    Tomato soup after stirring
    Mary T.

    I was talking to the owners of ZeeV's Nutrition nearly two months ago. I asked them what their favourite Indian restaurant was. They said Dum Pukht in Markham. You know what's humourous? I knew where this eatery was. However, I never paid much attention to it because Tiny Tom Donuts is next door to it and tiny donuts have a special place in my heart. The name. They pronounce it properly and don't end up cursing the world. I can see making it a swearing event when you're tipsy. I decided to take their advice and ordered takeout for dinner here at the end of August. Geez, I am so behind with my reviews! I ordered through Skip the Dishes. There was a deal to get free creamy tomato soup when you spend $35 or more. Yes, please! I ordered the following items to get the free soup: - Chicken seekh kebab - Garlic naan - Chilli chicken with sauce It didn't take too long for my order to be completed. I was getting bubble tea, so I timed coming over to this restaurant nicely. There is plenty of parking around the eatery. I backed in to a spot and walked over. The restaurant is gorgeous inside. The bar looked nice with the blue lighting. A man at the eatery greeted me. I said that I was picking up a Skip the Dishes order. He asked for the order number. I provided it. My order was sitting on the bar table's counter. He fetched it and handed it over to me. I thanked him and happily left with my food. I got home and chowed down. I started with the creamy tomato soup. It was delicious. It had a touch of cream in it. It was creamy, bright, and bursting with tomato flavour. It had spices in it that I loved. I'd get this soup alone because it was that good. I am a sucker when it comes to seeing chilli chicken on the menu. I really shouldn't get it at a non-Hakka establishment. This version had bell peppers in it. I don't enjoy them in chilli chicken. I like onions, chilli, garlic, and chicken in this dish. That's it. Don't fancy it up by adding more produce. It also was an Indian-style version. It was okay, but not my cup of tea or bowl of spicy comfort food. The chicken seekh kebabs were outstanding. Each kebab was flavourful and juicy. I loved them. I got garlic naan, which paired perfectly with the kebabs. The garlic naan is a must. It's divine and heavenly. The garlic is the right amount for this garlic lover. I could eat this naan all day and not have any friends sit next to me due to my garlicky breath. It was excellent! The catch here is to order items that they specialize in and are authentic. The biriyani comes to mind. My friends love it, so I must try it next time. I would order everything again, except for the chilli chicken. I enjoyed my food and can't wait to return for more. (400)

    This place has the best briyani I've ever had. Of course, it's also probably the most expensive briyani I've ever had, but you can't have everything. The dum-pukht chicken briyani was very good: very flavourful, with complex flavours. It was also very moist because of the dough sealing the pot. The dough was plain, but there were many big pieces of boneless chicken inside. It came with a simple raita (fried onions, coriander & yogurt) which was decent; though the raita was included, it was still pricey.

    We ordered lunch from here and it was great! We ordered the chicken biryani, butter chicken, chicken vandaloo, tandoori chicken, and curd. It was packed very nicely and clean so nothing would spill over. I found it really cool how the biryani was packed and secured. It is on the spicy end so I do want to caution people who can't handle spice to maybe communicate that when ordering. I will definitely try coming into the restaurant to eat next time! I definitely recommend this place!

    Amazing authentic Indian food. My group had a amazing lunch here with all these delicious dishes. Shareable and incredible flavour! Server was attentive and well knowledgable answering our questions on the menu.

    3/5 is an aggregate score. I will split this review into 2 parts to be more accurate. 1) Taste - The food was tasty. The masala spice mix was layered and complex. So in terms of taste, I will score the meal 4/5. Had the goat been more tender, and the biryani a bit less soggy, I would have scored 5/5. 2) Value for money - 2.5/5. The portions were small for the amount I paid - $63 & change for just TWO item: 1 biryani & 1 curry. I was tempted to try the naan, but it was $6 a piece, which was ridiculous by any standard. $6 can buy an entire loaf of artisanal bread! 3) Service - 3.5/5. I tipped 15%, even though I wanted to tip just 10. The waiter was courteous, but he spent the entire time looking at his phone. I have had much more attentive service at mid to high end Indian restaurants and I think they are a little lacking here. Taken together, I average a 3/5 for this place.

    I came here with my aunt and uncle and family really great service, we ordered the butter chicken of course dum biryani, sizzling tandoori chicken fresh naan, chicken tikka masala and rashmalai, the food was excellent meat was cooked perfectly, of course my favourite is the butter chicken that was the star of the show

    Chicken Pekora

    Sitting down in the naturally blue light and wood decorated restaurant the first thing you are greeted with is a big QR code printed on a piece of paper. There are paper menus but you have to ask them for it and it is assumed that everybody has a phone that can scan the QR code and knows that the QR code is the menu. The server was kind of nice and took our order quickly. Not much to complain about aside from the fact that we had to ask for water once. For appetizer we ordered the chicken pekora. It was delicious and served with a green salad dressing along with a sweet and sour sauce. Well fried hot tender topped with ground carom seeds. As for the entrees, I orderded the Dum Pukt Biryani as well as the mutton Dum Pukt. It was a served with a naan topping cover and baked hot. Once the shell was broken the aroma of the spices and lamb came through and made for a mouth watering experience. The biryani was nice. Had crispy rice on top as well as a nice meaty rice body with ample lamb. It's quite a lot of sharp tomato flavor in this dish but it also means that the umami(meaty flavour) is very prominent. People who order to this dish have to be aware that they have unpitted fruits contained within the biryani and if you bite into it without looking, you might bite into one of the seeds. As for the mutton, It was delicious with an onion gravy that was quite spicy and thick. The land was tender and it was well cooked. Unfortunately the naan had a few issues. The first naan we ate was slightly on the doughy side. Meaning that it was chewy when bit into. The second order of naan that we ordered was not as chewy but all the naan that we ordered had quite a large portion of it that was burnt black by the tandoor. The price of an individual naan was also quite high at $6 for a garlic naan and $5 for butter naan. The naans themselves aren't quite big one could feasibly eat two of them, which means that the total for starch would end up being around $10 on top of the entree Overall, I was a decent experience The price was quite higher than expected. Each person ended up paying around 50 dollars for an shared appetizer and main with an order of naan.

    a platter of food on a table

    We thoroughly enjoyed the food here! We ordered the mixed grill as an appetizer and it was all cooked really well. Additionally, we ordered mango salad which was also great. For main course we ordered mutton biryani, mixed vegetable curry and a chicken dish. We also got butter garlic naan and it has to be one of the best naans ive ever had in my life. So soft and flavourful. Our server Piyush was fantastic. His overall service was great. We also enjoyed the lime soda drinks with jeera, they were great and reminded us of drinks back home in India. Would definitely go back!

    This place is not that famous when compare with other Indian restaurants at uptown but quite yummy there. Many different choices to choose and the people there explained to us very detail. well...today we were the ONLY table there and I hope more people can try this place, support the local, support ourselves.

    Hidden gem. Very unique combinations and presentation of food with high quality ingredients. The greek kabob is one of my absolute favorites, the sizzling skillet makes everything better. Must try.

    Chicken tikka was really good
    Dilys C.

    3.5 Interesting atmosphere - more of a lounge style. - Biryani lamb has lots of spices (and more than I can handle) with tender lamb pieces. - Butter chicken was average, but it contained lots of meat in it which I liked - Chicken tikka (I enjoyed the most) was grilled and flavourful. Tender and moist that came on a hot sizzling plate The naan we ordered was a bit burnt that lost the fluffiness and became hard Overall, the food was good but on the pricier side. Service was attentive.

    Sweet lassi, pairs nicely with spicy dishes to take off some heat
    Hannah D.

    Came here for dinner on a Saturday night without a reservation and was seated immediately. My go-to order is always the chicken tikka masala, which was cooked to perfection! The chicken was very tender mixed with some crisp veges which gave the dish some crunch. My bf ordered the lamb vindaloo which had a kick to it. Even though I normally can't handle too much spice, I couldn't stop eating it. The service here always exceeded my expectations. I ordered the sweet lassi, but the server accidentally gave me the mango lassi instead. I didn't really mind because I was ok with the mango anyways. The server later came by and gave me another sweet lassi on the house because he said he messed up my drink order. That's so considerate! When the meal is done, they'll give you some hot towels to clean your hands which is nice. I've been coming here for over 2 years now and the food is always 5 stars. Definitely worth giving this place a try!

All the food was well seasoned. There is a small dessert section. The rice dessert was delicious. The ice cream options looked like they needed to be changed. They were either the dregs or looked a bit too used that I didn't feel like taking from it. Great place for a quick tasty lunch at a reasonable price, $16.99.
