Dakshinayan - Ahmedabad

The satellite outlet of Dakshinayan has always been one of our favorites. So when one day we were passing by the St. Xavier's corner and saw a second outlet being opened there, we were elated. And we did go there on a sunday. The ambiance and seating is quite similar to the satellite outlet. You'll get the traditional feel looking at all the art and decor they've placed there. The seating is comfortable and nicely spaced out. The staff majestic and gracious as usual. The menu however is not very different which we had hoped it would be but no complaints there.

We are ardent fans of the southern cuisine and so our staples at dakshinayan are always some kind of rasam, accompanied by vada or rice or even vermicelli. And uttapam and dosa for the mains. Basically one dish from each section! (Chuckles) So that day we ordered as per the ritual. The tomato rasam however was a tad spicy that day. But the vermicelli was spot on! Perfectly spiced and Al dente. Then arrived the uttapam and the mysore masala dosa and as expected, they too were spot on! The taste is very similar to their first outlet and that means, no complaints there. And I dont think i need to say anything about their sambar and chutneys!

Also, a major plus for this outlet would be the ample parking space availability. I know how much that has become a deciding factor these days when it comes to eating out, especially on a weekday. All in all a very good aaddition to the city's food space especially for the lovers of the southern cuisine! Go there and you wont be disappointed.
P.S. The prices have actually reduced after the arrival of GST!

Bon Apetit!
