Dakshin was a very normal experience. The food was just satisfactory. Felt the restaurant was understaffed with just two stewards attending a full restaurant.

You know those places that everyone raves about, and you excitedly visit to see what the fuss is about, and it turns out to be a massive disappointment. That was Dakshin for us - An anticlimax to my birthday celebration on 10th May. What was good - The ambiance What was mediocre - The food What was terrible - Server's attitude, hygiene. - The ambiance was very inviting and cozy. Full points. There aren't many restaurants in Vizag that offer such pleasant seating. - The food is westernized to fit non-spicy foodies. It lacked the depth and flavours of the fantastic Andhra cuisine. Zamindari, Spicy venue are better options. You won't get the same ambiance, but the food there is mind-blowing. Dakshin's payasam is a mockery of the payasam made by mothers in Andhra and South India. It was watery, just boiled rice, and sweet. A 5-year-old can make it! There was not a single dish that made us go WOW! Not a single dish. And I am not biased because I've had my fair share of Andhra cuisine in Vizag. - The service fell below a 5-star standard. When we were in the process of deciding which side of the table we should sit, the server (a tall, dark, not-so-skinny gentleman) said loudly, "You know we serve only Andhra cuisine, right? Nothing north-Indian." This made us pause and re-evaluate our decision to come to Dakshin. We decided to stay because we were hungry and already there. I ordered a mango drink (from their menu) and the non-veg thali. The drink did not arrive even after 40 minutes, and hence I cancelled my order. The lady at the reception was polite but very hurried, as if they didn't want to deal with customers. All in all, the staff really needs training on how to be nice to ALL customers and not selective customers. The restaurant is all about Andhra cuisine, but the pride did not show in them. Customers who are from out of state and yet excited to explore Andhra cuisine want to understand what they are ordering, and we did. However, the explanation was half-baked - this is chicken, this is mutton, this is prawns. I mean, thank you for the world-class explanation. Also, there was a mosquito roaming on our food - pic attached - that completely killed our appetite. We gulped the food, paid the bill, and dashed out in relief. In the evening, we went to Zamindari and enjoyed the lovely Andhra cuisine in all its glory and as it's meant to be. No whitewashing, no fakeness! For those who think that this review is biased. We love ITC and frequent KAI on special occasions. We've never had such a mediocre experience there. Therefore, Dakshin was a shock to our system. Will we visit again? Definitely not. Will we recommend Dakshin? Absolutely not.

The food was so bad, stale and cold. Even when i wanted to get it replaced, the replacement was also so shitty. Would not recommend it to anyone. My mother got a horrible reaction to the food and had to be admitted in the hospital. Do not ever go not worth any money.

we had veg and non-veg thali and food Tate and quality is not up to the level of ITC at all, food does not taste fresh. Most of the items like Dal, sabji, non veg curries taste pathetic and no authentic flavour.

Very poor service for a 5-star restaurant. When asked about the set menu, the server only pointed and said “chicken, mutton, veg” with no explanation. Food was bad, barfi tasted like medicine.
