About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Innovative
  • Good for groups
Dum Pukht is an Indian restaurant serving authentic cuisine from the region. The inside of the restaurant is elegantly decorated with plenty of golds and reds punctuating the tasteful decor. The dining area is extremely spacious, allowing guests to not feel crammed and enjoy their meal in comfort.

Dum Pukht has a lunch buffet option during the day that guests can take advantage of. For one set price, diners can sample most of the menu at their leisure, trying out all that Dum Pukht has to offer without committing to one single dish. The menu mostly consists of different curry specialties and tandoori, which is dishes cooked in a signature clay oven to maintain maximum moisture within the dish. The most popular item here, the chicken tandoori, is glazed in garlic, ginger and cilantro. Each meal comes with complimentary papadums and cilantro with a tangy sauce for dipping.

    The food was great tasting, but definitely not worth the price. The portions were quite small, especially considering how much we paid. The service was average—nothing particularly impressive, but nothing terrible either. Overall, the experience was underwhelming, and I expected better value for the money. Unfortunately, I wouldn't say this restaurant offers a good balance between price, portion size, and quality.

    We tried the Indo-Chinese food, specifically vegetarian dishes like hot and sour soup, manchurian, paneer chili, and noodles, and all were delicious. I've had Indo-Chinese at many places, and this was among the top. Service was good too. Fantastic experience and look forward to being back.

    Food was very good. Best Indian food I've had in York/Durham region in the last 5 or so years. Nothing better than hot, fresh butter naans being brought to the table paired with a delicious butter chicken or palak paneer. The flavours were definitely authentic Indian, but on average a little mild for our taste ( I think they served them at medium spice level). Will likely take it up a notch next round. The presentation of the Biryani was great, and the flavour I would rate about a 7 out of 10. As a resident of Hyderabad, India for several years, I might have been a bit spoiled. Still on the search for the best Biryani in the GTA. Next visit we will enjoy some of their Hakka offerings.

    Highly recommend this very comfortable restaurant with excellent service. The menu has interesting and unique fusion dishes in addition to the impeccably prepared traditional favourites.  We will be back!

    Went here with my wife for dinner recently. The ambience and vibe of the place were nice, but the lighting was extremely dim to the point where it was genuinely difficult to read the menu. We noticed multiple tables using their phone flashlights just to see what they were ordering. We ordered the creamy tomato soup, veg Manchurian, paneer tikka masala, butter naan, and a mango lassi. The creamy tomato soup tasted like it had been prepared much earlier and was served completely cold. The veg Manchurian looked great from the outside with a crispy coating, but the inside was soggy and felt undercooked. I had specifically requested the paneer gravy to be made spicy, and the waiter even confirmed it, but when it arrived it was creamy and sweet instead, which was disappointing. The butter naan was decent, and the mango lassi was actually pretty good. Service was also quite slow, likely due to the limited number of servers available. We had to wait quite a while for the dishes, and we could see a few other patrons getting visibly frustrated with the delays too. Overall, the place has potential because the ambience is good, but the food execution and service experience definitely need improvement.

    Live everything about this restaurant. The food was phenomenal and so was the service. Unfortunately, it was a cold and windy evening, and we were seated close to the doors. Unfortunately, every time the automatic doors opened it was freezing.

    The food tasted stale. We ordered dal makhni and rumali roti- it tasted like dal was not fresh and rotis were undercooked

    We had a reservation but ended up waiting over 30 minutes with no one attending to us. The restaurant appeared to be overbooked yet continued accepting reservations. There was no manager available, and the customer service was very poor. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
