My parents and I visited this restaurant about 12 years ago, and returned this January as we are always wanting to come but never had a chance to! Since the first visit, my parents have nothing but good things to say about Bukhara and our second visit, 12 years later, was nothing short of absolutely mouth-watering food and spectacular service. Our waiter, Simbarashe was such a delight and took such great care of us! The lamb dishes are to DIE for, as is the naan and the Love in Goa cocktail (tastes just like mango lassi - divine!). This restaurant is tucked away on an upstairs floor in CBD and it truly is a hidden gem. The location isn't boastful but the food and the huge crowd that flock here just show that this restaurant's service speaks for itself. Be sure to ask the car guards for help if you are struggling to find it - it is there!! (we almost thought they had closed down) If you are looking for an authentic indian experience, you have to try Bukhara, you can even watch the chefs prepare your meal! Great atmosphere and awesome experience overall! Pricey but worth every penny spent! read less

The biryanis were quite tasty and i would say tasted as good as the Mauritian biryani (we are from Mauritius). The drinks were excellent and the kulfi was okay.

I saw this beautiful restaurant on TikTok & since I’ve been craving real Indian food , I’ve found one. Bukhara is top notch with a 10/10 service & food. I haven’t had real indian food ever since I left home. Thank you to our waiter Lloyd who gave up a 10/10 service. Very respectful very fast & consistent. He gave us good vibes from the minute we walked in those doors. Thank you so much Llyod. I also want to thank our chef Rakesh who made our food with love & some real flavours. We enjoyed our food and our time there was amazing!! read less

Super leuk dat je mee kan kijken in de keuken. Doordat er glazen wanden waarmee de keuken is afgeschermd ruikt het in het restaurant niet naar kruiden. Dat is een pluspunt. Vriendelijke bediening en we werden snel geholpen. Hele goede plek en zeker een aanrader. Krijgt 4 sterren i.p.v. 5, omdat ik toch wel het indiaase sfeertje mis en de typische gerechten uit india niet makkelijk kon terug vinden op de menukaart. read less

Being vegetarians, we initially found the menu to have limited options that suited our preferences. However, this is where the star of the evening, Chef Rakesh, truly shined. Chef Rakesh personally came to our table, took the time to understand our taste preferences and dietary needs, and worked his culinary magic. What followed was a specially crafted dish that wasn’t on the menu but was absolutely delightful! It was clear that Chef Rakesh’s passion for food and attention to detail set this restaurant apart. The flavors were perfectly balanced, the presentation was stunning, and the effort he put into ensuring our satisfaction was commendable. Such personalized attention and creativity are rare to find these days. For anyone looking for a memorable dining experience, especially vegetarians who sometimes struggle with limited options, this restaurant (and Chef Rakesh!) will not disappoint. Highly recommended!
