It was warm inside and dark, really setting a nice ambience for a date night. The food was good but not outstanding. Although it's considered an Indian fusion restaurant, some dishes (duck breast) didn't taste very Indian. We ordered the Pukka Chaat, which was flavourful and with a tiny kick of spice. We also ordered the duck breast with blueberry curry, but the curry was more of a jam in my opinion. Finally we got the pumpkin curry which was delicious but it is mildly spiced.

Ranging from their Pukka Chaat to start off any meal or their hearty mains such as their paneer and Seafood Curry, it is a great meal to share with friends and family!

Food: I honestly enjoyed all the dishes I had from Pukka. From my recent visit, the chaat is a yummy appetizer to go for when you want a refreshing mix of textures. The Boatman's Fish and Prawns and Punjabi Chicken Curry were each distinct and so flavourful. The Boatman's Fish and Prawns reminded me of a seafood bisque the taste is different though more of a turmeric and lemon coconut curry base. The portion of garlic naan could have been more but did not disappoint. Service/atmosphere: The waitress who served us was patient, and gave amazing customer service that was welcoming. I hope Pukka considers opening a brunch menu at their restaurant, I still remember the pakora eggs benedict they served when Ji (their brunch restaurant) was open back then.

The fish was perfectly flaky, Dal Makhani luxuriously creamy, and the Butter Chicken? Pure comfort in a bowl. Portions are generous, presentation is thoughtful, and the balance of spices is just right. Whether dining in or ordering takeout, Pukka never misses. A true gem for modern Indian cuisine!
