The biggest put off at a restaurant can be to be served food with DIRTY cutlery on the side which speaks a lot about the mediocre hygiene standards of the restaurant and probably the kitchen. For reference I have attached a photo of the dosai that I ordered which was served with dirty spoons. Also, to note is the next to inexistent customer service at the restaurant which is so poor and irresponsive. Everyone from their staff is just sitting inside the kitchen ignorant of the diners and no ones around to help with additional orders and you might find yourself walking up to their desk every time

The food was good in parts. They've come up with a few interesting twists on some humdrum items eg using green apple to make a quick pickle instead of raw mango was a nice touch. One thing which left an impression was the speed of service, we got our orders lightning fast! However was not sure whether it was a good thing or bad thing. Other customers ( caucasians) seemed to be getting their dishes much slower and one at a time while we got all our stuff (entree, mains and beverages) in one go. The portion size relative to most other Indian restaurants is below average

Lovely service and great food. Being from
the U.K I’m always on the lookout for good
Indian restaurants. This is definitely one of the best I’ve been to in Sydney. It’s got both authentic and classic dishes to choose from. Staff are friendly and there was a nice cosy atmosphere.

Looking for some good Indian food and customer service? You're not going to find that here!
Ordered takeaway and headed home to find out the naan was completely burnt and inedible.
Returned to the restaurant after eating the mediocre, tiny sized portion of tikka masala and chicken tikka to request a refund for the inedible naan.
My partner explained that the naan was burnt and requested a refund to the front of house to whom then said "no refunds". We did not travel back just to give feedback when clearly requesting a refund on the naan that was clearly not edible (strong burnt smell from the

Hands down the best South Indian food in Sydney and one of the best for North Indian food in the lower North Shore.
The chef is excellent and adds his own unique twist to some of the dishes.
The Dosas and Chicken 65 are a "must try"

Dum biryani and plain dosa were really nice and was worth the price. Strong hopper topped with crab was a disappointment for $25. Stringhoppers weren’t fresh, there wasn’t enough crab and any flavours to blow your mind. Desserts were nice specially watalappan, wasn’t too sweet but kulfi tasted a lot like condensed milk.

This restaurant is located in Crows nest and has a relatively decent ambiance in terms of capturing "South India". Have been here several times now. The food has been consistently good and have mainly had the Meen Mocchai Kozhambu with steamed rice. Have tried a couple of Entree's like Kundapur Lasooni Squid but found the serving size a bit disappointing. Overall a good place to go too, but feel its a bit overpriced.

Amazing dinner experience today at Dhakshin. We were a group of 6 people (my husband and his relatives are Indian). We ordered various veg and non veg options. All the food was delicious. Lovely atmosphere and excellent service. Thanks for the Royal Dhakshin YouTube channel too!
