Had a wonderful Onam Sadhya at Dakshin Culture Curry, Authentic flavors, great service, and a festive ambiance. A must-visit!

The ambience and music is very calming. We tried both maharashtrian and South Indian seafood dishes and loved both. Specially the crab meat curry was very filling and tasty! Definitely a go to place for all the seafood lovers!

We had gone for Onam sadhya. Food was very testy and authentic. Service was very good. Enjoyed Onam Sadhya with friends. Lovely ambience tasty food. Had veg sadhya.. There was around 26 unlimited items and it was very reasonable price Rs.795. Ambience was good. Kudos to the restaurant for an exceptional Onam Sadhya experience! The dish options, whether savored on-site or as takeaway, were a true feast for the senses.

I was there with my girlfriends for onam sadya on 29th Tuesday. I first thought of ignoring writing a review but then I realized that I should warn others. This place was recommended on almost all websites like curly tales or lbb etc. for onam sadya. But we had a super bad experience and soon realized all of these were paid reviews. Our bad experience started as soon as we reached there. Our booking from dineout had no value and we were told by the manager SATYA , "you can sue dineout if you want as the reservation acceptance is not given by us. So you have no choice but to wait. " So we waited 30 mins. Then we got place. We were served. Firstly the dishes were not authentic, 2 of their curries were chowli and kabuli Chana, which from no angle are served in a South thali especially when your thali already has only 4 curries. To add to it, there was literally no taste to anything , insufficient salt and no chilli at all. The sambar was like a dal fry , that thick. The rasam was like sambar, that thick. The kerala parottas were undercooked and tasted like aata. They were overpriced, 800 plus taxes for such bad food. 80% food was served cold. That's the last thing we could expect. No service. We had to wait 15 mins for the payasam after telling 4 people atleast. Now you decide if you want to experience this ???

I visited Dakshin Culture Curry and enjoyed the most amazing Onam thali ever. The ambiance and Decor was totally outstanding .The taste and Flavour of the thali was amazing. Felt like I was actually in the southern part of India eating my food. It did showcase the festive spirit of Onam. Service was amazing. Though the Restaurant was packed the staff was attentive and courteous. They explained each and every dish(as what has what flavour and what it is made of). Overall it was an amazing experience in understanding the Onam festival and South Indian culture. I would highly recommend this place to try their huge variety of South Indian food.

Dakshin culture specializes in various South Indian dishes. The ambience is so quaint and beautiful. The bright lights and soft music makes it so peaceful and enjoyable. The menu has vast range of dishes, with fish preparations, chicken, mutton. Their motto is that South Indian cuisine is much more than Idlis and Dosas. What we ordered: In Starters Fish Fry Porichaphu This was a very tempting dish. Pomphret which was nicely marinated was served in red masala and fried. It had a nice tangy sweet taste. The covering was crisp with hint of spices and the sauce served along was tangy sweet. A must try! Spice Rubbed Rawas Rawas fish marinated with spices and yogurt and nicely grilled. The flavors were soaked in the fish. The dish was so well prepared that all I wanted to eat was this yummy Rawas. My new favorite. In Cocktails Cosmopolitan Our usual favorite. This Cocktail was well prepared. Just the way I like it. Nothing can ever go wrong with Cosmo. Went perfectly well with the starters. Mango Margarita This was tangy sweet due to the mango flavor but again a yummy boozy drink. Well served with sugar coated at the rim. It was an eye candy. In Mains Prawns Manglorean Sukkha This was a delight. If you want something light to go with your breads then this is it. This was so flavorful and tasty. Hint of all the spices nicely marinated in prawns. The prawns were in good number and juicy. Chicken Chettinad This was the best Chicken Chettinad. Spicy and tasty, with so many flavors. I could eat it everyday. Just like homemade gravies but much more flavors and spices. Too yum. A must must try here. Malabar Paratha It was served hot and crisp. Went really well with Chettinad gravy and the chicken pieces. Appam They've a special counter to make appams. And my mum loved it to the core that through out the meal she had more of appams. Beautifully made and served steaming hot. Neer Dosa Soft and light. Non sticky and thin slices. The beauty of neer dosa. Just perfect. In Desserts Shahi Tukda Fried bread stuffed with rabdi. The rabdi was so so good. Specially made by the chef. It was full of rich milky flavors. Watalappam Similar to our beloved custard but a famous South Indian dessert made from Coco and jaggery. Only if you taste it then only you can understand what I'm saying. It was so soft and tasty. Loved it! The service is a bit slow, but once you taste the food you'll be on a joy ride. The food is so well prepared and so delectable. Each dish is pretty unique and delicious. It is a melange of flavors dancing in your mouth. The servers are well trained and will help you with your selections. You'll definitely leave with a happy stomach and a smile on your face.

So i went for the Onam sandya after checking good reviews of this restaurant but was very dissatisfied. To start with we had booked our table on swiggy which they refused to accept saying they don't take swiggy bookings..on our request the manager who was behaving to busy and non compliant said he ll try to get us a table in 10mins which extended to more that half an hour..that's understandable as people are eating... later once on the table food served was cold ...bland tasteless......the price was also mentioned lesser while booking.Over all not a good experience...there are many places in Mumbai which serve more authentic and delicious food..and at a lesser price .. culture curry needs to work on all aspects be it taste or service or hospitality and of course price...
