Staff & Management of Pukka Indian Cuisine

Namaste

Dear Customer, Thank you for choosing Pukka Indian Cuisine. Pukka translates to genuine, authentic, superior or first class and we hope to provide you with a Pukka experience when dining with us. A few points to note when dining with us, all dishes are freshly and individually prepared. We do not prioritise sit-down, walk-in or phone orders. All orders follow the queue in the kitchen however we do try and help where possible. So please allow for 20 – 30 minutes preparation time on normal nights, up to 1 hour on busy nights. We prefer if you would order a starter/naan bread when the kitchen is busy, while waiting for your meal to be prepared. Further some tandoori dishes/breads may not be available during busy periods. Please check with your Attendant. We pride ourselves in presenting you with a quality dish always, so if your meal is not to your satisfaction please discuss with your Attendant on how we could rectify. Enjoy your meal.

We welcome you to enjoy your favourite dish in our Pukka atmospheric environment and would like to introduce you to all that is Pukka Indian such as; Ganesha (Son of Lord Shiva), Nataraja (Dancing Form of Lord Shiva), Mahatma Gandhi, The Golden Temple, The Taj Mahal etc. We have created a Quick Reference Guide to provide you with further information about the symbols of Hinduism that adorn the decor of Pukka Indian Cuisine Vanderbijlpark. Please check with your Attendant if this Guide is available for your perusal.

In addition to our Restaurant and Take-Away Menu we also have a Platter Menu to add some flavour to your next meeting or function. We can also cater any requirement you may have, please discuss with Pukka Management. In addition deliveries of Platters or Catering can be arranged on request.

We would like to stay in contact with you and ask that you send us comments (suggestions, complaints or compliments) or send your e- mail address to [email protected] or [email protected] for addition to our customer database.
