Was there recently, just some thoughts on the place. The best thing about it was that the atmosphere was definitely chic, and the wine list was excellent; these qualities, really set Pukka apart when compared to other Indian restaurants downtown.
The food was just okay. Nothing exception, nothing earth shattering. The samosas were tasty, but uninspired. For mains we had the butter chicken and punjabi chicken. Both of which were a little disappointing. The flavor of both dishes was underwhelming; I'd even go as far as saying they were timid.
The presentation was excellent, as it definitely lived up to the air of the restaurant. This however is the main problem with the restaurant. Far too much emphasis was placed on style and too little on substance.
Pukka, in my opinion, is a good choice if you're looking for Indian to take your WASPy relatives or friends. However, if you really enjoy Indian, I'd recommend you give Pukka a pass.
