In honour of Scotland's first game at the World Cup 2026, we asked Vinay about his favourite things about Scotland.

If you have dined at Dakhin, you know Vinay. And he probably knows you too.

If you are a regular, he knows your name, your usual order, and any allergies you have. That is not a system. That is just Vinay.

He has been with us for four years, alongside his family. The welcome you get at the door is his.

Good luck to Scotland tonight. First World Cup in 28 years.

The thali. A tray of small dishes that gives you everything in one sitting.

At the centre is the sambar. In parts of South India people eat it with every meal, breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is the cornerstone of the food we cook.

Around it you get a raita, two curries, rice, bread and a rice pudding to finish. Vegetarian or non-veg, the tray covers starter, mains and dessert in one selection.

Lunch the way it is meant to be eaten in South India.
Served at lunchtime.
The whole menu gluten free and nut free.

Glasgow Indian Restaurant Gluten-free Nut-free Merchant City

08/06/2026

Dakhin opened back in 2002.

Three brothers in a city that had never seen a South Indian restaurant.

A father in the background who taught them what proper food looked like and refused to let them serve anything less.

23 years on, we are still cooking the way he showed us. Same recipes. Same standards. Same fight to keep it honest.

This Father's Day, we want you to bring your dad to Dakhin.
Sunday 15th June, his main course is on us.

Sit down, take your time, let us look after him properly.

If your dad has not tried South Indian food before, this is the day to change that.

Tell us when you book and we will guide him through the menu.
Tell us his allergies and we will work around them.

DM us to book or visit Dakhin.com.

At Dakhin, our kitchen is 100% gluten-free.

Not as a trend. Not as a marketing line. Because South Indian food, done properly, does not need wheat.

No naan. No roti. No shortcuts. The breads we serve are naturally gluten-free, made the way they have been made in the south of India for generations.

Coeliac UK audit our kitchen every year. They have done since we made the switch. That is the standard we hold ourselves to, every service, every plate.

This weekend is the final one of Coeliac Awareness Month.

A percentage of every food sale, dine-in or takeaway, goes to Coeliac UK.

Book a table. Eat properly. Bring someone who never gets to eat out without worrying.
