This premium restaurant takes immense pride in its identity, rooted in the rich culinary traditions of peninsular India. The highlight of this dining experience is the Chef’s Curated Menus. It is a guided journey through the flavours and traditions of states like Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, and Puducherry. What sets this experience apart is the curation of menus with a choice of vegetarian and non-vegetarian selections.
In a first-ever showcase, Dakshin introduces a ‘No Onion & No Garlic’ set menu, catering to guests with specific dietary preferences. From the comforting Beans Parippu Usli to the tangy and spiced Kara Kozhambu, and a flavourful rice selection from Andhra Pradesh known as Bagala Bhat, the menu is a culinary odyssey. Dessert options include the luscious Elaneer Payasam and Halwa.
