Dum Pukht
The Specialty

South Asian dum cooking, biryanis, and slow-cooked meats

Dum Pukht

A decent Indian and Pakistani restaurant with solid food. The dum-style cooking gives the dishes good depth of flavour. The main issue is pricing — it's on the more expensive side for this type of food, and they do serve alcohol (there's a bar area), which might be relevant depending on your preference.

What to Order

The biryani and the dum-cooked meats are the reason to come — those are where the kitchen shows its strength.

Must Try

Whatever dum dish they're running — that slow-cooked approach is what this place does best.

Our take from the visit

Good food, but the value doesn't quite match the price point. It's worth trying once, especially if you appreciate proper South Asian cooking technique. Just be aware of the alcohol presence if that matters to you.
