| - We regularly eat Indian food, whether it's at a cheap street eats place in Little India, or one of our favourite mid-range choices. So we were looking forward to trying Pukka.
This was my choice for my birthday, and it didn't disappoint.
Definitely advise making a reservation, or if you're lucky they may squeeze you in at the bar.
We started with the vegetable pakoras with a tomato chutney - crispy and flavourful.
We shared the European sea bass in a delicious coconut curry, daal makhani and bhindi bhaji tossed with garlic and ginger, with some basmati rice and a chutney plate. All delicious. Some Indian restaurants will miss delivering because all their dishes taste the same, not so for Pukka - everything was a new experience in spices and flavour. The one note is the spice level is very mild, including the "spicy pickle plate".
For dessert we had the sweet plate to share which includes 2 of 3 different mini desserts, these change periodically. We had marshmallows with sugared garam masala, spiced rice pudding squares, and a cardamom cashew cookie. Paired it with a Chocolate Chai, nicely spiced and not too sweet.
