every other week so I can get my fix for authentic South Indian food just like I eat in Chennai.  I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 only because the inside could be spruced up a bit.

I love their buffets..they have unlimted dosas plus they have so many choices in buffet. The only draw back is the place is kind of sad, but overall food & service is good.
