    Chicken pakora and aloo tikki
    Phalgun K.

    We were in the area and this place had been on our list for a while so we thought of giving it a try, and ended up having a good meal at Bukhara grill on a summer Sunday afternoon. The place was not busy, so we got a nice table with white tablecloths and good cutlery. The restaurant was well air-conditioned and had light instrumental music playing in the background. I recognized some of KK's songs and felt nostalgic. The service was excellent, even though there was only one server. He was friendly and quick, and gave us good recommendations. We ordered the summerlicious menus, which had a lot of variety and value. The food was delicious and satisfying. We started with aloo tikki and chicken pakora, which were simple and crunchy respectively. The main courses were madras lamb and paneer makhani, both of which had great gravy and flavor. The lamb was well cooked and tender, and the paneer was slightly sweet but very palatable. The naan was soft and nice to eat with the curries. For dessert, we had rasamalai and mango ice cream. The rasamalai was yum, and the mango ice cream was more like kulfi and worth trying. It was a perfect way to end our meal. We loved the experience and will definitely come again. The only minor drawback was that the place is in a basement, so the entry seemed slightly confusing and there was no natural lighting. But once we got inside, it was relaxing and cozy. The walls had pretty photos and a nice decor that added to the ambiance. Bukhara grill is a good place in Bloor West that serves authentic and tasty Indian food. I recommend for a pleasant dining experience.

    Chicken pakora
    Cher A.

    We visited this restaurant and I was blown away with the ambiance and quality of the food. All of the dishes we ordered were made both gluten and dairy free and the prices were amazing. For under $40 pre-tax and tip, we got an appetizer, two entrées and a side of rice. THE FOOD: Chicken Pakara Appetizer: - We ordered the chicken pakara appetizer, which are chicken fritters battered with Indian herbs, spices and chickpea flour. This dish was fantastic and it allowed me to enjoy a fried chicken style of dish that was gluten free (something I usually cannot enjoy at restaurants). I like how they used chickpea flower, which adds protein, makes the dish gf and a healthier version of battered chicken. The chicken was juicy and tender. It also came with two sauces, which were delightful. One was similar to a chimichurri sauce and the other was sweet and savoury. Together the sauces blended to create an amazing tasting experience. Navratan Korma: This dish was fantastic. The dish was made with coconut milk to be dairy free and it was fantastic. The flavours were exquisite and it was a combination of mixed vegetables with a mild cashew sauce. I would also definitely consider getting the cashew chicken dish next time because the flavours were so good. Saag Chicken: This dish was really good. It was saucy and a great addition to our meal. The chicken was cooked with garlic, onion, green chillies and spinach. It was a little bit spicy but it wasn't too hot where we couldn't eat it. I would definitely order this again. THE ENTRANCE: The entrance is difficult to find (it's an unlit entrance next to another store or restaurant) and looks a little shady but you walk down the stairs into a beautiful space filled with elegant tables and beautiful artwork of different landmarks in India. THE SERVICE & AMBIANCE: The service was quite slow but the ambiance was perfect for a fancy and affordable date night. Each table had white linens and was set up the way you would expect a fancy restaurant to be set up. The employees were care a lot about the business and kept asking us if we enjoyed the food. I could really tell the quality of the food was really important to them. Would we return? Absolutely!

    Pander tikka tandoori. Super generous in paneer portion size

    Coming from scarborough/ markham, my fiance and I were scared to not have good indian food in our area. Fortunately we found bhukara through a random yelp search when we first moved into our house. Located right on bloor is this underground (literally) indian restaurant. It is difficult to find at first glance since it's only a single walkway down to the basement but once you are in you can't really get lost. We've dined in twice and ordered take out many times. The last time we dined in we got the panner tikka tandorri and also got the green chicken (tandorri). Both came out hot and delicious. Portion size were fair as the chicken we got about 5 big chicken breast and panner we had 5 big slices. The flavours were bang on and was so delicious when hot. The only down fall to this dish is I wished they served it on a sizzling plate instead of a regular plate. For mains we usually get their butter chicken (spicy) and palak panner. Both are very good dishes and we never are disappointed with them! We've also had their aloo golbi and that is also really good and have a good spice to it as well. Garlic nan and butter nan comes to your table piping hot and leave you wanting more and more once it's done! Pricing for this is also fair (1.99/2.99) Overall Buhkra grill is our go to indian resto in our neighbourhood. Just wished they delivered to us!

    First review of a restaurant in the area . Ambiance is amazing , full of character and good crowd . Not too busy but still took them 40 mins to bring out the food . Paneer bukhara tasted really good and daal makhni as usual . Pudina parantha tasted amazing and crunchy

    Great little neighborhood. Storefront entrance and down the stairs. Enjoyed a shared meals for 2. Butter chicken and chicken curry as main courses with saffron rice. Also order yummy naan. Very good with nice service.

    What sets the Bloor location apart from their Mississauga location is the SERVICE! Man who seated and served us was very kind and gentle. Since this restaurant is newer, it's also a more dim, white table cloth, cavernous atmosphere with a lot of wood beams. Food is more or less the same as the Burnhamthorpe location. Except Bloor does not have a lunch buffet. :( I frequent the Burnhamthorpe location and 1 particular waiter there isn't the most friendliest - at least not to me. I don't know why. So when he serves me, I don't feel as welcomed as the other staff. Another difference is that the Bloor location is slightly more expensive. With certain dishes rice/naan is not included, so you end up paying a few dollars more. However, sometimes it is worth it to enjoy your dining experience and be treated nicely, as opposed to complete indifference!

    Complementary crunchy snacks... :)

    The definition of a hidden gem, Bukhara Grill is located in the Bloor West Village, its entrance tucked beside a Pizza Pizza. Ambiance: Beautifully decorated, with white table clothes and white napkins neatly folded on the the table. Very classy, and more formal than I had expected. Service: One thing that made the experience outstanding was the attentive service. There was a fresh hot towel provided at the beginning of the meal, and never have I ever had my glass of water refilled so many times! The waiters and servers are all very polite and gave helpful recommendations for what to order. Food: All of the food was fresh, flavourful and delicious. I shared a basket of naan, garlic rice, Chicken Jalfrezi (chicken cooked with ginger, garlic, onion and capsicum *the orange dish*) and Saag Chicken (chicken cooked with garlic, onion, green chillies and spinach *the green dish*). I particularly enjoyed the chicken jalfezi, as it seemed spicier than the saag chicken. I will be back for more!

    Butter chicken!

My sister loves this place so she took us all there to celebrate her birthday. Right away I loved the pink colour and warm, opulent vibe of the restaurant.

The lovely young woman serving here does so with a smile, and is as gracious and welcoming has her food is magnificent. Indian food is plentiful in Toronto, but few places blend the spices with fresh doughy roti as wonderfully and magnificently as Mother India. I think it is quite liberal use of the word mother, because I doubt too many Indian mothers can make their food taste this good. The Tikka Masala dish borrows from British Indian food, invented by immigrants to the UK from India, which itself borrows from the original Subcontinent dishes. The Canadian incarnation of this - complete with the wonderful floury slippery roti skins, and the piping hot blend of spices and chicken inside - is unmissable. If you haven't made your way out to the West end of town for some of the ethnic delights - Indian, Caribbean and many more - along Queen St W, then you have yet to truly experience the breadth and deliciousness of the magnificent food choices in Canada's largest city. And if it existed in a world where the bloody Brits had never invaded and colonized India in the first place, then it would be "Another India." But we can't undo the heinous actions of our past. Unfortunately, we also seem unable and unwilling to learn from them.

The restaurant is quite small however, nice quaint and very clean. We ordered a number of dishes: Chicken 65, The Spinach Paneer, Lamb Korma and Butter Chicken. We also ordered sides of Rice and Naan. The Chicken 65 was an appetizer. It was a fried chicken fritter similar to a boneless chicken wing. It was delicious and had some kick. The best way to describe the dish would be small bites of chicken covered in a pakora batter. So instead of onion its chicken. The Spinach Paneer was great. It had good flavor and had great texture. It paired nicely with the naan. The Butter Chicken was nice and creamy. It also had a nice a nice hint of sweetness. It was very good. I enjoyed eating it with the basmati rice. The star of the show was the lamb korma. The best part was the texture of the lamb. It was not overly gamey, and it melted in your mouth. The only slight knock on the food was the Naan could have been a little better. It was a little pita like. It wasn't bad, just not what I am used to. The service was great. Our server checked up on us frequently. This has to be some of the best Indian food I've had in a while. This will now be my go-to Indian restaurant. I really can't wait to return.
