"At this refined, yet casual, Indian restaurant, the portions are large, the wine list is top-notch, and the ambience encourages sharing."
{Condé Nast Traveler's list of Toronto's 20 Best Restaurants}

"There’s lots of competition among the top-tier Indian restaurants in Toronto, and Pukka is at the top of that list. Punjabi curries, vindaloos, paneer, and butter chicken—all the comforting hits from the subcontinent can be found here. And while the food is uniformly excellent, it’s the wine list that’s the standout. Created by sommelier Peter Boyd, it’s a mix of thoughtfully considered bottles that pair well with whichever dish you order (ask the staff for recommendations)."

We retuned to Pukka for the first time in a couple of months and it was outstanding. The food was delicious - flavours complex, layered, and the spice level was spot on. We tried the green beans side for the first time and it was an unexpected treat. We also tried the Hydrabadi lamb shank for the first time and it was falling off the bone in a delicious gravy. The rest of our usual go to - okra fries, dal makhni and chicken 65 were perfectly prepared. And Pukka serves the best naan in the city. Service was friendly and attentive as always. Can't wait to go back!!
