Sel et Poivre nor salty nor peppery
by Gourmand
I am french and went to Sel et Poivre convinced that I was going to have a nice dinner. The "Escargots" were an insult to this delicious appetizer. As for their "Couscous Royal"...it converted me to a republican. Terriiiible! My advice for anyone , if you want to try thisd restaurant.... froget about the two specialties mentioned above. What a pity!
Pros: Quiet and
Cons: Not the best of french cuisine

Best Deal in Town
by Ariella
I was a little skeptical when I read that Dakshin's buffet was only $7.99. So much so that I called the wait staff to make sure it wasn't a misprint on the menu. Dakshin's buffet is a bargain compared to the neighboring restaurants like Dawat and Chola, where a buffet usually costs me 6 bucks more. The Dakshin buffet has all of my favorites like tandoori chicken and a creamy chicken tikka masala. Their lamb roganjosh is like no other. It's a very filling, tasty, and varied buffet and I think more people should take advantage of it, especially for the price that its offered at. Another reason I love it: if you go on the weekend, they serve freshly made Dosas as part of the buffet. The dosas are crisp and come with a very thick sambar and cocunut chutney. Definitly give this restaurant a try, especially on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon if you want to take advantage of the fabulous dosas!
Pros: inexpensive, dosas on the weekends

New Favorite
by AustinGreen
Dakshin had me from the moment I heard the Beatles playing on the speakers. The restaurant's atmosphere is tres cool, with abstract indian paintings covering its red walls. As a veteran indian foodie, eating at Dakshin was definitly a refreshing experience. The food was way different from the generic fare that you get at all the other indian restaurants. The prices are very reasonable considering the location its in (making me feel less guilty when deciding to eat out). Everytime I'm at Dakshin, I try a new entree, and I assure you I am rarely ever dissappointed. The tastes and spices and variety of the dishes make me want to come back time and again.
Pros: great garlic naan, great service, unique dishes
