This event is what IWFS Toronto is all about: a "modern" exploration of Indian Cuisine. Pukka Restaurant demonstrated some of the finest subtleness of what is and can be the best cuisine South Asia has to offer. Our menu took us on a journey via decadent tastes, while maintaining a lightness that enchanted our palates. What a treat! It is hard at best to combine wines with Indian dishes, but Rob Reynolds handled the job with great aplomb and all the choices were no less than perfect.
This event was a stretch from the ordinary and truly was an exploration of “world cuisine”.
