I can confidently say that I was not ready for this knock out meal. My coworkers and I got a last minute call up to this meal when there were last minute cancellations which was just fine with us. Our dinner was served to us in a tasting menu style. We started off with a few different appetizers. There were sweet potato samosas with a duo of chutneys and a colourful Chaat that was piled high. There was also a spicy chili chicken app which I could only manage a few bites of due to low spice tolerance. The main course was a medley of curries with baskets of all kinds of naan plain, whole wheat, and garlic (the tastiest one! . Of the mains, my favourite were the lamb chops that were served on a...
I've been to Pukka twice now, one time for Winterlicious back in 2018 and a second time this early autumn. Both experiences have been wonderful! Food: I honestly enjoyed all the dishes I had from Pukka. From my recent visit, the chaat is a yummy appetizer to go for when you want a refreshing mix of textures. The Boatman's Fish and Prawns and Punjabi Chicken Curry were each distinct and so flavourful. The Boatman's Fish and Prawns reminded me of a seafood bisque the taste is different though more of a turmeric and lemon coconut curry base. The portion of garlic naan could have been more but did not disappoint. Service/atmosphere: The waitress who served us was patient, and gave amazing custom...
The restaurant is located away from the prime tourist areas so you see some neighborhoods on the way. We had the Summerlicious with Gobi 65, eggplant, chicken Tikka Masala, and the rice pudding. The cauliflower was delicious. Deep fried with chiles, masala spice, and lots of garlic. The eggplant was a close second although the cracker had an odd texture. The CTM was odd. We have had CTM in London and multiple cities in the US. This version was very thick and sweet. I also think it included a nut butter, probably peanut. It was not bad but I prefer other versions more. The chicken was well cooked though. Rice pudding was good. It does not have rose flower water and I appreciated that. Service...
Came here with a friend to try out this Indian fusion restaurant. Service was normal, not super fast but very friendly as they also take your coats for you. It was warm inside and dark, really setting a nice ambience for a date night. The food was good but not outstanding. Although it's considered an Indian fusion restaurant, some dishes (duck breast) didn't taste very Indian. We ordered the Pukka Chaat, which was flavourful and with a tiny kick of spice. We also ordered the duck breast with blueberry curry, but the curry was more of a jam in my opinion. Finally we got the pumpkin curry which was delicious but it is mildly spiced.

Open for more than a decade, Pukka has been a staple in the midtown Toronto area for their contemporary Indian cuisine with the classics and reimagined takes on childhood favourites! Ranging from their Pukka Chaat to start off any meal or their hearty mains such as their paneer and Seafood Curry, it is a great meal to share with friends and family!
This is a more upscale Indian restaurant. They have good veg and vegan options. The kale salad is a nice fresh starter. The tofu tikka masala, the pumpkin curry and dal makhani are all delicious. They are flavourful and rich without being heavy or greasy. The dal can be made vegan. There is a good wine and cocktail selection as well.
In a city replete with excellent Indian restaurants, Pukka stands out for having great food and great service, with nice cocktails if you're into that kind of thing as well. Attentive, thoughtful service. Large portions. Delicious vegetarian and vegan options. Parking can be a challenge of course given the popularity of the area.
No seats were available but we were lucky enough to sit at the bar. The food was a bit pricier side, but they were very flavorful. It was easily approchable for people who are not familiar with Indian cuisine. The service was fast and servers were very friendly. The inside is quite deep and not as small as I initially thought.

Beautiful decor, very modern and doesn't look like a typical Indian restaurant. I think it would be good for a romantic date or dinner with friends. The food was good although definitely not the best I've ever had. Still very decent. For the price. The service was fast and courteous. Would recommend!
Came here for dinner. Relishes Indian food (very detail oriented) and friendly attentive service! Highly recommend
