Indian Cuisine
Nestled in the heart of Cape Town and serving the finest Indian cuisine since 1995, Bukhara has become a favorite among locals and international guests alike. Bukhara offers a timeless yet modern and chic ambiance where you can get lost in conversation over signature cocktails, bathed in natural light by day and illuminated by mysterious mood lights by night. The seamless flow between interior and exterior spaces creates an open yet private feel, whether you're relaxing at the bar, dining at your table, or enjoying the high seating tables outside. We offer a variety of tapas, perfect as starters or to create a complete meal. Opt for communal dining to enjoy a little taste of everything.
