The shop is a bit small, but their food is really good. And the best part is that the meats are halal. We tried several veg and non veg items like samosa, puri vaji, chicken 65, lamb biryani. I liked this chicken 65 and lamb biryani better than Taste of India (which is actually our go to place). Their chai is also great.
Absolute must try authentic Indian food. The Chicken 65, Kadhai Chicken, Bombay Sandwich and Dhaba murg were to die for! Every dish we ordered was delicious! The service was amazing, everyone was very polite and friendly. Fabulous experience!
Dakahin is a great restaurant! I love the food and the options. Whenever I go here I order the Mini Thali because it is great value and it a perfect full meal. I love the quantities for the Mini Thali given its current price. I hope that this is always the same quantities amd price because it's perfectly amazing! I always want to order Indian food from here because of this Mini Thali. It comes with a choice of two curries, rice, choice of bread and gulaab jaamun, perfect meal. And here you can even see that I barely finished my food! I love it!
The food was so yummy! I got the butter chicken w/ white rice & garlic naan. My boyfriend got the chicken curry w/ white rice & regular naan & he loved it as well! We got our food pretty fast too :-) good service overall
Very delicious food ! I had chilly chicken and chicken biryani both were great.
Small place but great food and service. Especially the price point and the quantity is equally perfect for single visitors or group. Lovely experience. Hadn’t expected at all since it was near the university.
I was just smitten when I discovered this place accidentally. I had the butter chicken and it was just fabulous the naan was very fresh and hot and the rice was cooked with black onion seeds and cardamom pods. It was so tasty. I returned 4 Weeks later, not so great.eeeh.
