This review is taken from the current (2011) edition.
The award-winning Bukharah continues to uphold its ethos for delivering healthy home-style Indian cuisine with flair. Charcoal walls, exposed blackened ventilation pipes and brickwork give this large restaurant a somewhat industrial feel, yet the designer lighting and chilled-out vibe create a pleasing contemporary space. Dark wooden screens and curtains offer privacy for either large parties or those wanting a more intimate experience. Familiar favourites such as samosas, dosas, puris and pakoras come with chicken, lamb, prawn or vegetarian options, but more creative starters straight from the tandoor, such as the spiced haddock, murgh tikka (buttered) chicken or achari mushrooms are enticingly beyond the ordinary. For mains, the chef’s speciality king prawn skewers marinated with a blend of subtle spices deliver a unique and seductive char-grill flavour, while the home-style lamb on the bone is tender and nicely spiced. Home-made desserts are often absent on Indian menus, but here lies a gem in the kulfi, India’s version of ice-cream, which is expertly crafted with delicately balanced flavours, accompanied by a refreshing mango purée.
- High point: Professional service without being too formal
- Low point: Noisy acoustics due to high ceiling
