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 travelled to Seattle for couple days. I tried many indian restaurants but came back to this multiple times. Staff was very sweet. Food was really good. They always gave samples for sweet to try which was amazing aswell.

I didnt find their food drooling in oil like how i found it in other restaurants. And the food felt fresh. We also used their 1+ 1 for biryanis couple times. Also they add jalapeños pretty much in everything , it wasnt a pblm for me but you can still tell them to add less/ or not. They customize for you aswell.

We went to Mt Reiner and enjoyed our food with the views. I def recommend this restaurant.

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.

Dakshina’s Kitchen made this Onam truly special with their exquisite and authentic Sadhya. Every dish—from the comforting Parippu Curry to the rich Ada Pradaman—was packed with traditional flavor and beautifully prepared. The pickup in Bothell was smooth and well-coordinated, making the whole experience hassle-free. I’m so glad I decided to order. Highly recommend for anyone craving a genuine Kerala celebration!

We ordered food from Dakshina’s Kitchen for our Diwali party, including both veg and non-veg biryani, a variety of gravies, parotta, and carrot halwa for dessert.

Every dish was incredibly tasty and authentically prepared — we all loved the delicious spread and truly felt it was a feast!

The carrot halwa is an absolute must-try — it just melts in your mouth

The food was delivered on time and neatly packed in an insulated box, keeping everything fresh and warm.

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed both the food and the service. I would highly recommend Dakshina’s Kitchen to everyone!

We recently used Dakshina’s Kitchen for an office event centered around a nature walk, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. They were incredibly accommodating of our customized preferences, especially with the healthy dietary restrictions we requested.
The food was delivered right on time, directly to the event location, which made everything seamless. Every dish was flavorful and well-prepared—everyone at the event genuinely enjoyed the meal. The team was also very responsive throughout the process, making coordination easy and stress-free.
Payment was straightforward, and the pricing was reasonable given the quality and service provided. Overall, I highly recommend Dakshina’s Kitchen for any professional or personal event where great food and reliable service are a priority.

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 was barely touched because there was already plenty of food. Lesson learned: always trust the experts

Most importantly, the food was delivered right on time, tasted excellent, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. Overall, a great experience and I would definitely recommend them for parties and gatherings.

My experience ordering from House of Chettinad was overall decent, but with a few areas that could be improved upon. Firstly, it’s worth noting that this is a cloud/ghost kitchen, so there’s no seating available and it’s strictly takeout and delivery. It would have been helpful if this information was made clearer on the website or elsewhere.

Moving on to the food, we ordered the Chicken dum biryani and Chicken 65. While the biryani rice was flavorful and reminiscent of authentic biryani, the chicken in both dishes was disappointingly dry. It lacked the tenderness and freshness that would have elevated the meal. Additionally, despite our request for the chicken 65 to come with gravy, it arrived dry, ignoring our comments in the order.

We placed our order through their website and appreciated the convenience of receiving a link on our phone once the food was ready for pickup at the designated station at CapHill Kitchens.

Overall, while there were some shortcomings in our experience, I’m hopeful that our comments will be addressed for a better experience in the future.

We ordered food for our Diwali party after hearing great reviews from my mother-in-law and her friends. Everyone loved it — the food was fresh, delicious, and the portions were perfect based on his guidance. We truly appreciated the service as well.

This new spot just opened, and I believe it’s part of a chain of takeout-only restaurants. Honestly, I didn’t have high expectations, but I ordered the Chicken 65 Biryani, and it was incredible! It’s the first Indian restaurant in Seattle where I found the flavors truly authentic. It’s not exactly cheap, but the biryani is amazing. A quick tip: order ahead and pick it up there. I’ll definitely be returning!

UPDATE —

I’ve ordered from this place several more times, but the quality and taste of the food have been inconsistent, which is why I’ve removed a star. Not sure what’s going on lately.
