Service was friendly and prompt but prices are rather on the expensive side. We went for dinner with 2 (starter and main course) and more or less paid 1,500 ZAR. It was a good restaurant but due to the excessive prices, they are not going to see me back there. read less

I had told them how good the food and service was and we were not disappointed. The food served was superb and service was great from our friendly waiter who explained the many dishes ordered and what to expect. Each of my friends stated it was the best Indian food they had ever had, and we all eat in Indian / Bangladeshi / Pakistani restaurants throughout the U.K. I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant for anyone and would go again in a heartbeat next time on holiday in Cape Town. Thanks everyone at Bukhara for a great evening ! read less

My parents and I visited this restaurant about 12 years ago, and returned this January as we are always wanting to come but never had a chance to! Since the first visit, my parents have nothing but good things to say about Bukhara and our second visit, 12 years later, was nothing short of absolutely mouth-watering food and spectacular service. Our waiter, Simbarashe was such a delight and took such great care of us! The lamb dishes are to DIE for, as is the naan and the Love in Goa cocktail (tastes just like mango lassi - divine!). This restaurant is tucked away on an upstairs floor in CBD and it truly is a hidden gem. The location isn't boastful but the food and the huge crowd that flock here just show that this restaurant's service speaks for itself. Be sure to ask the car guards for help if you are struggling to find it - it is there!! (we almost thought they had closed down) If you are looking for an authentic indian experience, you have to try Bukhara, you can even watch the chefs prepare your meal! Great atmosphere and awesome experience overall! Pricey but worth every penny spent! Vegetarian options: There are delicious vegetarian options like Dal Makhani. Parking: A bit of a struggle to find parking as street parking can be limited especially during busy times Kid-friendliness: Awesome experience for kids as they can watch the chefs prepare the food, which is very interesting read less
