Dakhin restaurant in Glasgow is another head boy from the class act who brought you Dhabba. Authentic South Indian cuisine is the focus in this Merchant City destination decorated in the modern casual vernacular: sleek lines with splashes of vibrant colour. The menu features dishes without weird colourings and slicks of oil, dishes where complex flavours shine through. The specialty is dosa, thin crepes of rice and lentils stuffed with irresistible fillings, though the emphasis on vegetarian and basmatic dishes is excellent, too. The three-course thali lunch deal and the pre-theatre offer are a steal. Award-winning cuisine in a bright, modern setting – great for quick lunches and easy dinners.

We used a 5pm voucher for our meals. The restaurant had a restricted menu but there was still ample choice. The food was excellent and left us full after states and main courses. The staff were very friendly and service was efficient. I’m happy to recommend this restaurant to other diners.

Food, service, atmosphere are all first class. 2 course lunch for 2 is under £30 and an absolute bargain. Try the butter chicken, it's the best I've eaten.
