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)."

I had the pleasure of dining at The Cottage Cheese, and I must say, their food were absolutely phenomenal! The paneer was incredibly fresh, soft, and perfectly cooked. Each dish, whether it was the Makai Posto or the crispy Okra , was bursting with authentic Indian flavors. The spices were well-balanced, and the creamy textures in main courses were heavenly. It’s evident that they use high-quality ingredients and take great care in their preparation. And our dinning experience elevated by their great service. Our both servers young lady and gentleman made us very comfortable. Highly Recommended!!

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.

Food is overall amazing, we tasted around 6 dishes on the menu and they were all equally good. A bit on the pricier side but portions match the price and we were full and happy at the end. Service is impeccable too and we liked how quiet the restaurant was. Only downside would be the decor that although intimate feels a bit bland and uninspiring. But food comes first and that was a great experience.

Excellent selection of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, and far better than the normal selection of desserts in an Indian restaurant. The dal makhani and mango paneer were excellent. I would definitely return if in the area.
