⭐The best South India Restaurant in Ahmedabad!⭐ Like I have wrote in previous reviews, the wave of fusion dosas have taken the food lovers by storm. While some of it are tasty, some also makes us wonder whether are actually having a Dosa? But if you feel like eating authentic South Indian, Dakshinayan is the place for you, especially the one situated near Iscon Cross Road! I have been to this place a couple times and they serve Best sambhar Best chutney combos And what do I tell about Dosa, the taste is what we call real South Indian. The best I would suggest is their Mysor Masala! Yes, a very common spice but if you are craving for the best, they have got you covered! The menu also has traditional south indian dishes and recipes which are surely order worthy! I tried mini masala idli which I would highly recommend. Rest, I have captured some pictures for you to review. Don’t judge on the basis of sitting arrangements, these were taken at the near closing time of the restaurant. Do let me know how did you find the place when you go.

I like the test of sambhar and coconut chutney. They also give tomato chutney. They provide all items in jain variation also. They provide mysure masala dhosa anad apring dosai for Jain's also . They provide jain masala dosa with raw banana which is a good thing for this south indian restaurant.
