{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).\"

That’s why 2025 marks my 11th year as a loyal patron of this innovative establishment, and over the years, I’ve happily introduced many other diners to Pukka as well.\n\nOne quintessential sign of a well-managed restaurant is the consistent presence of an owner. Without fail, on every visit, either Derek or Harsh is there to personally welcome guests the moment they walk through the door.\n\nWe always start with their star appetizers: Okra Fries ($16) - never slimy and definitely worth trying if you’ve been hesitant before; Eggplant Tartare ($14) served with crispy Roti; and Pukka Chaat ($19), which is far from your usual “been there, done that” version.\n\nTheir Hakka Tofu ($25) dispels any notion that vegetarians need to compromise. In fact, I encouraged our family’s matriarch-who usually turns her nose up at plant-based proteins-to try it. Her surprised reaction? “It’s good.” The Garam Masala Duck ($36) was perfectly cooked, resting atop a vibrant orange and wild blueberry curry. The Boatman Fish & Prawns ($42) earned a silent, satisfied sigh of approval from our table. The Butter Chicken ($28), a ubiquitous dish often missed on the sauce by even traditional establishments, was spot-on here-though the diner who ordered it mentioned the chicken itself was a bit dry.\n\nPukka’s take on Mango Lassi is sublime-thick and creamy, akin to a proper milkshake, with a subtle infusion of sweet spices that elevates the experience. To finish, one order of their Sticky Toffee Pudding ($12), shared among four spoons, struck the perfect balance of sweet and rich.","rating":{"food":5,"service":5,"ambience":4,"value":4,"noise":"MODERATE","overall":5,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"numOfApprovedReviews":19,"nickname":"Yo'av","metro":{"metroId":74,"displayName":"Toronto","__typename":"Metro"},"initials":"Y","isVip":true,"isLoggedInUser":false,"profileColor":"PLUM","profilePhoto":{"photoBySize":null,"__typename":"PublicDinerProfilePhoto"},"__typename":"ReviewUser"},"helpfulness":{"up":0,"down":0,"score":0,"__typename":"ReviewHelpfulness"},"publicRestaurantReply":null,"submittedDateTime":"2025-05-04T22:42:14Z","dinedDateTime":"2025-05-01T18:30:00-04:00","type":"OPENTABLEVERIFIED","fromPreviousConcept":false,"highlight":null,"photos":[],"__typename":"ReviewSearchResult"},{"reviewId":"OT-116407-30426-150004903235","text":"We have enjoyed Pukka several times.
