Authentic Indian food with rich flavors that truly feel homemade. Prices are very reasonable, making it great value for money. The kid-friendly menu is a big plus for families, and the staff are warm and welcoming. Food is served quickly, which makes the whole dining experience enjoyable. Though it was very busu, because of the Plenty of space, there was no waittime

Authentic Taste, Worth Every Bite
Visited Shri Dakshin today with three friends and I have to say – this was one of the most memorable South-Indian dining experiences I’ve had in Canada. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and seated right away despite the restaurant being lively and busy. The ambiance feels clean, welcoming, and authentic without being overwhelming.
We ordered a variety of items to truly test the menu – Bangalore dosa, masala dosa, ghee dosa, idli-vada combo, along with fresh chutney, sambar, and masala tea. Every single dish felt like it was prepared with intention and tradition.
Food Breakdown:
• Bangalore Dosa – Soft inside, crisp outside, generously filled, flavorful potato masala with just the right spice.
• Masala Dosa – Classic, comforting, and perfectly portioned. The batter tasted fresh and fermented just right.
• Ghee Dosa – Aroma alone could sell this dish. The ghee adds richness without being heavy – golden, crispy perfection.
• Idli-Vada Combo – The idlis were pillowy soft and warm, genuinely melt-in-mouth. The vada had a crisp shell with a fluffy inside; paired beautifully with the chutney and hot sambar.
• Chutney & Sambar – The chutney tasted freshly ground – not bland or watered down. The sambar felt home-made, full of spices and vegetables, almost nostalgic.
• Masala Tea – A must-order. Served hot, perfectly balanced – not too sweet, not too bitter – a strong ending to the meal.
Service:
Staff checked on us multiple times without interrupting and ensured our water and chutneys were refilled. We felt taken care of rather than rushed.
Overall Experience:
Clean environment, fast serving time, and truly authentic flavors. It genuinely felt like a trip to South India . Prices are fair considering the portion sizes and taste quality.
Highly recommended whether you’re craving breakfast, tea-time snacks, or planning a proper meal with friends. We will definitely be returning.
A well-deserved 5/5.

Good Dosa. Nice Spice to it. The service was very good. Very good server. I dont know his name but he guided us quite nicely.
The Dosa was good. The Mysore Masala was amazing spice to it… and the sauces were fresh.
Like the food and appetizers but there is always room for improvement.
However, the atmosphere was too dark. very low light and kind of dull. But overall good experience. Must try Indian place..

The food has been amazing from day one, with consistently great taste and quality. I’d also like to appreciate the service provided by the new staff. Their polite manner, professionalism, and the way they attend to customers truly stand out and make the overall experience even better.

The best dosa you can eat in Canada! Their bangalore masala dosa reminds me of my college days when I used to visit CTR in Bangalore. Same taste

Very disappointing experience. The first dosa they served was completely burnt. I informed the staff and they agreed to change it. But the second dosa was even worse, still tasted bad and looked stale No improvement at all. Waste of time and money.

We’ve been visiting Shri Dakshin for a while now. While the food is decent, we’ve noticed a significant drop in portion sizes recently. The quantities have become much smaller compared to before, which is disappointing given the pricing.
It’s frustrating to see portions reduced like this, especially for regular customers. We hope the management takes this feedback seriously and reviews the portion sizes, as the current value for money doesn’t feel the same as it used to. These idli’s are so small.

We recently visited this restaurant and tried their dosa and idly. The dosa was crispy on the outside and perfectly soft inside, with flavorful chutneys and sambar. The idly was soft, fresh, and well-steamed. Overall, a satisfying South Indian meal. Would definitely visit again! We had a great experience thanks to the wonderful service by Arshiq

Visited the restaurant for a thali on Sri Ram Navami, but we were late, it was out of stock. Ann was really helpful and suggested we can get the same Thali at the non veg branch that they have, after she contacted them to make sure it’s available. We somehow decided to try other options there itself so we ordered punugulu, vada, mirchi bajji and podi idly.The prices are really low if you eat at the restaurant, service is really good, and you can eat more for a reasonable price. We’d like people like Ann to be present to have a good customer experience too. Thank you.
