Bukhara Restaurant

I absolutely love this restaurant and have visited several times over the past couple of years. I live twenty five miles away and so usually go there as a treat. It's definitely worth the fifty mile round trip. They have an exciting menu, a far cry from the somewhat tired and mediocre local menus. The chefs are mainly young and obviously innovative. I love the various Afghan dishes, all served with a contemporary twist. Who's ever eaten biriyani served in a pie dish with a golden, buttery, perfectly baked pastry case on top? Yum, delicious! Yes, it's most definitely an exciting menu. The atmosphere in the restaurant is bubbly and friendly. The waiters are competent and efficient and the service is reliable and speedy. It's a huge plus for my husband and I that no alcohol is served here. We really appreciate being able to relax in an environment that's unlikely to attract your 'lager and an Indian' type. Only wish there were more alcohol free restaurants! It's most definitely a family friendly environment. We're definitely big curry fans but for those who are used to pared down Indian food, I'd suggest ordering something a little milder than you're used to. Many of the clientele are second-third generation British Asians and the food reflects this. Once again, can't recommend this place enough.

I drove past this place and decided to go back and give it a try - glad we did - great service and authentic tasty Indian food made with fresh ingredients. Word of warning, this place is alcohol free, which was fine for us but others might not like. There is a nice bustling atmosphere, would definitely go again.
