Dum Pukht

Finally! A beautiful Indian restaurant in Markham! The interior décor is classy and the food presentation is very appealing. Your meal starts off with beautifully curled papadums and chutney.
We ordered chicken biryani, chicken tikka masala, and a tri– vegetable curry. Everything was amazing. The service was very good and attentive. I can’t wait to come back!

My family is as Indian as it gets and our standards at home are ridiculous but this place is the real deal.
Great place. Great food. Great service. Can’t wait to go back.

In a nutshell, it’s decent Indian food with great service in a gorgeous atmosphere! I mean, the restaurant is so pretty!!! 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 will be back!
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. I tried the coconut shrimp which was okay, and the dum chicken briyani. The briyani was the highlight– flavourful and had nice crispy onions and a generous serving of raita (yogurt dressing). We also tried an eggplant dish (yum!) and the cashew curry (I wasn’t the biggest fan of the cashews).
The naan was decent as well.
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).

Great experience, nice ambiance, food was great! Came here during lunch time, food came a bit slow, but the food was definitely worth the wait! This hit the spot! I’m very satisfied and will come again!

Lovely Ambience. Authentic Indian food.
But we heard the serving staff complain of long hours to the owner in front of us. We walked in at about 2:00pm and our server was in a rush to serve us our food. While the food and ambience was definitely worth visiting again I hope they train their people better.

Had a pretty amazing time dining here. The wait staff was nothing but courteous the entire time and I received some great service. For drinks we had wine and a pitcher of draft beer. Appetizers were a vegetable and shrimp pakora. And for entrees We ordered three different biryanis, a chicken karahi and a lamb dish. Would definitely come back here as every dish was very authentic!

WOW-​This restaurant was an excellent culinary experience in both presentation and food quality although non-​vegetarian far exceeded vegetarian options in terms of palatability and detail. The presentation was elegant and creative. The restaurant décor and ambiance was very up-​to-​date and reflective of a perfect social setting. Service was excellent.
