Dakhin

You'll walk into Candleriggs and find yourself in a stripped-back, modern room that feels more refined than your typical curry house—there's a lightness to it that matches what's coming out of the kitchen. Dakhin specialises in South Indian food, which means dosas, idlis, and proper Kerala curries rather than the thick, creamy sauces you've been eating since uni. The menu reads like someone's actually travelled, and the execution suggests they've spent time learning from people who know. It's the kind of place where you go back specifically for things you've already had, because they're that good.
