The food and service were impeccable. This place is classy. The menu is very authentic Indian and the local waiting staff are very well trained to explain the food to clients. We were very impressed with the starters - the portions are quite generous. We had lamb, fish and chicken with Rice and "roomali roti" - all were well presented and wonderfully cooked. I came here after a gap of almost 26 years and this place has only gotten better with time. Well done chef Rakesh and Arthur. read less

We were served by Brendon who was very well versed with the extensive menu. He recommended some super dishes. I have to mention his professionalism, you could tell straight away that he was going to be a super host. The food was excellent, devine,fabulous all the nicest words you can imagine. We polished off every plate. Chef Rakesh's cooking will blow you away. The lamb biriyani was probably one of the best I've had. The chicken curry had so much more depth in the sauce, it wasnt just heat and spice but a really nice warming zinging singing taste. Oops i jumped to the main before telling you about the awsome starters. Look...just go and see for yourself, you will not be disappointed. read less

Now on an unexpected return to CapeTown - one of the first things I had to do was to see if Bukara still existed. And existed they did and every inch as wonderful! We took an Uber to get there so we did not need to worry about parking. The food was to die for. We had the slow cooked lamb - Raan. My tastebuds had a feast. Tender and rich in flavour. With the Naan a winner! Then, just for old times sake, I had to reset my palate to the original best butter chicken in the world. With jeera rice. We cleaned the plates thoroughly! I am in two minds though if I prefer the Butter Chick with rice or the naan. I will have to go back and make sure!! Could not resist the Mango Lassi to round off the experience with. The mango Ice cream did not disappoint either. The service was brilliant. I recommend this restaurant without any reservations! read less

Here's a sample review ¹ ² ³: *Title:* Great 4-Night Dinner Experience at Bukhara Cape Town *Review:* CHEF RAKESH YOU ARE A ROCKSTAR .!!!!! I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bukhara Cape Town for four consecutive nights, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! The restaurant's ambiance was warm and inviting, making me feel right at home. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that I had everything I needed throughout my meals. The food was absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of dishes to choose from. I tried something new each night, and I was never disappointed. The presentation was impeccable, and the flavors were incredible. I particularly enjoyed butter chicken and dal makhani which was cooked to perfection. What impressed me most was the consistency of the food quality and service throughout my four visits. It's clear that the restaurant takes pride in its work, and it shows in every aspect of the dining experience. If you're looking for a great place to eat, I highly recommend Bukhara and meet the chef RAKESH . You won't be disappointed! *Rating:* 5/5 stars read less
