We loved it so much. Julienne was our waiter. He was amazing. Explained everything. The food fantastic. I can recommend it to anyone. They have a lunch menu for R99. Will have to try that.
An amazing experience full of delicious food!! I truly recommend it!!
The service is good.The staff are very friendly. Management a little stiff The food was good and we had a good time but my choice would still be Town.I would say that it is a great venue but for me the experience at the Main restaurant is unique.
Very tasty, flavourful and powerful (flavour not chilli) . Our table ordered lamb madras, butter chicken, chicken korma, Rogan Josh and some butter naans the naans were very cool tasty and well done. I thoroughly enjoyed their unique take on each of the curries we ordered. Service was very good and food was very speedy. Look forward to visiting again.
My salty lassi was disgusting and the waiter was semi-confused most of the time but I was with family so did not say anything, ignoring the issues...
THE FOOD was PHENOMENAL! I was weary from the drink, but the Aloo potatoes, brown dhal, paneer an dbutter chicken was ....DELICIOUS! Ordered with garlic naan and rice.
AWESOME.... lamb chops starter and tika chicken was superb. The lamb and chicken Vindaloo was a killer but super tasty. Service was great and speed that the food came out excellent....@Dhiren&family thanks a Mill.
Bukhara has a magnificent atmosphere and even more magnificent Indian Cuisine!
The only critique I can give, is that our waitress did not explain to us that we had the option to split our meals into portions so that everyone at the table can have a variety of dishes to enjoy.
I would definately recommend Bukhara for anyone in the mood for a little spice in their life.
Two menus are available as this is two restaurants in one. There is an Asian menu which includes sushi, dumplings and Peking duck, etc., and an Indian menu offering a variety of curries and Indian dishes. I've only ever had excellent food. The curries are particularly delicious. The service can be variable but is generally good. It is quite pricey for the average person. They do have a bar and an Asian inspired cocktail menu.
Was here last week with my family and friends for dinner.
The ambiance is modern with an Indian touch. The service is quick and staff is courteous.
The food here is Indian howver slightly bland compared to authentic North Indian food. Limited options for vegetarians how'ver they did customise the Dal tadka and paneer veg with spice for us.
When you wish to have Indian in capetown you can definitely try Bhukara. Have visited their other outlet too in Capetown which had Chaat options too , near Taj hotel Cape Town.
Slightly heavy on the pocket for the portion size they serve.
But overall not bad !
To start off on a good note, I loved the colour scheme, the deep green marble worked well with the dark woods. Feels really warm and relaxing. What I did not like at all was the pendant lightning over each table, very annoying when you are trying to have a conversation and the light blinds you.
The quality of the Lamb was very good and very tender in each of the dishes we ordered. The Vindaloo was crazy hot but still had a good depth of flavour. The Fish Curry had great flavour but tasted a bit more like a Pickled Fish then a curry. The naan bread was excellent! Loved every bit.
The food got to the table way faster then expected so that was great but the service from our waiter was neither here nor there.
Great for cold weather!
Outstanding! We were a party of 20 and ordered several lamb and chicken dishes. I particularly enjoyed the chicken korma and butter chicken. Naan breads were enormous and absolutely delicious.
Went here for a friend's birthday after it being highly recommended. We were disappointed when we asked for a jug of water and the waiter brought bottled of water (R40+ each). After telling him that we implied we wanted tap water, he then followed to say that we had to buy the bottled water (even though we didn't want it) despite him not opening it yet. We had the butter chicken curry, dhal and naan bread. The food portion was good (2 people could share one curry), and I really enjoyed the butter chicken, it tasted very homely. I would've preferred it more spicy but it was still tasty anyway. The naan bread really good, soft and quite big.
Had a wonder dinner at Bukhara V&A Waterfront in Cape Town. The service was great, the food was delicious, great food presentation and good quantity. We ordered Chicken Tikka boti, chicken and cheese kebab, butter chicken, daal makhani, garlic naan, rice and chicken biryani. Everything was great. Loved it.
Really great service from Brendon the waitor. The curry was absolutely devine; which is charged separately from the expected basmati rice or naan bread. However, once considering the portions of the naan bread and or rice (at additional charge) and considering the area as well as quality of food, it's definitely worth it. The restaurant is also in the corner, great views if you opt for outdoor seating, but if you choose indoor seating, your bound to miss out on the V&A views. The restaurant also makes use of the malls toilets. All COVID-19 compliant. During the autumn and winter seasons, the contracting doors are closed towards the evening, which can make the restaurant feel slightly clostrophic unless sitting in the outside area.
Best Indian restaurant I've been to for a long time. The food was as tasty as in India (and as spicy as you wish). The chicken tikka would almost melt in your mouth. Great service too ! The waiter, Curtis, was both kind and helpful.
The Covid menu was restricted but every single dish was a hit ! And as we ordered too much, there was the option to take home. Great culinary experience. To be repeated !
Lovely venue, Asian and Indian menu. Friendly staff ! Softest chops I’ve ever had. Would highly recommend Bukhara 👌🏽
Worth a revisit. There is so much to explore with the food. Excellent service from staff
Best curry ever, food was so tasty and the balance of everything 👌staff amazing and attentive. Ambience toned to perfection
Friendly staff and delicious food at Bukhara. It offers a wonderful feeling by the harbor. The cuisine is mouth watering too. I can recommend it to anyone who wants to relax and have a delicious meal.
CT's premier restaurant for simple and delicious Indian and Asian cuisine. Steep prices but worth every bite 😪
The food was amazing! I cannot understand why the reviews are not that good. We had two veggie Curry’s and two chicken dishes and they were all great! The atmosphere was very nice and the service was good. There were a lot of people inside so I assume it is quite popular although reviews are not 5 stars on google. Would totally recommend!
I never write reviews for restaurants, but I feel like this place deserves it. We booked a place here for New Year’s Eve primarily because the view was great. But I’m not going to lie, the reviews I saw on google for this restaurant had me a little nervous. But I think it’s an understatement to say this restaurant exceeded every expectation I had. They had a special menu for New Year’s, and everything I ate was at worst really good, and at best fantastic. Not only that, the service was top notch. I sadly don’t remember the name of our waiter, but he was incredibly hospitable the entire night. Not a single thing went wrong. I definitely recommend this place for festive occasions. 10/10
