Best

I first read about Bukhara on ""Behind the Burner"" and watched a video with Divya - great stuff! Love the food.

Worst

Expected terrible service and high prices - that was confirmed quckly as waiter cared less about us. Food was a mixed bag. Naan tasted like it had been made hours before, ric...

not the same 11/14/2006

This place is nothing like the original in India. The kebabs were so bland and were served at room temperature (very dry), in addition the Bukhara Daal was nothing like the one India. The decor was the same and the service was good. But the food was nothing like the original??.I wonder who?s running this place. Many better options in the neighborhood. Pros: decor Cons: food more

You call this food? 10/11/2006

Ok with so many good reviews here i decided to dine at ukhara grill. These reviews however were not of any help. The food is rediculous, the service (even though the place was empty on a friday evening) was slow as hell. I wonder if bukhara grill is paying people to leave them theses reviews. Pros: Are there any? Cons: Food, Service, Daal Bukhara more

Nice upscale Indian food 10/9/2006

This restaurant is quite expensive for Indian food, but not too expensive for a nice restaurant in midtown, and a nice restaurant it is. The decor is wonderful. The service is generally attentive though at times a little intrusive. The food (lamb) is quite good, though it did not present the mind-blowing experience that I expected after reading some reviews. Overall, I would go back, but not at the expense of passing up another nice Indian restaurant, which I haven't tried yet. Pros: Beautiful place more

The Best Fine Dining 9/22/2006

Bukhara Grill this is my favorite place to dine in all of N.Y.C. The place is just so beautiful with the wooden look. The quote said by -Bob Lape, WCBS News Radio 88 ""Bukhara Grill and its staff cry out to be loved. There is much to like."" The quote is 100% true, The Staff is vey very nice and are always doing the best job. The food is simply mouthwatering Dal Bukhara, Chicken Makhani, Fish tikka, Lambchops and everything else. The Owners were very nice as they both personally came at different times to greet us and take care of any needs. They also told me about their other places in Parsippany New Jersy and Yonkers.(gotta check them out sometime maybe soon) I have been going to Bukhara grill in the city for many many years and never had a problem. The food, Service, and entire Atmosphere is just Awsome Pros: DAL BUKHARA, Service Cons: Long waiting so make reservations more

BEST INDIAN RESTAURANT IN USA! 8/30/2006

bukhara grill is an awesome restaurant. it is my favorite and truely the best restaurant in New York. from the moment you enter till the moment you leave you are treated with luxury. The food is excellent. My entire family loves it. We have used BUkhara Grill for many caterings now and never have we seen such better service. The food is delicious. Taste just like a famous cuisine in India. The staff is very nice. They treat you like royalties. BUkhara is known for their DAL BUKHARA. There is no place where you will ever get better dal. Pros: Great Food! Great Service! Great Employees! LARGE Dining room for big parties. Cons: its in the city.. parking is difficult. more

Outrageous prices for average quality!! 8/15/2006

I truely think its extremely overrated. The service is really sad, ambiance outdated, food that we ordered was very oily & ordinary & the pirces were OUTRAGEOUS! They are resting on the laurels of Original Bukhara's, which is in delhi, from where they have copied each & every thing, when actually they have no connection with the original one. Pros: Thumbs down Cons: stuffy & cramped more

Best Indian food in New York 7/22/2006

Fantastic food and I grew up with this stuff. The restaurant is nice, good decor, and good service. While you can get a decent meal in the Lex area too, this is a restaurant you can take family, friends, boss, and clients too. Pros: Great, authentic food Cons: Could upgrade the restaurant a bit more

does not live up to its name 7/12/2006

For being number 1, this place has alot of work to do in order to truly earn its ""so called"" reputation. Waiters tend to forget drinks completely, food portions are so tiny, two people have trouble sharing one entree. That is a problem since we paid about 20 bucks a dish, and had to order 5 dishes to get a decent taste. This place has good potential, but needs a significant amount of work before we can justify spending that much money on indian food you can get everywhere else. Pros: nice decor Cons: ridiculous prices for poor quality more

Steam is there but seems to be losing some focus 6/29/2006

Steam engine is still chugging but service seems to be coming down. Tandoori is always excellent. Maybe showing strains of getting stretched a little thin with the increased destinations, et all... Pros: Tandoori Cons: Service more

Overrated 6/26/2006

The food was boring and expensive. They charge $6.00 for rice. The makhani was OK --the korma was bland. The best thing I tasted were the lambchops. Not worth the prices. more

Among the best Indian restaurants in the city 3/28/2006

It's not the cheapest of places, but the food is fantastic. The food bursts with flavor and the spicy dishes are really hot the way they are supposed to be. They also get points for excelling at the small things, like the breads, the rice and samosas: these are among the best samosas I've ever head. more
