" tried Pukka over the weekend, and what a delight! The tasting menu was a perfect way to explore the different flavors this place has to offer. The lamb lollipops were juicy, and the sweet potato samosas were packed with flavor. The only downside was getting a bit too full too fast—next time, I might opt for single dishes instead. It’s a lively place that ensures a good time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Pukka for dinner and was thoroughly impressed. The decor is modern yet cozy, and the staff were welcoming and attentive. I ordered the eggplant tartare and chicken 65, and both were remarkable. The only downside was the price—while the food was fantastic, I felt the portions could be a bit larger for the price. But overall, a very solid experience, and I left happy. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant was recommended to me, and I couldn't be happier! Pukka delivers an innovative take on Indian cuisine, with an aesthetic that matches the sophistication of the menu. The flavors in every dish were intricate yet comforting, particularly the pumpkin curry! The one aspect that could be improved is the dessert options—they were a bit lacking in creativity. Still, I would highly recommend visiting this gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who has experienced Indian food in its homeland, I found the dishes at Pukka to be a delightful blend of tradition and innovation. The lamb curry was rich and flavorful, but what blew me away was the stuffed paneer—it was simply perfect. The ambiance of the restaurant felt warm and welcoming, making it an ideal spot for a dinner date. Highly recommend if you're seeking authentic Indian flavors with a modern twist! " (*Curated Review*)

" An unforgettable experience! Pukka stands out with its artistic presentation and bold flavors. The Vegetable pakora was perfectly crisp, served with exquisite chutneys. My only concern was that, at times, the restaurant felt a bit crowded. Nonetheless, the staff kept the energy flowing and made sure we were taken care of. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a unique Indian dining experience. " (*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*)
