We had the before-6pm menu for $25 per person which includes a started and an entree. As starters, we had the eggplant and the chickpea tempura (both vegetarian). I had the South Indian Vegetable Curry as a main dish (vegetarian), the other people at the table went for the fish. Every single dish was very good. The presentation of the food goes significantly above your average Indian restaurant. The same goes for the service and the entire atmosphere of the restaurant. Everything is highly professional.
Two negative comments:
- It is very expensive. But as most times, you get what you pay for.
- The desert, a mango mouse, was good, but could have been more exciting, especially for the price.
And finally: I usually complain that restaurants are too cold. But we came to Pukka on maybe the hottest day of the year and the restaurant was very warm. Given that this is only a problem for maybe 3 days in a typical Toronto summer, I didn't take it into account for the rating. But it added maybe a little too much to the South Indian atmosphere for my taste!
