Poor Service, Mediocre Food

I went to Bukhara last night since I had heard some good things about the place, but was sorely disappointed. I have never had such rude waitstaff anywhere. It took forever for the waiter to take our order,...

Solid Indian spot

I like Bukhara, but I think it's a bit overrated in reality. The food is good no doubt, but you're paying for it and the ambience, in my view, isn't all that great. It's just ok. I know everything is expensive...
