Dum Pukht restaurant is not only a culinary gem but also a haven for night owls, as it stays open till 6 am.

Dum Pukht offers a delightful culinary experience with its flavorful dishes like the chicken fried Schezwan and chicken Manchurian gravy, hakka style. The burst of flavors in every bite is truly satisfying. The staff's friendly demeanor adds to the welcoming atmosphere, making dining here a pleasure. Coupled with a nice ambiance, it's a must-visit for those craving delicious Chinese and Indian cuisine.

If you’re looking to wow your friends and family with phenomenal presentation, check out Dum Pukht.

I visited this location as part of an IG collaboration and tried their:
- Chicken Biryani
- Live Chaat Experience
- Butter Chicken
- Chocolate Mousse Cake
- Mojito

All of their drinks are served in a basket of flowers with sparklers.

Another notable experience is the live chaat, where the chaat is made before your eyes using liquid nitrogen.

I liked that the flame beneath the biryani kept it nice and warm throughout our meal.

The dessert was my absolute favourite and I highlighted recommend trying jt. The texture is so light with a crispy caramelized layer on top.

Overall, this is a great spot to impress your friends and family and will be a memorable experience.

Check out my IG page @aikn.vlogs to see a reel filmed at this location.

Delicious menu items - especially the ones cooked in the tandoor. The owners are genuine and sweet people. Always going over the top to make sure you are taken care of.

This place is simply delicious!

Ther staff and service is amazing. Food presentation is also very attractive. Food itself is kinda ok, like some items are good and some are just below average. Dum pukht biryani and mutton were really really good, butter chicken on the other hand was just too sweet and green tikka had only green color to make it green and no taste of mint etc. overall experience was really good as the really nice and happy staff made up for everything.

The Food was nice. The service was ok. Also, it's open late nights.
Pro tip- while paying please take a check of the bill, as they provide the bill with added gratuity. So if u are tipping that would be an additional tip we ended up giving a $cad 35 in a tip. And realized it after the payment.

The workers were busy cleaning the place than to realize I was waiting to order. This place was well coordinated like two years ago. I feel the negative vibe from the workers who hates working here. If you don't like customers coming in the last 30 minutes before closing you should not be open. I left without ordering after feeling they didn't want my business. I won't come back either.
No sald in dal and rice no flour no taste in chicken curry March 30th 2024 lunch meal

very delicious food and very calm place to enjoy the buffet with family. I felt like eating in a Pakistani friends house. my wife also loved the delicious food. Thanks a lot and will definitely come back.
Glad my husband and I hosted our baby shower at Simply Delicious. We had a good selection of dishes to pick from and were given sufficient time to set up for the event. Staff was friendly and responsive. Best of all, food did not disappoint!
Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a venue for their event.

Came here 6:30pm on a Friday, we did make reservations but they are not busy when we arrive. Restaurant is 80% full at some point during our dinner.
We used to order butter chicken everytime we go to Indian restaurant so we ask our server to recommend something for us.
Our server recommended some dishes we never try before so we ordered all of them.
It turns out everything tasted great and nothing is too spicy for everyone in our group.
Service is excellent, everyone at the restaurant dress well and very professional.
Prices is a bit above average but I think is fair for the high quality service and great food.
The only thing I would suggest to the owner is that their table and chairs looks a bit outdated.
Lots of parking here so no problem at all.

First time there and the uncle was so kind and generous, the quality of the food was excellent! The quantity, the cleanliness and price makes this place my new lunch spot!

First off, the approach to the restaurant is not impressive. The style is dated and it is unusually cold and dark inside. It’s heavy on the wallet given the quality and portion sizes. There are many other Indian restaurants which have the same menu and give value for your buck. Don’t get me wrong, the food is not bad at all. The channa masala was excellent. The service is ok.

This place doesn't even deserve a 1 star. I will be reporting this to health Canada. There was a eyelash in my roti. If I didn't look carefully I would have ate it. Its disappointing that people don't care enough to make quality food and pay attention to what falls into the food. Extremely disappointing.

Family owners but very unorganized place. Some items in the buffet were very dry and old. The butter chicken wasn’t too bad. Naans were good. The biryani was old and not flavorful. Like always try it for yourself.
We tried weekend buffet at this restaurant. Talking about the taste and quality of food, it was like soo soo. Appetizers were not that good and fresh. Naan bread was very soft and veg curry items were good but chicken curry was not upto the mark. Rasmalai and gulab jamun is delicious. Restaurant ambience is good. They should charge you accordingly for the quality they serve in buffet. #overpriced buffet.

We had the pleasure of eating at Dum Pukht last night. I have to say the food was amazing. We tried the dumb mutton, non and some tandoor. It was very authentically prepared and very nicely presented. The services was fantastic as well. The waiter really knew his menu, really recommended the right combination of dishes. However the overall cleanliness was not up to par. The chairs were very dirty; we have to move few times to find the table with relatively dirt free chairs. The bathroom was so so as well. I hope the management will pay attention to this & have it steam cleaned or something. But for me I will definitely eat there again regardless of the dirty chairs since the food is spectacular 🤣

Its been a long time (years) since i last visited India's Taste.

I was happy to see this gem of an Indian buffet, nestled hidden in an industrial area is still around and business is booming

They had a full renovation and very good and attentive staff.

Be aware that most of the food has varying degrees of spicy, so make sure everyone in your party can handle it, or else they'll be only eating salad, fries/onion rings, nann and fruits

Personally i absolutely loved the garlic nann they make in house, which paired very nicely with the mutton curry. The selection is good and everything is fresh and hot!

Definitely worth the reasonable price of $27.99 for dinner menu! I personally haven't tried their lunch buffet but hope to do so in the near future!

Food taste is good but all food items are not available all the time. We stayed there for one hour but when we were leaving they brought one more item.
Small place but neat and clean
I ordered naan for takeout and most of them were still raw. And the size of it was too small for it to be called a garlic naan it was more or garlic (raw tandoori roti) and they are charging 4$ for a naan is a sham. I wish I could give minus 5 stars

It’s my go to place for a South Indian take out. Very affordable and authentic meals. Have good variety for both vegetarian as well as non veg options. Their Dosas are good.
I visited Maharaja at dinner time, and they truly lived up to their name. I tried their chole-Bhatura, Maharaja burger and Chilli Paneer and my personal favorites were chole-bhatura and burger, very delicious and you can smell freshness from afar. I would definitely visit again.

Just FYI, they are very busy with skip/Uber orders so you might have to wait 20-30 mins but the wait is definitely worth it.
The food and service was good . The Kothu Roti was very good . The portions and chicken was very well done . Just order in advance for the Kothu roti .
Great food and good service. Food takes some time to come but you can tell it is freshly made so it’s worth the wait. Awesome place for all vegetarians. The Manchurian balls and pani puri are my favourite dishes here.

Went for buffet at lunch, good variety and overall food tastes good. Some chickens I had were over cooked.
Clean environment & friendly staff.
Parking available.
$23+ tax for lunch buffet
I’ve ordered take out food from this restaurant several times. It’s a consistently good restaurant. I’ve tried many of the appetizers including chaats and they are all good. The curries also taste good. -1 star because they don’t always follow instructions provided on Uber eats or door dash (for example don’t add butter to roti or don’t pre mix chaats for takeout orders etc).

But overall I’m a repeat customer.
I don’t know about their in person service but they deliver the left over food to customers. Chicken curry in my thali was all watery and tasteless. Dal makhni was literally smelling a lot. I can gurantee that it was 2-3 days old. Other things were good, naan and salad. And this is my second time ordering food from this restaurant. I don’t know what came into my mind because last time also situation was same, I didn’t have pics from my last order. But i did clicked this time. Last time I thought they might have done it by mistake but nooooo, its same all the time. They are literally compromising with taste and people’s health by providing this kind of delivery and mind you there are cheaper Indian restaurants that are much better than this one. I usually don’t write this much but I can’t tell how much they have disappointed me again. Such a waste of money. 🥲
Very bad service by them. We called them for takeout and it them more than 1 hour to prepare that order. The taste of food is good but their service destroys the mood. I will recommend if you want eat from then you should be totally free and be prepared to spend more than an hour. The staff is very rude. And indian girl with specs is totally rude and doesn’t care about customer
Masala chai was really awesome . Price is bit higher than usual masala chai. But taste is really great 👍 worth for the price 👏,

Veg Spring Roll 5 for $2 and Samosa 3 for $2.
Personally I don’t like the Samosa taste here.

I visited to Natha Express few times, last time I ordered the the food, they asked to pay the money first, but don't issue the receipt, waited for more than 30 minutes, and asking to pay again to give the food i ordered. very poor customer service, not clean area where they cook food, food are taste and good.

Food was great and very tasty! On par with ayce places in Brampton. The best item was actually the garlic naan! It was so crispy and best naan I’ve ever tasted. One thing I will recommend to change is the signs for each item. It is hard to tell which one is vegetarian and what it what.

The service was okay. I can tell the servers were young teens and new to the job. A few instances, they asked us to pass over the empty plates over another person. This is just simple waiter training where a waiter should pickup the plates on the right side of the guest and not reach over. Another thing was we needed to ask a few times to refill the water. But hey, I understand this is a buffet and I can’t ask for too much. But the thing that bugs me is that they included a 18% tip that we had to pay.

Overall, I will be back or even try getting takeout next time.

Great Desserts: Rasmalai & Gulab
Masala Tea/Chai - excellent
Some days they serve: Samosas & other Pakoras- call ahead & go on a “samosa” day.
Food tasty (you can add additional pepper) but not kept at a hot temperature- disappointing
Nice & probably only Indian Cuisine Buffet in the Markham area/ Scarborough area.

My ratings are as follows:

Food: 9/10
Ambience: ok
Service: 9/10
Convenience: 6/10 (Car rides only i think)
Value for Money: 8/10

Options feel a bit less for the price & need more drinks options.
All burgers are almost same type. Veg burger and veg noodles burger use the samw patty. Papdi chat was good. Aloo tikki burger ij kinda ok. The noodles or patty had some oil smell. Pani puri was decent. Falooda is also kinda ok, kulfi is nice.
It's no frills sort of place. Chat quality was just okay.

What's disappointing is the attitude of the kid in the front desk. She makes you feel like homeless asking for a free meal.

I used to love going to this place for lunch buffet because their price used to be very reasonable and tons of delicious dishes to choose from. Now that the place has renovated and the chef has changed, I feel that there are a lot less variety to choose from and the food was not as good as it used to. Weekend buffet price is $28 per person and this is too expensive for Indian cuisine. I still like this place but I won't be returning for a while...
We were in the neighborhood. Craving North Indian street side food and decided to check this place out. It's a small eatery in a big plaza located alongside a couple of other eateries including bamiyan kebab.

Its a tiny location crammed with 8-10 tables and a lot of chairs. So not much room between the tables but thankfully it wasn't crowded. Where it lacks in ambience it made up in the taste department.

You get excellent Delhi style Chole bhature here. The samosa chat was good too but the Chole bhature stole the show. It took 15-20 mins for the order to arrive despite not being busy. I would assume they prepare a lot of the items fresh. The chaat mint chutney in the chaat clearly had a lot of artificial color, something I am not very fond of, so please be aware.

Service was fine, similar to a lot of other Desi places - no smiles or greetings - but just about enough to get the transaction done. You order at the counter and pick up your order when it's ready. You take back the food to your table and dig in. They don't accept credit cards. Just cash and debit cards. Reasonable pricing for the taste.

Food was good, service was friendly and prices were reasonable. Would recommend this restaurant for Indian food if you're in the area.

Our favourite was the Khatti Meethi Gobi which tastes best as soon as it is served, piping hot and crispy.
The rara Mutton was also delicious and had a good balance of minced meat and mutton pieces.
The dum pukht chicken Biryani was good.
The chicken Tikka was okay, was lacking in flavour and could have been better.

Servers were courteous and friendly.
