Established in 2004, Dakhin was the first authentic South Indian restaurant in Scotland. Set amidst the centre of Glasgow's Merchant city district, it offers diners a vast array of speciality dishes from India's southern region. One of the key distinctions between South indian food and the more commonly available North Indian food is that rice flour is used or breads rather than wheat flour. This is particularly appealing for customers who require a gluten free diet. 'Dosas' are a speciality bread which are renowned throughout South India that can be stuffed with any meat or vegetable fillings and eaten with a range of tasty chutneys and sauces. The range of spices used in South Indian cuisine also varies considerably compared with other parts of India. Coconut is often used thus creating a distinctive sweet and sour flavour. With tastes ranging from very mild to very spicy, and using the freshest of ingredients, Dakhin's highly qualified kitchen staff can prepare dishes to suit all palates. Dakhin diners can also enjoy the views of an open plan kitchen where chefs prepare dishes and breads which are a sight to be enjoyed in their own right. The unique menu offered by Dakhin consisting of chicken, lamb, seafood and particularly vegetarian options has become a favourite amongst the discerning customer. This along with its relaxed stylish interior has ensured that Dakhin has earned its reputation as one of the best South Indian restaurants in Britain.
