We had dakshina’s kitchen catered for my friend’s baby shower. They also supplied fresh dosas which was a highlight of the event. All the food was very tasty. The spice levels were also adjusted for the guests. The service was excellent as well, very good communication. We will definitely get food from here again and also for party catering! Best value for Indian party food.

I ordered food for a small party of 9 people (5 adults and 4 kids) based on a friend’s recommendation, and I’m so glad I did. From the start, they were excellent with communication and patiently guided me on how much food would be sufficient for the group.

I was a bit skeptical and ended up ordering one particular dish in a larger quantity, even though they repeatedly advised that it might be too much. Turns out, they were absolutely right — that dish...

I’m already looking forward to ordering from Dakshina’s again. Amazing selection, generous portions and delicious, delicious food. I got the 555 biryani. I ordered it Spicy, 3/4 level, which honestly was a mistake, but I’m truly pleased that their spicy food is actually spicy. Next time I’ll go with the medium. Fortunately I also ordered the deliciously sweet coconut dessert drink to balance out the heat.
