Bukhara Indian Food

I was very excited to visit Bukara as it was one of my most favorite halal restaurants after 2 years of covid we went in ramadaan to have iftaar there with 2 close friends and my husband we ordered from the Haiku menu and Bukara menu an array of dishes. I have to admit its not the best restaurant and has downgraded alot The service was not great and thr food was also not great as it use to be now i know everyone had to cut cost due to covid but this was cut cost on another level. As i walked in no1 noticed me not the staff nor the manager no1 at the door I went to seat myself and saw the manager at the bar stuffing his face. Then our waiter had a bad odour and for a food place that is not on very u hygienic The Wooton soup must have been my favourite of all the dishes and the butter chicken which i replaced with prawn. My husband had the tandoori chops which was so tiny and dry but very soft. The tandori chicken kebabs was devine very soft and you could taste the tandoori Then we had steak dish off the bone but was terrible dry and not appetizing at all. All the dishes was really small portions so i was still hungry after that experience. We ordered many more dishes please see pics below My honest opinion its over priced and the foods not that great lost alot of respect for Bukara. Also the masala chips was precut chips and not fresh there was hardly any masala on was so bland and the restaurant was not really busy. My mango yoghurt drink came in a cheap scratchy small glass for 45rands i would i expect it to be served in something much prettier like they usually serve it in a milkshake glass. Over priced again. Not impressed

Absolutely amazing food. One of the best Indian restaurants in Cape Town for sure. They a bit pricy. But worth the money. Quality of Meat was excellent

Delicious food and fancy Indian decor. My usual starter is the really tender chicken tikka with tasty garlic naan. Followed by a lamb or prawn main course. Pleasant surprise in the bathroom see the pic

Our first night in Cape Town, the location was a bit tough to find but we got some assistance from the Cape Town Guides. The food here was delicious, Dexter truly made it an experience! Thank you to the whole team!Recommended dishesTandoori Chops

We’ve visited here many times over the years and we will come back. The food is delicious courtesy of Vickers the Chef. Lloyd who looked after us more than once is charming and friendly. If you like tandoori, you must try the Chicken Champ. And the naan is delicious.

Had an amazing experience, the staff were very welcoming and friendly. Food was better than expected. Spectacular service from dexter our waitron, well done management. Keep it upFood: 5/5

We went here for a meal during a recent holiday. Having been spoilt after eating incredible food for 2 weeks, our standards were high. But we grinned with delight at every course, great service, gorgeous cocktails and the setting was really great vibes. Big recommendation

Worst Indian restaurant in Western Cape, in fact the worst I've been to ever, in ZA and abroad. Nothing like it used to be, absolutely confused menu. No spice, no popadums and bland as can be - I absolutely do not recommend wasting time going here, very disappointing. Paneer Tikka had absolutely no taste, rest of family ordered medium and received mild was informed it's the same, even with chilli on the side, no difference. Atmosphere: Sounds like a generic wannabe confused establishment, type of music you'd expect at Clicks. Used to be great now it's mediocre at best, and even that term is an overstatement for this joke of a restaurant disgusting! Waiter was awesome Won't be back.

Amazing Indian food, especially vegetarian. Kudos to chef Rakesh. Special thanks to Lloyd for his warm hospitality. Cheers! Vegetarian options: They have good north Indian spread. They also had pani puri and dosa.

We visited the restaurant for date night. I had a lamb shank and rice. The portion was huge and I had to take half of it home. Taste wise, it didn't taste like the Bukhara I know. The spices were lacking flavour and taste. It was an okay meal but I can cook a better lamb shank. The restaurant has a cosy ambience which was lovely for a intimate dinner. The waiter was attentive but not enough to refill our glasses of wine from the bottle of merlot we ordered during the meal . Considering the restaurant was empty, there was only one other couple there, this was a disappointing. Overall, an okay experience but the food is nothing to write home about. And their prices have shot up. Won't be going back.
