Dum Pukht Yonge

We celebrated a super cold and snowy New Year’s Eve at this new location with really delicious food and live music by the guitarist Zeeshan Ali! The fish appetizer and the drinks were a great start! The Goat Rogan Josh was delicious… and the Shahi Tukra portion size was amazing! Only it was a bit too sweet… other than that, everything was perfect! Oh, and they even gave a little goodie bag with a New Year card, a trio of Ferro Rocher and a Dum Pukht pen… that was a beautiful gesture! Thank you team Dum Pukht for giving us a sweet evening!

We visited Dum Pukht at their Yonge and Sheppard location for my birthday dinner. We tried the chicken sampler and fish koliwada for starters and chicken dum pukht biriyani for our main. All dishes were delicious and very well presented. We had originally planned to order the gulab jamun for the theatrical presentation with the liquid nitrogen but they were out so we were recommended the kunafa nest rasmalai. The dessert tasted fantastic and the presentation was completed table-side, which made for the perfect dinner and a show. Additionally, would like to thank our server Arun. He arranged for a lovely birthday cake complete with sparklers and played a happy birthday song. He even brought us a heater to the table since it was quite cold next to the door where we were seated, which was highly appreciated. Dum Pukht made for a wonderful birthday celebration and I highly recommend the place to make your date nights more special.

Dum Pukht Yonge is an elegant Indian restaurant located right by Sheppard–Yonge Station; it’s accessible by subway line 1 and 4 and if you’re driving, there’s parking available behind the restaurant (with reasonable price). It’s known for using the traditional dum pukht slow‑cooking method, which brings out deep, rich flavours in dishes like biryani and curries. The space is cozy yet refined, making it a comfortable spot for anything from a casual dinner to a special night out. The menu offers a wide range of options, including vegetarian choices and allergy‑friendly dishes, all made with fresh, high‑quality ingredients. We ordered “Broccoli Steak Mustard Glaze “ for appetizer, “Dal Panchratni” and “Chicken Tikka Masala” for main and paired our meal with “Tropical Oasis” and “Sex on the Beach”. We finished our meal with “Nest Rasmalai” for dessert. Our food was flavorful and beautifully served. The staff are friendly and attentive.

We had a really nice time at Dum Pukht. Ordered momos, chilli paneer, and hakka noodles — everything tasted good and was served hot. What stood out was the service. Our server, Diya, was very kind and attentive. It was my wife’s birthday and even though we brought a small tart from outside, Diya took the effort to decorate the plate with Happy Birthday and sparkling candles. It was a small gesture but made the evening feel special. Overall, good food and genuinely warm service. Would visit again.

Absolutely loved our experience at Dum Phukt- Yonge! Every dish we ordered was outstanding and full of flavour. The malai shrimp was incredibly tender and creamy, with a perfect balance of richness and subtle spices easily a standout. The butter chicken was everything you’d hope for: smooth, velvety sauce, well marinated chicken, and just the right level of indulgence. Pairing it with the garlic naan was perfection soft, fluffy, and fragrant with garlic, ideal for soaking up every bit of gravy. The Schezwan chicken fried rice added a great kick to the meal, flavourful and well balanced without being overly oily. A special shoutout to Diya and Gaurav, who were incredibly warm, attentive, and made the whole dining experience even better. Amazing food, great service, and a place we’ll definitely be coming back to. Highly recommend! 👌🍽️

We had such a wonderful experience at this Indian restaurant! The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, and the service was quick and attentive. The decor is stunning — making the whole place feel luxurious and inviting. The food was absolutely delicious and tasted so fresh — you can tell they use quality ingredients and cook with care. Every dish had amazing flavor and was perfectly spiced. The only small thing I’d mention is that it was a bit chilly inside (and it’s not even winter yet!), but they were thoughtful enough to bring a little heater next to our table, which really helped. Overall, highly recommend — great people, great atmosphere, and amazing food!

This was our first time with my family at this restaurant. We ordered paneer Tikka masala , khoya kaju curry , daal panchratna and dum pukht biryani. Food was delicious and the surprise was khoya kaju curry. We didn't expect it to be so good. None of us drink so we didn't order any cocktails or alcohol.Our server Ms Vishal was courteous and very attentive to our needs. The whole ambience of the restaurant was good. Music was at the correct decibels . I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area who wants a good Indian restaurant. It's bang for the buck and you won't be disappointed.

Our family had a lovely time here! Delishious paneer tikka and lamb chops to start with that were seasoned and cooked perfectly. We had to do the lamb shank and classic chicken dum biryani whclich were also great.
