About the restaurant

"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)."

Went to Bar Goa for lunch the food was incredible and Avi our server was very informative and attentive. He appreciated feedback and from his reactions he was very happy that we enjoyed the food so much. The servings are easily shareable for the main courses. The restaurant is fantastic and can see why that it received its Michelin Guide and I would say soon to get a star.

About the restaurant

Open for dine-in

Utsav is an ancient Sanskrit word meaning festival. An integral part of Indian culture, Indian festivals are innumerable and equally varied in origin from the Himalayan foothills to the Peninsula's tip and food plays a very prominent part of the festive events.

Each dish has its own distinctive flavor and aroma, thanks to the fresh spices that are prepared everyday for each individual dish. The blending and preparation of fresh spices is a centuries old exacting craft, which is indispensable to Indian cuisines.

I came here two weeks ago with my wife, my 4 year old and my new born baby. From the moment we stepped in, we felt a wonderful warm energy which was extended by the smiles and accommodation of the staff. As someone who enjoys Indian food a lot, I have to say this is my new favourite Indian restaurant and my favourite Indian food. You could taste the love and care in every bite. We enjoyed it so much that last night I invited my parents there as well and we stayed the whole evening to enjoy the food and energy of this place. 5 stars all around. I will definitely be recommending this place and coming back many times. Many blessings to the staff and management.
