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. The waiter who took care of us was very friendly and nice. read less

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!

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
