Bukhara Bistro is GREAT

by abbeytown at Citysearch

Recent transplant to Jamaica Plain and I just found the most darling indian bistro. Went with a few new friends on Wednesday evening and liked it so much I went back with my boyfriend last night. This food is soooooo good. I had curry on Wednesday and Tandorri chicken last night and OMG it was just the best!! It is such a lovely restaurant - so much better than most of the place I have been in this city and so reasonably priced. It was fun and lively. There was about a 15-20 minute wait Saturday evening but my bad I didn't make a reservation, got seated right away on Wednesday. Oh and free parking - can't beat that. Safe to say I will be eating often at Bukhara. If you haven't been there already do try it. The food was yummy. I am going to try everything on the menu - will take many many trips as the menu is quite extensive. I asked for spicy and I got spicy, my boyfriend asked for mild and he got mild. We were very happy and he was very happy with the bill. Good food to keep you warm in this cold weather. Try it. I loved it and I hope you will too.

• Pros: Charming, delicious food, friendly people, free parking, very reasonable price
• Cons: Can't think of any cons - really loved this restaurant

Bukhara is the jewel of Jamaica Plain!

I highly recommend Bukhara. The food here is great, always fresh, always perfectly prepared, the portions are so big that there is always enough left for lunch and/or dinner the next day - and the price is great. Where can you get three meals for under $20. Indian food was new to me in 1999 when Bukhara opened and the wait staff has always been very helpful in explaining the dishes. I love this place. It is worth making a special trip to JP. The restaurant decor is very charming. The free parking in the back is a plus. But the best thing about Bukhara is the food. I have never had a bad experience here. And I have never been told they were out of an item I wanted to order. I encourage everyone to try this restaurant. The food is so delicious! My personal favorite is the chicken tikka masala - this tomatoe sauce is the best I have ever had - my compliments to the Chef! Bukhara is the jewel of Jamaica Plain. Keep up the good work!

• Pros: Food, food, food! Portions, free parking
• Cons: None

PATHETIC!!

The worst restraunt I have ever been to in US, Utterly disappointed with the service and the food. We went around 2 hours before closing time of restraunt. They didnt have anything we wanted and all we got from the menu was just 2-4 items. We ordered (considering the LONG DRIVE) .. SAVE YOURSELF A EVENING AND WHO WANTS TO WASTE A EVENING WITH THIS CRAPPY PLACE... I AM SURE ALL THE GOOD REVIEWS ARE DONE BY THOSE LOOSERS!!!
