Dakshin Indian Bistro

We placed an order for delivery. Before placing the order, I called and spoke to a lady asking if they can make two of the dishes not spicy as it would be children. They obliged and made them as requested. The Lemon Rice and Chicken Manchurian was good - the not spicy dishes as requested (especially the Lemon Rice had plenty of flavor). We also had Chicken 65 and Chicken Biryani. The Chicken 65 was good - we normally dip it in the cucumber yogurt - lots of flavor. The Chicken Biryani had just the right amount of spiciness and had lot of good flavor (plus the chicken was very tender). We will definitely be ordering again - but will call before placing our order.

One of the best chicken tikka masala I've had in Columbus, so it's a shame that everything else I got was downright terrible. The chicken 65 seemed like boneless buffalo chicken bites you might get in the freezer aisle at target with some extra red dye and totally lacked any spiciness normally associated with it. The chicken corn soup had some good flavors but it seems like they put similarly sad cut up chicken tenders -- breading and all -- into the soup. So there were soggy bits of breading in the soup creating a massive texture issue. If they would have just used regular bits of chicken it probably would have been fine.

Dinner was delicious! We ordered several items to share because there was so much we wanted to try and nothing disappointed. Their curries are so flavorful and can be ordered to your spice preference, I recommend the mango curry! We ordered lamb chops which were grilled with a bit of char and seasoned perfectly. Chicken 65 was so good, fried boneless chicken pieces with a unique bmend of seasonings and mint or tamarind chutney to dip. Can't wait to go back with more friends for another great experience!
