A clean upscale desi restroom serving halal food. The owner greeted us when we entered for dinner. The menu is vast with many options to choose from. We tried different items from the menu and everything was cooked well and delicious. The naan and other breads were baked fresh and so soft. The restaurant is clean and service is good. The only reason for not 5 stars for service was the waitress spilled mango lassi all over my daughter, jacket and clothes. We would definitely recommend this restaurant and are planning on coming again as didn’t try dessert this time.

Had been here for the first time. We got mixed kebab platter-delicious and succulent kebabs like malai, hariyali, seekh, goat. Only the goat one was tough and undercooked. For mains we got pandara road butter chicken, chicken biryani, goat rara with jalebi paratha. Food was good with ample quantities. Butter chicken was terribly sweet goat rara was flavorful but had too much onion. Biryani was flavorful, came with a side of raita. Decor was good, staff were friendly but the place was too noisy with loud music making it hard to talk.

We found Bukhara Grill in NYC completely by accident after getting off at Grand Central Station while looking for something to eat. It was later in the afternoon, and most restaurants in the area were fully booked — we assume many companies were having their Christmas parties at that time.
Bukhara Grill was also almost full when we walked in without a reservation, but the staff took great care of 4 of us and quickly prepared a table. From the very beginning, we felt welcomed and very comfortable.
We are big fans of Indian cuisine, and honestly, the food exceeded our wildest expectations. Everything was perfectly seasoned — with every bite we kept saying how delicious it was. The flavors were rich, well-balanced, and absolutely outstanding.
We truly recommend this place to every Indian food lover — you will leave neither hungry nor disappointed. On top of that, the service was top-notch.

A well-deserved 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!

Happily, one of the best Indian spots in town was directly down the street from my hotel. The lovely atmosphere hints at the even lovelier meal. The korma was among the best I’ve had and the naan was second to none. The staff was also quite attentive, professional, and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

Went here with my husband for New Year’s Eve dinner. The vibe was festive and it was a nice setting for the occasion. The food was enjoyable and comforting, with good flavours, though a few dishes felt a little lacking on the flavour and texture. Service was okay, it felt pestering and confusing at times, definitely not as smooth as it could be. Overall it was a decent experience and a nice place for a holiday dinner, but not the most memorable meal.

This is my first time trying this place and I’m very impressed. The food is amazing and I was surprised at how big the naan is. The staff is super friendly and they make you feel welcomed. The rasmali is a must to try. It’s melts in your mouth

Had forgotten about this place. But rediscovered it on a recent trip. There are so many new Indian places in NY with a buzz and 2 week windows to make reservations, etc.

Whatever. Skip them, and go here. The food is great, the service tops. The tandoori good is really awesome.

Food is good. Service is terrible. The staff constantly hovered and didn’t give us enough time to decide what to order even though we asked before entering if we can still eat as it was 40 mins before the restaurant closed. Also, while we were still eating, they brought the check out even though there was still 10 mins remaining in closing time. Despite making the payment, the staff hovered around to see if we had signed the tip. We didn’t feel like we were given the service that a fine dining Indian restaurant promises. Go for the food, but keep your expectations super low as far as staff is concerned.

If you’re searching for an authentic North Indian dining experience that goes beyond just great food, Bukhara Grill delivers in every way — and our recent visit was elevated to something truly special thanks to the incredible Vijay Verma!
From the moment we walked in, the rustic yet sophisticated ambiance hit all the right notes: exposed stone walls, warm lighting, and that signature open tandoor kitchen where you can watch the magic happen. It’s the perfect blend of tradition and comfort, instantly transporting you to the Northwest Frontier.
But what truly made the night unforgettable was Vijay Verma. His energy is infectious — fantastic service paired with an amazing personality that turns a meal into a memorable story session. Vijay shared delightful anecdotes about the dishes, the history behind the recipes (including how the iconic Dal Bukhara is slow-cooked for hours), and even some fun insider tips on pairing the perfect naan. He was attentive without being overbearing, humorous, and genuinely passionate about the food. You can tell he loves what he does, and it shows in every interaction. He made us feel like valued guests rather than just customers — a rare gem in any restaurant!
The food? Absolute perfection. We started with an assortment of tandoori kebabs — smoky, tender, and bursting with flavor — followed by the legendary Dal Bukhara, creamy beyond words and finished with a swirl of butter. And don’t even get me started on the giant, table-sized naan — fresh from the tandoor, fluffy, and impossible to resist tearing into with your hands!

Will definitely be back soon. Thank you, Vijay, for the stories, the laughs, and the impeccable hospitality!

This place is an experience in true hospitality! Beautiful restaurant, with comfortable seats.

I ordered the chicken tikka masala and garlic naan with a Coca Cola to drink. The naan is huge! My boyfriend and I shared 1 and had some leftover.

The staff is very helpful and attentive, consistently checking on you during the meal. We felt welcomed in even without a reservation.
