It was a busy Saturday night but the waiter got us a seat under 10 mins which was great as we were a small party of 3. We ordered lamb seekh kebab, lamb biryani which comes un a pot wrapped in naan that when peeled away was simply aromatic heaven. Chicken tikka masala was a little thick not saucey that would allow for great naan dipping but still tasted great. Tandoori mushrooms were amazing! The naans, both garlic and butter were good, just really small compared to other restaurants. The gulab jamon and Kheer was a nice finish with masala chai. We left full and happy read more

We ordered my favorite saag paneer, butter chicken, chicken biriyani, and some naan (regular and garlic). The saag paneer was super bland. Definitely would not reorder again. Butter chicken was really good I thought. It had some spices in it that I'm not used to tasting in butter chicken. I have some friends that have tried the butter chicken from here before, but they're not a fan. To each their own I guess. The chicken biriyani was good, had nice spices, but it was literally just rice. I think there were 5 really small cubes of chicken, that was it. The naan was nothing special. I think though if I had it fresh, and not steaming in tin foil for the drive home, it would have been better. I wonder if they have buffet lunch, I would definitely be interested in giving their other dishes a try. read more

Dum Pukht - Naan, Saag Paneer, Butter Chicken, Chicken Biriyani - Indian Near Me - Markham, Ontario

If you don't give this place at least a 4/5 well then you Dum son! While there might be an endless stream of mildly hilarious puns a white dude like me could make about this name at first glance, I'd be remiss if I didn't explain what the name actually means (to show I'm not ignorant). Dum Pukht, according to a new Yelp friend of mine, means "that which is cooked with steam". However, It should mean "That which is cooked perfectly and full with flavour" because in my humble opinion, the food here is on point!! Our group split up into smaller groups of 3-4 to allow for easier sharing and bill splitting, and while I was looking with FOMO as the others got their food, I feel our dining trio did pretty well. We ordered the Mango salad, Veggie Samosa Appetizer, Butter Chicken, the Dum Pukht special shrimp Biryani another chicken dish (yellow sauce) and Garlic Naan. The mango salad was pretty good, having ordered this dish in Thai restaurants I was expecting something similar, so I was surprised then it was actually a lettuce and mango mixture. Still great though and very flavourful and refreshing. The samosa was quite small and you received 4 in an order. That said, they were prepared fresh and came out piping hot and full of flavour. The butter chicken was just shy of a religious experience for my mouth. I know it's hard to tell the difference between one butter chicken and another. But believe me when the chicken is moist still and the sauce is so velvety that is slides across your tongue with ease - you'll know the difference between good bad and HALLELUJAH!!! Paired with the garlic buttery naan and I could have married this dish (if I wasn't already engaged). Equally delicious was the special DP shrimp biryani which was packed with shrimp and them topped with naan (like a bread bowl almost) and baked/finished in the tandoor. The best is the presentation at the table when the server cuts open the bowl for you and pulls back the bread to reveal what treasures await you inside! Definitely coming back when I'm in Markham, especially when the bill for 3 of us (including drinks) was less than $80! Come here, have the butter chicken... Eatcrest Out! read more

Dum Pukht - The best Indian beer! - Indian Near Me - Markham, Ontario

My wife and I came here for dinner. My friends were raving about this place so we decided to give it a shot. Came here around 7 pm and got seated right away. Interior decor is amazing and the boys room is extremely clean. The kitchen is right beside the entrance to the washroom so walking there you can see the chef preparing kebabs or naan, a neat touch. When I got back we order drinks. I ordered a pint of Stella and my wife went with Masala Chai. Our waiter brought us the drinks and we went ahead to order our meals. We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, Dum Pukht Shrimp Biryani and Mix Chicken Sampler. The waiter then ask if we want butter naan? I said ok, we get two. The waiter was like, no no, one is enough. We found out one IS enough. To us that was an extremely helpful advice from our waiter. Now the chicken: The Chicken Tikka Masala and Mix Chicken Sampler is absolutely delicious and the BEST East Asian chicken I ever had!!! Chicken is moist, juicy and melts in your mouth. Cutting the chicken is cutting like butter. Dum Pukht Shrimp Biryani was also superbly done. The biryani is cooked perfectly; soaking in all the goodness and the shrimp was tender. My wife loves the butter naan here. Naan is soft, light and goes well with any dish. My wife and I really enjoy our dinner here. Great experience and so glad we came. $70 dollars after tax, for that food and drink?! Definitely will be back! read more

In a nutshell, it's decent Indian food with Average service in a extravagantly decorated atmosphere!! I mean, the restaurant is so extravagant (a little over the top- but pretty none the less)!!! I would give it 4 stars - but it lost a star because of the mango shake. I take shakes&lassis seriously at Indian restaurants. I recommend that you do NOT, DO NOT come here for any special days aka Mother's Day, Father's Day unless you like mediocre food with a side of sass and attitude. Have an enjoyable meal elsewhere- or try it here another day. Must try: dum briyani (obviously!!) Overall The place looks great, the menu is extensive and the food is decent. For special occasions, a change in atmosphere definitely would consider this place. I will come here again to try some chicken dishes and maybe even the lobster dish! We tried coming here without reservations Sunday evening and it was booked solid. So- just a note there. We tried the onion bhaji which was good- maybe a little overdone in the fryer but it tasted fine. Dishes to try: baigan patiala, dum briyani, chicken shahi korma (I asked for it spicy- they made it on one visit without fuss, the second visit The waiter wasn't accommodating). The naans were great! Dishes to avoid: cashew curry, coconut shrimp curry Pros: generous serving sizes, flavourful and a neat presentation Cons: Mango shake (sadly this was not up to par- they need to revamp this recipe to make it more restaurant quality and less Indian banquet hall quality). I'm a polite patron usually, the only thing is I ask for things spicy. I've had some Sassy waitstaff on occasion... Makes me consider dropping it down a star. I think if you're not a local of this cuisine, you may get better treatment. read more

If you're looking for a fancy South Asian restaurant with good food, you should try this place. The restaurant is nicely decorated, very clean, contemporary in feel, with dishes that bear the name of the restaurant on their gleaming white dishes. Admittedly I was like others who have made immature comments about the restaurant's name, but what the name translates to is "cooked with steam". Signature Dum Pukht dishes are served covered in a flatbread-like dome, which preserves the steam in the cooking vessel. This was my first time trying Dum Pukht, so for comparison purposes with other Indian restaurants, hubby and I ordered vegetarian samosas, butter chicken and rice. We asked the server for recommendations regarding another vegetable dish, and he said we would not regret it if we ordered the methi mutter malai (peas and ricotta cheese with fenugreek served medium spicy). Before our food arrived, we were given complimentary papadums with tamarind sauce and mint chutney. The samosas were quite large and one order comes with 3 pieces. My relatively weak tolerance for spice was pushed towards the edge with the spice level in the samosas. The main dishes were quite tasty. The butter chicken was pretty good (but not the best I've ever had, as I like my butter chicken sauce creamier). The methi mutter malai was tasty as well, creamy, and of tolerable spice level. However, I found it lacking in texture (which I appreciate in food), thus I'd probably sooner try another vegetable dish first before trying that particular one again. Service is very good and the staff are helpful and friendly. I look forward to coming back again to try their signature dishes. 3.25 stars. (73/100) read more

Dum Pukht - Mutton Dum Phuket (Top Right) , Chicken Methi, (Bottom Right), Rogan Josh (Bottom Left), Palak Paneer (Top Left) and Butter Naan - Indian Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Ambiance- hmmm....how can I explain. Imagine a wedding banquet hall. The glamour - the lights and clean and massiveness. Buuuut- you don't have to wear a blazer and pants and instead go shorts and flip flops. Yes- that pretty sums up the ambiance. Good lighting- Great decor - furniture and spacing. Service-It was pretty dead and there was only one server. He was pretty diligent. We got seated at a booth and the guy making the naans can be seen thru a glass wall and he was kind of staring at us. I dont blame him tho- as we are in his field of view...so I guess it isn't creepy because we are in his line of sight. Food- The naans are humongous. I would order 1 per person as they slice in 4 pieces. Ordered the aloo paratha as well. $4 a little steep but tasted amazing. It was 2 of us so we got ambitious and ordered 2 curries. Did not need that much as we ended up taking most of it home. We ordered the chicken dum pukth, my snapchat friends loved it. When the waiter slices the bread seal that it is cooked in and folds the bread. I actually ate the bread like me own indian naan taco. The chicken was flavorful and tasty- and more then enough for 2 people. Also got the lamb vindaloo- a little too sour for my liking even though the meat was tender and very well prepared. The chicken easily takes the win for flavor. Price- $15 an item- this place is one of the more expensive indian restaurants in the area. Compared to Taste of India down the street which offers AYCE for the same price. However- for the right mood, privacy and experience it is perfect. It was worth it!! read more

It's places like these that make you want to review food! They have placed emphasis on everything that makes a good restaurant- the food, ambience (although slightly tacky for my taste) and service. The owner seemed involved with the ongoing although helped out as well. Don't expect a fancy silver service but for sure there is a warmth in it. I got the dahi bhalla and the chicken dum pukht biriyani. The dahi bhalla was good...a mix of what you get in the south and north of india. And as I was typing I got handed a warm towel in a neat plastic wrap to wipe my hands with! Nice touch :) now I feel happy about the five stars for sure ;) The dum biriyani came wrapped in a dough and had to be cut open. It was fragrant, on the spicier side just like I need it to be. The curd that comes along was a bit less, but since I had the dahi bhalla, made up for it. All in all a real good place, restored my faith in food in Toronto a bit read more

Dum Pukht - Not worth the price, $15+ tax, you get a 7" round container of biryani and yogurt, no napkins and cutlery. Not planning to visit again. - Indian Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Made a trip down to dum pukht after so many people recommended​ it. Don't​ know why they named themselves dum pukht. It's very misleading as we thought we would experience​ more Pakistani​ dishes and more items would be slow cooked but all of the dishes are Indian​ and have lots of curries. The atmosphere​ is good. The food was okay...the biryani is cooked in dum and comes covered with a roti layer to preserve the flavours. the papad was way overcooked and the edges were burnt, not a good sign as a restaurant. We make better papads at home without burning it. The garlic naan barely had any garlic taste and most of the curries we tried lacked flavour read more

Right when I walked in, I felt like my eyes got assaulted with the amount of decor happening but I slowly adjusted to it and actually enjoyed the amount of time/effort put into designing this restaurant. The restaurant is a little cold though so grab a sweater if you're planning to come by. Food was good - not the best Indian I've had but decent. We ordered a tandoori chicken (half), goat rogan josh and butter chicken. The dishes weren't spicy or flavourful enough but that's just my take because I like to add a lot of spices when I make Indian food. Prices were fair considering the portion size (usually they serve it to you in a tiny bowl). We ended up spending around $60. I used to go to the one in Flemingdon Park called Shaheen Tika & Kebab House but the cook (apparently) left to work at Safa Tika & Kebab House and now (apparently) he is no longer there so we go to Kennedy and Ellesmere/Lawrence area to Karaikudi (which has amazing butter chicken). read more

7 of us went here for a work lunch. No problems parking. Entrance is on the side. The interior of this restaurant is beautiful. It was dark, but not too dark. Fancy, but not overly fancy. A portion of the kitchen is visible, where you can see someone making the naan, which was pretty cool. We were Instantly greeted and seated. We went at 12:30pm on a Thursday and it was not busy, but not empty either. We decided to go with the 17.99/pp "buffet" style service, which is a set menu that is still served to your table. We had pasta salad, corn soup, 2 types of chicken, rice, naan, 2 veggie dishes and honestly... I was super impressed. Eggplant and lentil dishes were a *little* too spicy for me, but the coconut curry chicken... will have me returning for sure. Everyone I was with was definitely loving it and already wants to make plans to go back. My only small complaint was that I felt like I was being watched, as I was eating. I understand that in order to bring the next course, the servers need to pay some attention to the table but I felt as if it was more blatant staring than 'checking up.' Meh, I will still go back. read more

Delicious food, expertly presented by the friendly Vnish. We'll come back!

We took their banquet services for the birthday party celebration for our Dads 75th Birthday and experience was pathetic or I would say Pathetic is an understatement. Service is worst Ever I have experienced in my life (across India , Canada and US) despite giving 2000$ for 30 people and 4 kids less than 2 years old. After booking Chander (Manager or owner) suggested we can select food from menu and let him know. However after we gave our choices he changed couple items from menu saying we don't/ can't serve it giving some reason or the other that too closer to the function date . Their banquet was dirty and Center stage had all left over decorations from previous party. Now about food : it was a buffet and Few serving plates were dirty . We had to wait for the food for half an hour and they didnt get us what we had ordered (normal Naan instead Of Garlic Naan). Dessert took ever to come! There also same story instead of kulfi falooda they bought Rasmalai. After informing them they changed . The attendant kept saying I am bringing food and then said we have people in restaurant too to take care off. They didn't provided bowl to take food and their argument was no one provides bowl for food . Even for dessert no bowls were provided (Kulfi falooda and Gulab jamun !) I asked for the manager all the while and attendant said he is there but busy. In the end attendant simply lied when confronted infront of manager when he finally came that everything was ok and there was only 10 min delay. Chander/Manager was aware about all this as you can figure as he manages everything there. They both were playing good cop/bad cop strategy ( that too they couldn't act well.. lol- second class). My suggestion for Chander : if you are not able to manage the restaurant and banquet together close one thing! read more

Nicely decorated restaurant with a kitchen that allows you to see how they make their naan. Came on a week night and the restaurant wasn't packed at all, which is nice. The restaurant is very spacious with nice seating all around. There's plenty of decor all around, from shiny tiles to various things hung on the walls, which added a nice touch. There's a variety of menu items available, with every section listed clearly. If you are not sure with the dishes, ask the server and they will describe it for you. We ordered a number of dishes from each section on the menu just to try different things. Now, the portions aren't huge but if you come with a group you get the chance to try a bit of everything. The dishes were decent in terms of flavour, but no specific one stuck out to me, although the presentation of the food were pretty nice. Service was a bit strange... on several occasions, our meal wasn't half finished yet but one of the servers kept coming over asking if we're done... and we're like no? (almost like you're being rushed so not too sure what that was about). Other than that, they were pretty courteous and attentive staff. Would return for their decor, but not so much for the food. read more

3rd time ordering chicken biryani from here. So far it has been consistent. The price looks steep at first, but worth it. Decent portion. Boneless chicken. Decent amount of raita too. Just the right masala. Some other places charge less for a biryani but lacks masala/flavour. Definitely my go-to place for biryani fix read more

Oh my gosh, this place is delicious. I've been here so many times now I've lost count. Surprisingly every time I come it's not very busy, and these were all during peak hours. The decor is nice, actually legit, and the service is amazing. The waiters and waitresses are definitely very knowledgable about their food products and they're great in recommending food if you're unsure what to get. Every time I come here I'm tempted to order everything, and my friends are always likely to do the same. Our only saviour is our waiter who has to hold us back and tell us if we ordered too much food. Onto their food, I love all their food. You can't go wrong with it; you could blindly pick and whatever shows up will be amazing. Their biryani is so delicious, I've spent many nights drooling after it since trying it. So far I've had their chicken biryani baked under a sheet of what tastes like roti to me (I know next to nothing about Indian culture so I'm probably butchering all the terms) and it's just heavenly. I'd recommend ordering a side of butter chicken to go with it or any sauce dishes because sauce is separate and vice versa should you decide to order a sauce dish. Their meat is so tender, it's bliss! Can I also just give an applause to their naan because it's so fluffy and chewy and flavourful, I wish I could eat it every night if it weren't for those blasted carb intakes. The price of this place is very fair. Normally for two people the price comes up to around $23 after tax and tips. I normally order the butter chicken, two/three orders of the naan, and the dum pukht chicken biryani to share with my extra. Definitely recommend! read more

We are regular customers at Dum Pukht. I phoned yesterday and Anilbhai told me just come over and I will take care of you. We invited our friends and after dinner my husband forgot his wallet.

Service, service, service!! When will businesses learn that service means everything? Dum Pukht (hate the name btw) while well decorated and designed, failed to provide adequate service during my visit. The food while a bit on the pricey side, was well seasoned and flavourful. We ordered the chicken tikka sampler, the coconut fish curry, and their chef featured biryani dish. While all dishes were good, albeit the dry biryani, the 1 hour wait was ridiculous even when the server/manger apologized three times. My rule is if u apologize twice, thens its three strikes! Drinks had to be asked for, the wine was returned as the glass was filthy!! We had to ask for menus, as well as the complimentary papadum. I can understand it was a busy night but when staff are not trained to be interactive and empowered to take initiative in helping customers that's just plain dumb! The manager did offer to pay for one glass of wine. Sorry guys, but you need to work on your service game. read more

Nice interior compared to many other local Indian food restaurants in the area - lots of parking. We made reservations; upon calling we were told we could have a table for 2 at 7pm. The guy didn't want our name, which we found odd and asked him if he wanted it for the reservation - he said no. Of course we arrive and the place is quite full and everyone is puzzled that we have a reservation but there is no record of this. Whatev, we just want a seat as the aroma of foods was definitely making us super hungry. Luckily, there was an empty table and we were able to be seated. There is a large menu with lots of delicious sounding dishes. We opted for chaat papri and cheese naans to start and the dum phukt chicken biryani and chicken tikka masala for mains. The meal comes with a complimentary starter of papadums and a cilantro and tangy sauce. The papadums were a tad on the stale side. The cilantro sauce was our fav. Cheese naan - oh SO good. We both remarked we would return if only even for this. Delicious and served hot- yum! Chaat papri - we are big fans of this dish in general so always make a point of trying it out at any new place we go. This one we found too tangy and lacked much of the trademark chickpeas and potato and had far too much of the yoghurt. Chicken biryani - delicious. Just the right amount of spice (I'm brown and LOVE my spicy food!), but not too overbearing. A generous portion which comes cooked in a pot covered with a naan. The naan is inedible as we are cautioned it's not cooked through but it makes for a really neat presentation. The sever cuts it open at the table. Tender pieces of chicken breast dot the dish. Chicken tikka masala - flavour central. Fresh peppers are cooked to a mild crispness which makes the dish even tastier. Generous sized portion. Meal comes with a small dish of raita which was nice. Service was good. We will definitely be back to try out more of the vast menu. read more

Was craving for some Indian food and thought we'd try somewhere new. Glad we found this place! Staff: They seemed uninterested in being there which was the only negative we had about this place. They seemed slow with responses and when they were taking our orders they weren't even focused on us, which in my opinion is quite rude (this happened a few times). Ambience: The place is spacious, bright and very comfortable. Loved the décor and the feel of the place. It isn't elaborately decorated, but I appreciated the nice plating and clean look. Food: I had the Veggie Samosa (apparently they were out of the Meat Samosas). They were nice and filled with potatoes and peas; I just wish I could have a meat samosa since I prefer more savoury flavours. I had the Chicken Shahi Korma with some Butter Naan. Loved it! Big portions, juicy chicken, and lots of flavour! I'll definitely be back for the food, not sure about the service. read more

Do your health some favour. Avoid the place. Their foods are full of color. Their service is 1/10. Time to serve is ages. Biryanis are nowhere close to be called Dum. Just the name is Dum Pukht; not the contents. Google the recipe... Piece of advice: try something million times better yet the same price or lesser like Sanjeev Kapoors Khazana . One thing that I can commend is that their owner is responsive. What can he do when the staff is useless. Can't micro manage them for everything and every time. So... learn from others' mistakes. Don't make your own. God bless. read more

Dum Pukht - Colorful??? - Indian Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Went here to celebrate a birthday with 10 people (my first visit). When we arrived there were probably 2 other tables occupied so it wasn't busy at all. Nonetheless the waiter didn't bother to come take our order until at least 30 minutes after we were all seated and even then we had to waive him down. Waiter didn't even pay attention to us while taking our order. He seemed frustrated when we asked questions. Numerous dishes were not available to order of the menu. When the food arrived it was basically dumped on our table any explanations as to what was what. It took forever for our drinks to arrive. The lamb kebab was dry and void of any flavor. The accompanying sauces were pretty good. The byriani was terrible (we tried the lamb, chicken and shrimp). The chicken Tikka was average. The Naan was pretty good. Overall the food was a huge let down. The quality of food here is lower than most Indian fast food joints. The service was unacceptable. I would advice against even considering this place. read more

Came to visit this place to check out their menu and try some of the food that were popular among Yelpers since we were around the area. Well, I can only give 2 stars for our overall experience. The food was nothing special other than the little presentation done for the "biryani-type" dish we ordered which I do not even remember what it was called.. The mixed grilled meats were dry.. The pani puri came but lacking the chick peas ( only potatoes and no flavour at all ) which was evident of disregard on the part of the chef /cook in terms of customer satisfaction. However, it is up to you to try and maybe have a different experience from this place. But we are not coming back. read more

I heard about this place from people I work with. They raved about it so I thought I would give it a try since I was craving for Indian food. We didn't know we had to make reservations but was told that they will see if there were any unreserved spots for us. I was happy they had one for us because we were very hungry. We sat down and noticed that the seats were not wiped down. There was still food debris on them. The table was a little dirty as well. Then it took about 10 minutes before we got our menus. If you can look past the messy seats, the decore is actually pretty nice. You can also see the chefs cook. Now with the ordering. We asked the waiter for recommendations but he seemed more interested in just rushing us to order. We ended up ordering the chicken sampler dish which came with three types of chicken. It was tasty but wished the portions were a little bigger. Next we had the shrimp briyani. It was baked in sort of bread that opened up like a pie. it wasn't bad but not as flavourful as I had hoped for. Maybe we should have ordered the chicken briyani. We didn't have the best experience here and I certainly don't believe it was worth the price. read more

ATMOSPHERE: Dum Pukht has very nice decor in a dimly lighted setting. It has an overall classy look and a quiet atmosphere. SERVICE: The service here isn't the fastest, but I was also with a party of eight, so I'm sure the large order contributed to this. FOOD: I had lamb vindaloo which was surprisingly tough and dry. However, I tried another lamb dish at the table, and that meat was tender and cooked properly. The chat papri was a great appetizer, too. For dessert I had gulab jamun which was just as I'd hoped it would be based on previous experiences eating it in my home town. VALUE: The portions are a tad small for the prices, but overall this place isn't a bad buy. A few tweaks here and there could improve this aspect. read more

A very nice Indian restaurant. The service was great however a tad slow. It took them a long time to fill up our water glasses. We had to ask every time our glasses were empty. They also had no explanation to why they had no lobster although it was listed on the menu. We asked multiple times why and there really wasn't an answer other than "we don't have any." The tandoor foods were quite good as was the daal. Overall, food was tasty and portion sizes weren't too bad either. Not sure it rocked my world enough to go back however I'd recommend it to people who want good Indian food that's not the typical stuff around TORONTO. read more
