Dakhin in Glasgow City

An excellent South Asian restaurant. Totally Gluten and nut free. We were welcomed very warmly and given a lovely window table. Menu is extensive and everything was very appealing. Poppadums and pickles were excellent. Starters were fine. The spinach and onia bhaji was particularly good, the haddock croquetas were ok, nothing special. Both starters would have benefited from a sauce. Main courses were the stars of the show. My wife had had a lovely lamb dish in a rich sauce, and I had the Chicken Dosa, which was spectacular, although a little salty. Drinks were good, and service was excellent.

Very overpriced and not a great seevice

Hands down the best Indian food I’ve ever had. Everything was absolutely delicious, the service was great and fabulous value for money. Great to have such a an extensive choices of gluten free food. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

All coeliac friendly which was fantastic. Great food and attentive and friendly staff. Came with my family and we all had a lovely night. We'll definitely be back!

I’ve been recommended to go to this place so many times as a coeliac and WOW it blew me away. The staff were so so lovely and friendly. The food was absolutely phenomenal. Highly recommend and will definitely be back! The best Indian gluten free food I’ve ever eaten.

Best indian food i have ever had in UK

Simply delicious! I need to come back to Glasgow to eat here again!!

Food taste is not as per they are charging. Highly priced and food is not as per South Indian taste.

The worst south Indian restaurant I ever visited, The dosa was good and the rest were awful. Even dessert..... Very much disappointing. Not suitable for vegetarians. Don't go for shrooms, paneer or paal payasam or you'll regret

Great place in Glasgow but bit highly priced. Taste of food was average compared to any other Indian restaurants in Glasgow.

Excellent food. Best curry i've had in ages. Highly recommended. Great starters and sides too.

The best gluten free meal we have had in a while.

Amazing food good staff and worth the money come here if in glasgow

The ambience was good. The place looked clean and cosy. Unfortunately, the food was not up to the mark. Unlike the overall appearance of the restaurant, food served was not tasty . Being South Indian, we know the taste of South Indian food, but food served in Dakhin did not match the expectations.

I have to say this is some of the best food I've ever had. The staff were very attentive and polite. The breads are incredible. The rice was so tasty even on its own. Spicy potato curry is amazing.

We have been regular customers for many many years now. In our opinion, Dakhin, Glasgow do the best dhosa between UK and India combined! Highly recommend!

The person attending was in too much rush, would not ask me what I would like to do rather clear plates without asking, befor I finished my food my bill was on my table

Delicious, gluten free, great location. BUT very expensive for what we got. 5 small pieces of monkfish in lots of sauce for £25 and similarly stingy amount of aubergine, again more sauce than veg for over £15 (£18?) Maybe they were eking it out because of the Christmas rush...

The best Indian food! Great restaurant with authentic food. Love it!!!

Price has increased, they don’t give you condiments any more. What a joke. Food was ok but nothing exciting

Wonderful food, everything I had was delicious! 😋👏

What a treat. Met the owner. Made the experience amazing. Best food I've had in months. Best Indian food I've ever enjoyed. Been waiting 8+ years to enjoy a dosa. I feel it's great value overall. Well done and thank you for such an amazing gluten free dining experience.

Dear fellow coeliacs - this is gf paradise. Enjoy virtually every dish: dosas to dumplings. Sublime!

Recommend by a friend who is Scottish and a former work colleague When we were given the menu,our expression must have shown that we didn’t recognise anything at all. The owner gladly explained everything and suggested dishes that he recommended,even bringing samples to try. All four of us cleared our meals,then agreed that it was one of the best Indian restaurants that we have ever eaten at. Will definitely be back on our next visit to Glasgow

Fantastic! Really tasty! Will be going back

A good restaurant. Service excellent. The restaurant has excellent and authentic South Indian food Nice ambiance Recommended

Nice place, with great service and unique tasteful dishes.

Absolutely fabulous! Food was divine, salivating thinking about it 😂 We were a group of three and a half (10). They were so lovely to my son who was struggling after a long day trekking around Glasgow shops. Lovely staff, very welcoming and helpful with food choices - they made my dish spicier on request 😍 Will be back as soon as we can with another adult as the tasting menus looked spectacular! Thank you for a lovely experience. Highly recommend. Friendly, welcoming and delicious!

Authentic South Indian. This place gives u authentic South Indian cuisine. A very strong South Indian feel to d place. D best South Indian in d whole of Scotland.

First visit and will not be the last. Different and superior to the usual Indian fayre to be found in Glasgow. Whilst it is pricey, food and portions and service fully justify the prices. I had the Yetti Masala and the prawns were decent sized in a nice spicey sauce. Unless you have a huge appetite one portion of the rice would do 2 people. They also do a lunch menu which looks like good value. Highly recommend.

Our son has celiac disease, so Dahkin was a must visit during our trip to Glasgow. We didn't do the tasting menu, but probably should have after everything we ordered. Most everything was great, except the flame cooked fresh prawns which had a mushy texture. Paper dosa was an impressive centerpiece for the table. For dessert I asked if the gulab jamun was gluten free, but the waiter didn't seem to know, so be cautious if you're a celiac and not just a GF fan. Had plenty of leftovers to take with us. Fun and pricey family meal we'll never forget.

5 stars, 10/10! My partner and I came in here for a sporadic date night… and the food was to die for! The spicy prawn starter and the chicken starter were simply astonishing! And for mains, we both had the chicken curries I had the spiciest one, and she had a more mild one. Again, simply amazing! The service was fantastic and the staff were so fun and so kind! We will definitely be back! One of the best meals we’ve ever had in Glasgow. Thanks to the Dahkin team!

It is very reassuring to visit z restaurant that is guaranteed gluten free. The food was lovely, the variety of breads was impressive. We will visit again

Food was ok, but some dishes are massively overpriced - masala dosa should not be £17…

Honestly best Indian meal I’ve ever eaten, my wife is celiac and thoroughly enjoyed not having the hassle of questioning about gluten. Staff so welcoming and helpful

Food was phenomenal, and if it’s possible, the service was better. I was traveling solo but the staff made me feel right at home. Clearly buddies with a lot of the locals (hugs and handshakes with patrons left and right). Just a top notch place all around.

Great place in Glasgow. Quick service courteous staff, Amazing food. Little bit highly priced. We ordered masala dosa, chicken Briyani and paneer/ cottage cheese dosa. All dishes were up to the mark, will recommend to people havjng decent South indian cravings.

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.

Absolutely excellent food and service for many years now, and pleasantly different from what you'd expect from a regular Indian restaurant. Being specifically South Indian, you won't find a bog-standard Masala-esque curry or naan bread here, but you will find unique flavours (while the hotter dishes DON'T lose the taste), succulent tender meats, a great selection of dosa (to dip in and to scoop up anything that you might dare to waste), and top notch service. Personally, I'd recommend lamb Venchina Mamsam as a main course along with rice and the gargantuan Paper Dosa 🤤

We ordered from the pre-theatre menu as it’s cheaper (2 courses for around £17). My starter was a bit tasteless, which was disappointing. I had a veggie curry for my main, but it only had potatoes and a few bits of tomato in it, so was a bit dull. The dosa was nice, something I’ve never had before. They don’t have a children’s menu, but said they could make us up anything. They charged £15 for rice, chicken and sauce for a child under 2. Pretty poor. Overall wouldn’t go back as have had better Indians elsewhere.

Awesome place and so is the food, good service and the most important part for me, 100% gluten free, well except for some of the alcoholic drinks that is. It is just so wonderful to visit a place and not have to ask a load of questions about how they cook things. If you are coeliac this is a must visit place when visiting Glasgow. Plus their Dosas are to die for. Love this place

I have been a long time customer of this place for years and previously enjoyed excellent relationships with the staff. I had an issue with my bill which could have been rectified easily. The manager was unhelpful and has as a result alienated my custom.

very nice meal, very impressed. would come back again. huge selection for All palates.

Went for Mothers 85th. She loves Indian food and is very snobby about it having lived in Singapore and Malaysia. She loved it! Fabulous food, great staff. Highly recommend.

This restaurant was recommended to us so was our first visit. We opted for the pre theatre menu which was reasonably priced.The starters of mamsam pepper and chicken Koli were delicious. The mangalore and mysore chilli dishes were spicy in flavour but not too hot. The star of the show was the dosa it was sweet, chewy soft and crunchy. Can't wait to return.

I wish if I could have 0 star to give. They make customers fool and they all are big time fraudsters . Quality of food is very cheap as the idly was as hard as the iron. Their sambhar was as cold as Atlantic sea. I asked for the extra sambhar and in my final bill they charged 8 pounds extra without even telling me that it will be chargeable. Don’t ever go there as there are multiple other options you will find around.

Excellent authentic Indian food with an interesting and wide variety of dishes. Excellent service and ambiance. Very highly recommended.

This place is amazing. Beautiful restaurant and the food was very tasty. Staff were friendly.Will definitely visit again soon.

Took my son here this week after a taxi driver recommended it to us as we didn't really know where we could get a god curry not being from Glasgow. Not being familiar with South Indian cuisine we asked the waiter who was excellent to suggest a couple of curries. My young lad had the Mysore Chilli Koli and I had the Venchina Mamsam. Compared to what we are used to back home this was Premier League vs Pub League, we never wanted it to end!! The Dosa we had was the size of a cricket bat and absolutely delicious. Thank you Pete and your superb team.

This is a restaurant we have eaten in many times over the years and have always enjoyed. However, today was quite different. My wife and I went for lunch and the first thing that surprised us was that there was no lunch menu - a la carte only. On that menu, starters were priced from £8 with mains from £17. We duly ordered some wine (£23 for the house Shiraz) and then ordered food. This included popadoms which they brought with dips we hadn’t ordered. These were a different item on the menu and priced higher. After 20 minutes we gave up waiting for our food and asked for the bill. Sorry guys, we won’t be back. Oh, and by the way, they charged for the dearer popadoms.

This was my sixth visit and was probably the best yet. My friend was visiting and he'd specifically asked that we eat here following two previous trips. My starter, Karveipullei Koli, consisted of chicken strips cooked with curry leaves and a spicy dip. We also had the poppadoms with three dips, a Sada Dosa and pints of Kingfisher lager. My main course was Venchina Mamsam, which is lamb cooked in a ginger and black pepper sauce, served with plain rice. Our bill came to around £70 and was well worth it. I thoroughly recommend trying this taste of South India and would suggest booking in advance especially later in the evening or weekends.

Es mi primera vez en un indio puesto que soy celíaca y por España nunca he visto ningun, y sobretodo con la seguridad que te dan ya que todo es sin gluten, un paraíso! Mi primera experiencia ha sido de lo mas grata, el que parecía ser encargado o supervisor del local super atento en todo momento, intentando dirigirse en español a nosotros e informándonos un poco.. la comida exquisita, me llevo un buen sabor de boca con la comida india y sobretodo el buen servicio y trato realizado, pena que otros camareros no entendieran español.

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!

We had a really good gluten-free dinner. Service was really good. I would definitely eat here again when I’m in town.

Wonderful food, lovely atmosphere and the staff were fantastic. Will definitely visit again as it was a delightful meal.

Southern Indian food - friendly and helpful staff ... you got to have the signature rolled up thin bread

Once again, famous for south Indian food. Loved it and many times i have been there. Little over price budget. I dnt expect for dosa to be £17. Usually dosa will be £6-10 in other area of England

I could experience tasty food with a good choice for coeliac and lactose allergic person

Food and service was perfect, one of the best indian meals ive ever had. Cant wait to go again.! The flavours were really deep and complex and perfectly put together.

Main dishes disappointing. No clear spicing. Dosa very good Expensive for what it was

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.

Oh a large menu, no fear after you talk to the staff..... 1st class service but go for the DOSA! Simply amazing! Blew my mind tbh!

There is nothing more amazing than an experience that teleports you from one place to another...in this case the heart of Glasgow City to South India. I have travelled to South India a number of times and my dining experience here took me there in an instance. The flavours the friendliness and atmosphere were all so authentic. I can not thank the Team of Dahkin enough for such a delightful experience...your restaurant offers 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 food with flavour and 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 service with heart. Such a Joy and thankyou🙏 so much to All.

מסעדה הודית מגוון גדול של מטעמים מומלץ להגיע כדאי לנסות

We booked this for my husband's birthday. We had been there a couple of times before and the food was lovely. We like the pre-theatre menu as the à la carte menu is overpriced in my opinion. The only menus on the table were the à la carte and, when I asked for the pre-theatre they seemed almost annoyed. Since we were last there, I have stopped eating meat. I have coeliac disease, so my choices are limited, which is understandable. I have always had the dosa as it's gluten free. My husband and our friend had meat dishes for starters and mains, which they said were very good. There were 2 veggie options for starters, bhajjis and spicy potato dumplings. I opted for the potato dumplings, however, had I known that the only dosa veggie option was also spicy potato, I would probably have gone for the bhajjis. Previously I've had their veggie dosa, and I remember it being full of a variety of vegetables. Unfortunately, this time it was just spicy potato, which is fine if you've had something different for starters. While it was nice, I was all potatoed out by the time I had finished. I realise they're probably cutting back, like many restaurants, but I feel that £17.95 for 2 dishes, predominantly made of potatoes, is a bit much. For this reason, I would be inclined to avoid this restaurant in the future. Although the service was good enough, we were never asked if we were enjoying our meal and I felt that, had we ordered à la carte, the staff might have shown a bit more enthusiasm.

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.

Coeliac friendly. Whole menu is gluten free. My partner and I had our date night here tonight and since she was diagnosed with coeliac it’s been really hard for her to look forward to a meal out. But for the first time in a long time I seen her face light up at food, and the food was absolutely amazing. We’ve never had South Indian cuisine but are definitely considering becoming regulars.

This place is a must if ur in Glasgow. We had king prawns barayani and 4 starters (stuffed mushrooms, potato bonda ,forgive me, ive completely forgot the names* fried haddock.. and shrimps) along with 2 ginger beers. I'm dying to go again and try more items on the menu. Don't forget to book, the place has plenty of seatings. And I'd like to add that the washrooms were clean 👌

What a super restaurant. High quality food and service, with an interesting and varied menu. Far from your typical Indian. Highly recommended.

Dietary intolerance friendly. I have a fructan and lactose intolerance and the restaurant phoned me in advance to ensure they knew what the issues were and could prepare a delicious meal. The food was lovely and service is always amazing. I appreciate the effort the kitchen team go to ensure I can enjoy a delicious meal despite my extensive restrictions. Thank you 😊

Our first night in Glasgow and we picked a fantastic restaurant. The restaurant is up some stairs and has lots of windows that look out over the street. We were seated immediately and service throughout our meal was fantastic. We had two starters, two mains...

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.

Excellent food at reasonable price. Not cheap, but it was great to have quality South Indian food, which you don't get so often in the UK.

Excellent Indian dining experience. Dosa was a big hit. We loved the paper dosa. Biryani wasn’t very good. Other vegetarian dishes were okay.

We haven’t experienced South Indian food before and wow, it was delicious. Lovely restaurant. Friendly service without being too pushy. The staff offered to help explain the menu if we needed. Our dishes were superb. I totally recommend the Dosa. I chose the spiced lamb...

We chose Dakhin for a family dinner because one person needed their 100% gluten-free menu, and two others had requested a curry. Multiple appetizers, mains, breads and desserts later we knew we made the right choice. The food was filling, tasty and not greasy. The...

We all ordered from the pre theatre menu which had excellent choices on it. We were quite a large table but the staff were excellent in managing this. Manoj in particular was very informative about the menu and our choices and ensured everyone was served...

I was there with two friends for a meal on the 23rd June I had the Batata Bonda with boiled rice The best Curry I've ever had, amazing. I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation The Vegetable Pakora was stunning too. I'll be back.

I cannot rave about this place more. This food was absolutely life-changing delicious. Arjun was awesome.

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.

Excellent gluten free and vegan options Excellent service Excellent value for money Their Dora's are to die for

Party of 8. Great food and service. Nice and spacious. Will be back.

Fantastic service because when we walked in we had tried Indian food before but never been in a restaurant that is specialized in food from Southern India. We only recognized few of the dishes but the waiter was very helpful and explained the dishes on...

Quality wasn't at the level we expected! Lambs within the curry so chewy. Food was hot above limits even for dishes that wasn't flagged as spicy. Everything was so spicy (even the yogurt!) that we couldn't finish our dishes fully. At least I now know that I'm not into South Indian food (if this was the right take on it of course).

Over priced. Taste was just okay.

Fabulous food, superb service. Would highly recommend, best Indian restaurant I have been to in a long time.

Fabulous Indian food, a 100% gluten-free kitchen; lunch special for under 12 GBP - I will go back again before I leave Glasgow.

Nice staff, food okay, no atmosphere, bit pricey, won't be back. Sorry!

Bon indien. Par contre très cher. Le rapport qualité/prix est clairement défavorable.

This was a wonderful Indian experience:) the place is minimalistic yet the food was by far one of the best I've had, along with the kind service.

Overall this place was great. The presentations of the food were excellent and the service was great. The restaurant wasn't beautiful but it was clean and comfortable. I could have done with more spicy options as I'm used to this type of cuisine carrying a bit more heat, but the flavor profiles were generally good. I went with a large group and we got the vegan tasting menu and the Godavari tasting menu. The erachi mappas was a stand out as was the meen chuttathu. The pedda royyalu were also exceptional. I thoroughly enjoyed the batata bonda, but the kai kurma could have used more vegetables. Overall, I'd definitely eat here again and would look forward to trying other offerings.

This was our second visit here and despite the extravagant claims on the menu the food served is very average. Of the two starters ordered, both were unimpressive, presentation was poor and one was lukewarm. Both were pakora type dishes and oozed oil. The main...

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.

Absolutely outstanding. Great hospitality, amazing food. Will 100% be back

Super lekker gegeten. Je moet wel oppassen, het brood wat je erbij besteld voor 8 pond is super groot 😂 en zorg ook dat je duidelijk praat, want toen wij ‘no thanks’ zeiden tegen nog meer drankjes, kwamen er toch nog wat drankjes aan. Wel redelijk duur, maar wel heel lekker

Gluten free and nut free. Wonderful Southern Indian cuisine. Staff was so friendly and helpful.

The food is very very tasty. The taste is different from the usual indian restaurant. So the experience is different. Price reasonable. The choices in the menu are a lot and all very interesting. I do not like spicy but my dish was very very tasty without being spicy. There are spicy options too... Service was attantentive and food came at a very reasonable time... We went on Thursday so there were few people... Hence low on atmosphere... However there is no background music nor there is anything in the restaurant to make a theme nor something about south india.. None that i saw or was striking for me to notice... Nice enough restaurant and looks very clean though... And has a woody look...

Place was nice,, staff very attentive, plenty choice of food, but unfortunately not to my taste, but that would not stop me recommending

This was an excellent choice. Warm welcome, great food suggestions from an extensive modern South Indian menu with lots of new things to try! We opted for one of the tasting menus for 4 people & were absolutely delighted with the range of flavours across...
