" Just had dinner at Pukka and I couldn't be happier! Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, especially the butter chicken. It was creamy and packed with flavor. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of vegetarian options. The ambiance made for a nice evening out. If I had to nitpick, I would say some meals could come with more rice, but that's a small detail. A fantastic dining experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of dining at Pukka recently, and it was a delightful experience. The flavors were vibrant, and the dishes were beautifully presented. I particularly enjoyed the stuffed paneer and the mango yogurt. However, I found the lamb lollipops to be a bit underwhelming—lacking depth of flavor. Overall, though, the atmosphere was lively, and I would consider revisiting for the other menu options. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pukka is known for its inventive approach to Indian cuisine, and I was not disappointed. The sweet potato samosas were such a treat, with just the right touch of sweetness and spice. The setting is perfect for a relaxed dining experience. That said, I found some items, like the curry, to be a bit on the heavier side. Still a fantastic spot that I will revisit soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pukka offers an exquisite dining experience! From the moment I stepped in, I was captivated by the atmosphere. The menu is a refreshing take on traditional Indian cuisine. The stuffed paneer was gloriously delicate, paired perfectly with the curry. I did feel that some items could use a touch more spice—the focus seemed to lean towards catering to a more subdued palate. However, I left satisfied and eager to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pukka provided one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time! The vibrant flavors and creative flair with dishes were very memorable. I particularly enjoyed the chaat and how it had multiple textures and seasonings. The only minor quibble was with the dessert, which didn’t stand out as much as the savory options. All in all, a great spot for incredible Indian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband's birthday dinner was a fantastic affair at Pukka! The service was top-notch; the staff went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our meal. We tried the chaat and chicken 65 to start, followed by the lamb chops and butter chicken for mains. Although the prices were on the higher side, the food quality justifies it. We’ll definitely recommend and come back for more special occasions! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Pukka was a mixed bag. On one hand, the flavors were rich and authentic, especially the chaat, which was delightful. On the other hand, I felt that the service could have been a bit faster; we waited quite a while after ordering. The prices are reasonable, but I do wish the portions were more generous. Nevertheless, I'd recommend trying their unique dishes. Worth a visit! " (*Curated Review*)
