Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 5

Request Mild. Ask for non-spicy preparation if needed; a review confirms the kitchen can accommodate that request.

Check Lamb. If you want lamb, ask about availability when ordering rather than leaving it until later in the meal.

The Bottom Line

Bukhara is a North Indian restaurant on the first level of a hotel in Al Mankhool, with a warm, rustic dining room and an open kitchen showing the tandoor work. The menu is especially associated with Dal Bukhara, chicken biryani, Raan-e-Bukhara and tandoori breads, so there is plenty to explore beyond standard curry-and-naan ordering. The strongest pattern in the reviews is careful cooking and hospitality.

Diners describe the Dal Bukhara as rich, creamy and full of flavour, while the Raan has been praised for unusually tender mutton. The chef is also often mentioned for visiting tables, explaining dishes and asking for feedback. Non-spicy dishes can be requested, which helps when a group has mixed preferences, and one party was seated at a large table for 15.

There are a few practical cautions. Prices have been described as high, and one diner did not receive a discount shown through EazyDiner. More seriously, separate reviews reported undercooked chicken in a biryani and undercooked mutton, so check dishes as they arrive.

If lamb is your priority, ask about availability early. The restaurant can also be tricky to locate inside the hotel, although reviews mention convenient parking.
