Bukhara is renowned for iconic dishes like Dal Bukhara and Naan Bukhara. I had heard that the cuisine at Bukhara has a rustic charm of the North West Frontier's culinary heritage. The restaurant was established in 1978. However, the wait times are significantly high. Service is slow too
This place is worth the hype! If you're visiting Delhi or staying here, you must experience Bukhara at least once. The whole combination of dishes, service and traditions will leave you stunned. From being asked if we're comfortable eating without cutlery to follow the traditions to the attention in detail to the decor. In terms of food, we tried the paneer tikka, dal bukhara , different types of naan and all these were tasty and well cooked. Must say the prices are on the higher end, but portions were perfect. Glad I've experienced it!
We ate here once when we stayed at the hotel and could not recommend it more highly. My husband had the tandoori chicken and the waiter very helpfully advised that he could have a half portion which was a great suggestion. I had the tandoored prawns which were giant, juicy and literally melted in your mouth, the flavour from marinading for hours really was exceptional. It was washed down with some lovely Indian wine. The staff were so so friendly and helpful and we had a lovely time. Highly recommend. The aprons were a nice helpful touch too.
