Awara - Bukhara

Asian Grills & Modern Indian

Nestled in the heart of Cape Town, the former 25 year home of Bukhara Cape Town, Awara is chic and modern, yet still a timeless space where you could get lost in conversation over signature cocktails in our relaxing lounge – softly brightened by natural light by day and mysterious mood lights by night. The fusion flow of interior and exterior create the feel of openness whilst yet being completely private, whether you chilling in the lounge, dining at your table or enjoying the high seating tables outside . We serve a variety of Tapas to have as a starter, or make a complete meal. Order communal dining style – hence getting a little taste of everything.

Had the option to order off Indian or Thai menu (Bukhara or Haiku) and opted for Indian- from Palak Paneer curry, Mushroom Biryhani, Dal, Eggplant, Naan - everything was delicous, hot (Temp) and diverse in flavour! Service was top notch- our waiter Chris was attentive but not intrusive. Will definitely be back soon! read less
