About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Vegetarian-friendly

"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)."

We love Pukka! It is our favourite restaurant in Toronto! The service is more like warm hospitality! The food is delicious and vibrant with flavour!! Everything we have tried on the menu we have enjoyed! The decor is lovely! We celebrated a graduation milestone and we were surprised by complimentary Prosecco to toast the occasion! Eating at Pukka feels like eating at our home away from home! Thank you!
