| - I find it ironic that the restaurant is called "pukka", i.e. "authentic", when the food is anything but. Not sure what "Indian food with a modern twist" is supposed to mean - diluted for North America?? I went for the Summerlicious menu and had the kale salad, the vegetable tikka masala, and the cardamom rice pudding. It wasn't terrible food, just altogether VERY bland. The kale salad was boring, the vegetable curry was nice but boring (had a lot of paneer though), and the cardamom rice pudding tasted like your standard rice pudding.
Plus the server was very aggressive with upselling us on beverages - she must have asked about five times, pushing sparkling water, wine, and chai. Very irritating.
In short, if you pretend to like Indian food but don't really like the spices that make it Indian, you can get plenty of paneer, "naan bread", and bland curries at "Pukka".
