Tucked away behind Dumfries' Theatre Royal, this place is well worth your time to seek out…read more Coming as I do from Glasgow, I'm pretty used to the odd curry or three. In many smaller places you find the curries are either over-spiced and over-sweet, or just not spicy enough. Daksh has the balance just right - generally on the side of favouring taste over spiciness, but not afraid to turn up the heat where it's needed. Quality stuff indeed. Although it was Saturday night and the place was busy, they managed to slot us in between an earlier and a later booking with courteous aplomb. I don't have much experience with any of the few other curry emporiums in Dumfries, but after visiting here, I don't think I need to bother.

My partner and I love curry. We eat curry regularly, both at home and in restaurants. We often…read moretravel upwards of 2 hours to try recommended curry houses. Tonight, we thought we would try one closer to home. And we have both agreed that this is the absolute worst that either of us have ever been to... It started off fairly promising. The place is warm, and we were seated quickly in a booth. There were some questionable stains on the table cloth, but we overlooked this, and our drinks order was quickly taken, followed by our food order. Unfortunately the carpet had more personality that all of the waitstaff combined. Literally. My feet stuck to whatever was growing in it. The started was a selection of deep fried chicken and veg. It was fine. Basic, but fine. Then arrived the main course. My partner had ordered the Karahi from the "hot" section and I had gone for the Pardesi from the "medium" menu. Neither had any heat whatsoever, or any flavour. Had they not been different colours, you could have been forgiven for assuming they were identical. The nan bread was like a thick duvet, and my cheese and garlic nan had was literally nan bread with half a bag of grated mozzarella on top! When the waiter asked how things were, he scuttled off before waiting for an answer. Despite all of this, we could have got over this, had there not been the attempted theft, the addition of a significant amount onto each item on the bill. When this was flagged up, the excuse was "well I haven't got a menu to hand". Hello Trading Standards - needless to add, when a menu was presented, the price was very incorrect, and the additional sum removed. If dreadful food, staff who clearly don't want to be there, and attempted theft are your thing, then sure, give it a bash....

It was some of the best Indian food that I've ever had. Their curries were scrumptious and their naan was perfection. We met the gracious owner and his son and chatted with them for a while. It was quite obvious that their food was made with love.

The food is top quality and always consistent and therefore we have never had a bad meal.

Not many of takeaways do that I can tell you!!We order every Friday night from our local and have never received anything free!!The walls in the place are covered in pictures of the owner/chef with celebrities who have eaten in his restaurant and one of them has even signed saying it was the best Indian in England.

There is…read morea large choice of dishes and a guide to the spice rating of each dish which is clear and informative. You can have any type of curry with your own choice of meat and there is a variety of side dishes and starters. The restaurant is decorated nicely and often shows Bollywood films on the TV screen (on mute) which can be a nice thing to watch while waiting for the next course. The restaurant does a good value set menu on a Thursday night, however you need to book as this is popular. The down side to this restaurant is that there isnt much flexibility with the dishes. I asked for a dish to be made slightly more spicy and was greeted with a confused look. They did try to accommodate me but they did seem a bit miffed.
