    If you’re craving authentic Indian food, especially traditional Hyderabadi delicacies, Dakshin Restaurant is the place to be! Their Hyderabadi Biryani is perfectly spiced, aromatic, and tastes just like it would in Hyderabad. They also serve other unique dishes like Haleem and Paya, which are hard to find in most Indian restaurants. The owner is incredibly hospitable and ensures every guest feels at home. His passion for authentic Indian cuisine reflects in the quality and taste of the food served. If you’re looking for a genuine Indian dining experience in Kentucky, Dakshin Restaurant should be your go-to spot. Highly recommend!

    This review is based off multiple visits to this restaurant. The staff is kind and attentive and so patient when my dining partner is running 30 mins late. The food is absolutely delicious, the menu has so much to offer and split into North & South Indian cuisine. I generally gravitate to North, South is great of what I’ve tried it’s just North is so good I can’t get past it.

    There's a lot of flavor through those doors! We enjoyed the small buffet and liked that we could try multiple / different dishes. Food was hot and fresh. Price seemed reasonable. Definitely would recommend if you are interested in trying Indian Cuisine. We will more than likely make the 1 hour drive again.
