Dakshin Restaurant

Extremely overpriced.
Ordered kerala sadhya with fish curry.
Got the fish curry almost at the end of the meals.
Just by seeing the menu you may understand the level of extremity in pricing.

This rating is purely based on my visit to the restaurant.I would surely not make a visit to this restaurant again for the following reasons appended below:

(1) Please refer the menu card which l have uploaded to authenticate my reasons for my rating.
We ordered Mini meals limited thali which costed Rs70/- mainly because the items mentioned in this particular dish we're very appealing and mouth watering.The items in this thali included the following

(a) 1 bowl of white rice
(b) 1 bowl of red rice
(c) 1 bowl of flavoured rice
(d) Pickle
(e) Curd chilly
(f) Veg curry
(g) Sambar
(h) Rasam
(i) Toran
(j) Appam or Parotta
(k) Papad
(l) Raita or Curd

As per this list of items in their menu, a total of 12 items were to be served in this thali to the guests.
NOTE: We pointed our finger on the item to be ordered while mentioning it to the waiter apart from telling him the name of the dish verbally.

Surprisingly when the waiter placed the ordered thali on the table,there were hardly any items included as mentioned in the menu.

I enquired the same from the waiter to which he answered ( Madam we don't have the thali which you ordered)

Under the circumstances the basic ettiquette was to inform us that the thali which we ordered is not available rather than getting a thalli which we did not order.

Even if we give a concession that it was a mistake on the part of the waiter in taking the order, lwould still like to highlight and stress upon the point that the thali which he ultimately served us was of a higher price Rs90/- ,SO LOGICALLY SINCE THE COST IS MORE,THE ITEMS SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE THAN THE ONE WHICH WE ORDERED WHICH COSTED ONLY RS 70/-.
But shockingly the items served in the thali were just
(a)A very watery Rasam
(b)Sambar
(c)Toran
(d) Pickle
(e)Papad
(f)Aloo curry
(g) A bowl of plain white rice
(h) Just 2 Table spoons of curd which can be seen in the uploaded image.

There was no Parotta or Appam in the plate.Just a bowl of over cooked white rice.

Now in view of the above l would like to stress upon the following points:

(1) Did not serve what we ordered.

(2) Secondly the dish which we were served costed more than what we ordered hence should have had more number of items than the one we ordered as per the cost but it was quite the opposite.

Leave alone giving more items ,the items mentioned in the menu were also not served.Avial,theeyal,curd chilly etc were all missing despite being mentioned in the menu card.ANY KERALA THALI HAS AVIAL ,NO MATTER HOW SMALL A RESTAURANT AND SURPRISINGLY THIS WAS AN AC KERALA RESTAURANT.

(3) When enquired about the same they had nothing to say.They had no answer to any of our queries.Except that when l literally measured those 2 table spoons of curd served to me ,they got me a small katori of curd.

(4) AC was not switched on despite being so hot.There we're all together 3 AC's and none of them were switched on.I had to pick them off on not switching on the AC.

TO RAP IT UP: Any Keralite would visit a kerala restaurant to have kerala dishes and not just a South Indian dish which was missing in this restaurant.MOST IMPORTANTLY MISGUIDING THE GUESTS WITH FALSE MENU'S WHICH DO NOT EXIST AT ALL IS MORALLY VERY,VERY WRONG. IT BASICALLY AMOUNTS TO CHEATING THE GUESTS ( Showing/ mentioning something in the Menu which is not served to the guests ). Lastly not switching on the AC despite being an AC Restaurant until they are told to switch it on.

THIS FEEDBACK WAS NOT TO BRING DOWN THEIR BUSINESS BUT TO MAKE THE OWNERS OF THE RESTAURANT REALIZE THAT WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS WRONG THAT THEY SHOULD BRING ABOUT POSITIVE CHANGES WHICH WILL IN TURN WILL FLOURISH THEIR BUSINESS IN A LONG RUN.

HOPE TO SEE POSITIVE CHANGES IN FUTURE !

THANK YOU!
