Dakshin Indique

Absolutely phenomenal evening of cocktails and dinner. Polite and attentive waitstaff. I had the lamb biryani and my partner the Karwar Chicken curry, both excellently spiced and delicious. Spice was pleasant, and I ordered my biryani with extra spice and it had a nice heat to it. The cocktails were also quite enjoyable and unique. My partner had two rum Moscow mules with ginger (their Mumbai mule) and I had a kingfisher with my course and a whiskey cocktail as well that was pleasantly sweet and honey like. The garlic naan was delicious- one of the best I’ve had certainly if not the best, and the mini masala dosa was also a very fun, unique, and delicious appetizer for our meal. The raita served with our main was also outstanding. Great gluten free and vegetarian options, clearly marked, and safe for that crowd (as my partner is). Price is reasonable, especially for the city and the taste is phenomenal. Portions were well sized and our two entrees were enough for two. Waiter was knowledgeable of the menu and helped us order well. No line, booked reservation day of and the restaurant was approximately half to 1/3 full. A real gem in this part of DC and would certainly recommend to anyone looking for Indian in the neighborhood. Will be back!

Great meal! Incredibly delicious food with great accommodations for gluten free and celiac individuals without compromising on the quality and flavor.

Great vibes, delicious food and attentive service! Especially enjoyed all the gluten free options. They even made us a gluten free naan like pancake.
