British tourist new to India. Stayed the Sheraton and ate at Dakshin. First and foremost, the restaurant was not buzzing or busy when we visited. In fact it was quiet. The service started off a little strange. We are used to waiting staff explaining the menu, but were directed to a QR code link to a website menu which was difficult to review all the options. We were also not given a drinks menu until requested. We eventually managed to speak to the waiting staff who advised they had physical menus, and were presented with a beautiful ornate booklet. I am not sure why they are not leading with this! We also managed to get some advice on food options (because there is a lot of choice). We had masala fried prawns to start. These are really good and strongly recommended. Our mains was a mutton curry which has a light spice level and a very mild chicken curry which is similar to a chicken korma (my girlfriend cannot handle her spice). We enjoyed poppadoms to start with a range of condiment sauces too, which are complimentary.
Our mains came with a side order of rice (there was too much for two people so you’re good to share one amongst 4 people I reckon) and a side portion of paratha (2 pieces) which was so good I ordered another portion. We had glasses of Australian red wine which was nice too.
Overall a good meal but not the same Indian hospitality we have experienced elsewhere (but maybe we went on a bad night). Sorry we usually get more photos than we did this time

With restraunt of this Grade (being part of famed Sheraton), the thing that drives you to it is, not just a singular item, but a collective experience of Food, Ambience, Culture, Service to name some.
Unfortunately service was a BIG let down. To start with, even in OFF peak hour, we were not introduced about the entire variety of Menu and it was left upon us to dig that from service boy. Funny part ~ i realised that they have a physical menu too while billing.
As a part of Thali, we had to ourself remind the person about the desert being part of it.
On positive side – Their menu is quite extensive covering all the Major dishes from all our beloved Souther States. Taste is bit on blanded side(may be to cater multi – national customers).

The experience is phenomenal. As usual ITC food is brilliant. We had the thali and didn’t go for an a la carte. Would suggest to go hungry as the thali has a lot to offer and is huge. There are several varieties of papad, achaar, chutney, the rassam is brilliant, the paniyaram is so soft and crispy at the same time, the Malabar paratha is absolutely yum as is the appam. All the vegetables are great, the potato, the sambhar, the stew, everything is worth repeating. Of course the filter coffee is great. I’m not a big fan of the dessert but I hear it’s quite good too. Definitely would be happy to visit again.

Sunday lunch at Dakshin was an overall pleasant experience with great ambiance and courteous servers in semi-traditional clothes. The menu sports dishes from 4 Southern states of kerala, tamil nadu, andhra pradesh and karnataka. That itself is an education for those who club all as South Indian. We decided to go with the sampoorna veg and non veg thali. Started off with papad and crisps.. with 4 chutneys and one special cabbage chutney. Appetizers masala vada, sweet and savory pancakes and rasam. Marinated dry fish.. Liked the courses being served. The actual thali was overwhelming with chicken, mutton, fish, shrimp, and many veg curries and assortment of rice and biryani. Would have preferred slow servings. Sweet dishes had choices, and we took badaam halwa and basundi. Last topped off with beeda. Filter coffee was awesome.. One needs to come with a serious appetite to fully enjoy the experience..
