Dakshin New Delhi

Dakshin isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a journey across southern India without leaving Delhi. From the fragrant curries to the elegantly spiced biryanis, from candlelit evenings to sunlit lunches, every experience here immerses guests in the soul of South Indian cuisine. It’s a destination for those who crave depth, detail, and flavor in every bite.




Dakshin Sheraton Review


AMBIENCE

The moment one steps into Dakshin, it tells you this is not going to be one of the local New Delhi restaurants; it is an experience. Handcrafted wood carvings and gold-toned motifs greet your eyes immediately upon entering, reflecting the artistic soul of southern India. Traditional elements, like ornate furniture and soft lighting, somehow make the space immediately welcoming without being loud or flashy. The design invites diners to sit back and relax-whether they're escaping a hot Delhi afternoon or settling in for a long dinner. You might even notice subtle hints of temple aesthetics, such as brass lamps and calm floral decor elements, which bring quiet cultural authenticity to the space. It feels, all in all, like a warm yet elegant welcome, be it for a family dinner, a business meal, or that special night out in Saket.

Dakshin Sheraton Food 


FOOD

What makes Dakshin different in Saket is the fact that it celebrates South Indian regional cuisine rather than just plain South Indian food. Here, dishes come from Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Karnataka, and Telangana, each with its unique whisper of spice, coconut, rice, and lentils. You start off with crisp vadais, crackling delightfully outside, melting in the mouth, then move on to soulful curries that hint at coastal breezes and spice markets. The menu includes pan-fried seasonal fish in tangy lemon and chilli, rich chicken curries simmered with coconut, and hearty Andhra biryani that hits just the right note of heat. Even breads, appams soft and spongy, parottas layered and flaky, have been crafted with love and are meant to mop up every last sauce on your plate. Every bite feels like a little surprise, reminding you that South Indian food can be just as bold and layered as any other cuisine in this city.

Dakshin Sheraton Menu


Presentation is as important as flavour at Dakshin. The plates arrive alive with color and texture: steaming curries beside perfectly fluffed rice, glossy chutneys served with a crunchy papad, and desserts that look too lovely to eat. The chefs of the restaurant are proud to weave tradition into every dish-and in every bite, Andhra-style lentil concoctions taste thick with soil and minerals, Kerala stews feel like a warm hug on a cold day, Karnataka classics boast richness from coconut upon coconut. Even the likes of filter coffee, strong, dark, aromatic, feel special here, sipped gently as the final note of a rich meal. Each flavour feels so rooted in place and history; it is as though the plate carries whispers of kitchens from down the southern coastline all the way up to Saket's District Centre.




Dakshin Sheraton Drinks


DRINKS

While Dakshin is renowned for its food, its drinks warrant equal enthusiasm. Strong filter coffee is brought piping hot, with a hued, aromatic flavor that immediately conjures South Indian mornings. Fresh coconut water and buttermilk add light, cooling elements that help offset the spiciness of the curries. For cocktail enthusiasts, it has curated a selection that beautifully matches its bold menu with delicate infusions so as not to overwhelm the food but rather complement it. Fresh juices, seasonal, with variations of lassi and homemade sharbat pay a modern tribute to classic flavors. Each drink in Dakshin is well thought out, thus being able to say with so much certainty that every sip will further elevate the meal rather than squabble with it.

OUR RECOMMENDATIONS

A few dishes should not be missed in their entirety for the Dakshin experience. Crisp vadais and idiyappams with coconut milk set the stage for heavier curries. The rich, spicy, and deeply satisfying Kori Gassi is a Mangalorean preparation of chicken curry. Andhra-style biryani is another fragrant and layered wonder of perfect spice. A few favourites to start with are: Kaadai Thengai Curry Chettinad Chops Andhra Kodi Biryani Coffee Appam
