After finding this restaurant due to small concealed entrance on this bustling busy street we were not disappointed to say the least.

On entering the restaurant at the top of the staircase we were pleasantly surprised as it opens up into a large atmospheric area that the aromas were circling around our heads.

The young waiter who attended to us was excellent in many ways and we weren’t disappointed that the vast array of food that was available to us

Once we had chosen the delicious food started to arrive and we certainly were not going to be disappointed.

Once we polished of our food and drinks we sat and chatted and weren’t rushed in any way to exit our table so don’t hesitate to go along and experience this lovely restaurant snmaci bang in the merchant area of Glasgow you’ll enjoy the experience

Authentic Indian food served with love. Amazing taste and must try rice kheer... dosa were as similar to what you get in india. Nice to hangout in evenings but check the closing timings as most of the restaurants closes early in Glasgow

Good south Indian food. We ordered set menu and it had decent options. I chose spicy food as my palate accepts that and to be honest I didnt expect that much heat in it, so loved it. Dosa, Utthapam, curd rice etc as a side was really good. Quantity of main bus good but side was a little less. Ambiance was good. It was a little pricy may be because of the overall package.
Adding one pic taken by one of my colleagues.

There's never any harm in trying new food. OK that's not strictly true. If you have a shellfish allergy, don't try Langoustines thinking they aren't just a big prawn. . But generally experiencing new food is great, we love to check out different approaches to old classics, or discovering unpronounceable dishes from far flung, foreign countries, like Koornish Paztee. When Barney said we were off for a curry I had visions of Chicken Tikka Saag and a Keema Naan. But, No. Barney said “I don't do cooncil curry” (which is just the sort of shocking pretentiousness I have to put up with from him) and insisted we were going somewhere a bit different.

Visited Dakhin on a Sunday evening after reading through all the great reviews this place has garnered.. the place was quite empty , so no issues in getting a table..
Very disappointed with Vada and coconut chutney..The Vada was not fresh (microwaved/reheated?) and the chutney seem to have been served straight out of refrigerator

Anyways, the disappointment ends there (thankfully!)Sambar was excellent.. piping hot and very flavorful..so were my appam and chicken stew..the staff/service was quite excellent as well.

Gluten-free tasty food in the Merchant city. Well-located on Candleriggs but easy to miss due to its upstairs location is the amazing South Indian restaurant Dakhin, sister restaurant to Dhabba on the same street.  How it took so long for us to come here I don’t know. They are listed in the UK Michelin Guide as simple standard food.  Once you find your way in (it’s directly above Bar 91) it’s straightforward.

Why has it taken me so long to come here? It doesn't look much from the outside however inside is the most delicious and fragrant food. Light flavours none of this swamped with the same standard sauce stuff. All gluten free as well.

Dakhin's food is really delicious, definitely my favourite Indian restaurant!
It's not your typical Glasgow Indian restaurant - the menu is Southern Indian cuisine. This means no naan bread but definitely try the dosa!
The lamb and prawn starters are my two favourites!
The flame grilled lamb and chicken are cooked perfectly, and great along with their coconut rice, poondu spicy sauce and nilgiri cool coconut sauce. Amazing! Not always a massive fan of hot food but with one of their mango lassi's this is the perfect combination!

A life spent avoiding gluten often ends up defaulting to curry when eating out, as it's usually safe. Which is not to say I'm a massive connoisseur of the cuisine, but I've certainly had a lot of the stuff. This was AMAZING. 

The whole menu is gluten free (and celery, lupin, nut, sulphur dioxide, mollusc and soya free SAY WHAAAT?) and about half of it it vegetarian. That's impressive for a start. My gluten-happy dinner companion was disappointed by the lack of naan until his food arrived and then he couldn't stop shovelling the food into his mouth. Having never encountered the breads on offer, Sada Dosa was a whole new world of excitement and oral delight.

It seems that South Indian cuisine is a little different to what we think of as 'curry'. There was no slick of oil on the food, and we were excited by the layers of subtle flavours in the dishes.  Starters and mains were delicious and moreish, with none of the too-common slabs of half cooked vegetables to bulk up the meat dishes. 

My only complaint it that it's in Glasgow, but it was so good that I'd be tempted to make a trip specially.

This was our first time here tonight, we thought we would give it a go due to the fact they are 100 per cent gluten-free. They didn't disappoint. My partner and I loved the food. It was so delicious, full of flavour. Service was quick and all the staff were friendly. I can't wait to come back and try some more dishes.

Wonderful food, wonderful service. Really fantastic variety of dishes. We had a table for 12 including 5 children and everyone had a great time. The staff are very helpful and courteous and they obviously take immense pride in making and serving the very best food.

Fantastic south indian! Watch-out for the spices! First time here and I was a little intimidated reading some bad reviews. I ordered the Chettinad chicken and appams. Man, it was fantastic! Totally worth a visit!

I loved the food, it was delicious. First time I ate something really authentic South Indian food in Glasgow. Price is little higher but compared to quality it’s worth it.

Enjoyed a delicious meal here on a Tuesday night, taking advantage of their 10% student discount. Wasn't familiar with any of the dishes (not your average Indian takeaway) but I had a prawn curry with Coconut rice which was amazing.

Best Indian restaurant in the UK! I have had many Indians in cities including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Edinburgh, Sheffield, Newcastle, and many more but this is my favourite. The spices and flavour were the very best, and the location + interior were amazing. I must admit I came in after the busy hour, so they were not super busy, but it was exceptional in every way. Highly recommend.

I and my friends recently visited this restaurant in Glasgow. One of the best ambience I have seen in Uk. Coming to food, you can find authentic Indian taste and it’s definitely worth for what you pay. Staff are very friendly, and thanks to chef Anil who personally recommended paneer Dosa and mango lassi which were too good than expected. I have tried chicken biryani and veg biryani which reminded me of Hyderabad biryani. Going to come back for sure and people who are in or going to visit Glasgow…. you must definitely try food from Dakhin. All the best entire team and thanks for hosting us.

Interesting idea of having a tasting package in which you get to try various dishes. Really good for a group of 4-5. Service is fast and friendly and portion sizes are average. Likely great for a family outing. Definitely not cheap but also not overly expensive.

Great food, staff are friendly and good location. The selection of tester menus is fantastic. The restaurant is nut and gluten free. They have a selection of Dosas (the big crispy pancake). Will be back again.
