I'm personally not too well versed in Indian food, but Dakshin is definitely worth trying! Store is a little small, and service isn't too prevalent (orders are placed on kiosk). However, the butter chicken, naan, and biryani were great! Would recommend going with friends and sharing family style for the most food variety

If you want tons and tons of options, go across the street. But I get considerably better food (in my opinion) from here when ordering the basics! Butter chicken, tikka masala, naan, etc. And the price is much better here! Good portions too. Gonna miss this place when I move away!

Vegetarian options: I've eaten here with vegetarians many times, they're always happy!

Small place but great food and service. Especially the price point and the quantity is equally perfect for single visitors or group.

Lovely experience. Hadn’t expected at all since it was near the university.

Vegetarian options: You get many vegetarian options and also all kinds of spice levels ??
