"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)."

    Pukka is always great. The food is rich and flavourful but it has a brightness the elevates it beyond your standard Indian fare. The staff is very attentive and helpful. Just a great experience.

    The food was delicious, especially the pumpkin curry and the pakora as a starter. The restaurant is very energetic and will return.

    This was our first time eating at Pukka. They have an early bird special between 5 and 6 pm. We ordered dishes from that special. There are lots of dishes to choose from in this menu. We were really pleased with our meal that was generous and very tasty. We would go there again.

    Lovely cosy restaurant but small portions for the mains and very high prices put this out of reach for regular dining.
