I went there a few months ago with my daughter - my first Indian food in quite some years. I absolutely loved it! The service was the BEST service I have had in a restaurant lately. They helped us understand the menu, get good appetizers and explained what food would be good for us. I cannot recommend this place any higher - wonderful food and absolutely fantastic service!!!!! read more

I came here today with a coworker for their $9 lunch buffet. There were plenty of dishes which were mostly curry style dishes. I got my protein from the different style of chicken they offered. The best part was the fresh naan that kept on coming. Will definitely be back here again. read more

This was the closest Indian Restaurant to my Hotel in Suwanee. So i called from skype to place an order and the owner abused and hung up the phone right after picking it up. I called again from my cell and again the same guy went psychotic. I think these people need serious attitude adjustment. Please send them an psychiatrist. Don't go to this place if you go there i think they will attack you or something... read more

Walking in the door of this restaurant you are greeted by smiling staff and a fragrant cloud of comforting spice and cooking aromas. It's like a hug from your grandma. Interestingly, my grandmas weren't Indian so I can't explain the immediate familiarity and sense of Home in the place. The food is fresh and fantastic. I've been there twice in a month and I look forward to going back. If you're new to this cuisine, fear not: The menu is descriptive and the staff are anxious to answer any questions. It's in the same shopping center as the Kroger. Whether you're curious about Indian food or an old pro, give this place a try. So, Khaana kha lo, already! Ps. The naan is heaven. read more

Food was tasty, our server (the owner?) was very attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere was very pleasant overall. Delicious papadum appetizer. We all ordered 'mild' and it was still spicy enough. Great place! read more

Hit Bukharaa early for lunch on a Friday and was not disappointed. Spicy lentil soup was just hot enough but not overpowering and the rest of the buffet provided an great variety of vegetable and meat entrees. Naan bread delivered to the table straight from the oven can't be beat. Great service and great food. Will definitely be returning for dinner in the immediate future. read more

Drove for more than an hour (rush hour) from Lawrenceville to Bukharaa for my son's 14th birthday because he wanted Indian and the reviews I read were good. Place was pretty empty on a weeknight, but smelled great. Owner was a sweetheart, chatty and quick to answer questions. We got several dishes to share, mixed tandoori grill, chicken tikka masala, shrimp tandoori, palak paneer, poori, vegetable samosas, spicy bread like naan stuffed like a quesadilla with spicy peas and potatoes. Lots of rice to go along with it. Wish they'd asked if we wanted naan instead (an option on the menu) instead of all the dishes coming with rice. Everything was tasty, well-seasoned and fresh. Service was great. Kids were entertained by the Bollywood music video channel that was playing non-stop from the rear of the restaurant. The chef even brought out (mango?) rice pudding for everyone for dessert since they heard us telling our son Happy Birthday. Really good Indian for those luckier than us who live closer!!! read more

I have been going to Bukharaa for the past 2 years, and I have yet to be disappointed. The food and service are impeccable. I usually have the Barrah Kebab and then add 1 or 2 other curries to that. The Naan bread is the best I have had outside of England where one can find really good Indian restaurants on any High Street. I take friends there who are very knowledgeable about Indian cooking, and food and they love it as well. The style of cooking is mainly North Indian, Muglal cuisine but the South Indian dishes are also very well done. I have never found a need to try any other Indian restaurant in the area. My friends and I are slowly working my way through their menu. read more

My family was extremely disappointed in this restaurant. The service was poor and the food less than mediocre.

After reading all the reviews I gave it a try. Was early Friday last week. My mixed grill plate was hot but the chicken and fish was dry and may have been from the lunch buffet. Chicken tikka masala was cream and tomatoe purée. Worst than store bought Patak brand. Service was over bearing. Beer order was forgotten until reminded. Still tipped fairly at 15 as waiter was trying hard and learning how to pick up plates as manager instructed like a child right at my table. Moved here recently and always gone to madras which I will continue as my 9 year old was quiet disappointed as well. read more

Big fan of souther curries , and this place does them very well . This is day two of eating here . Highly recommended .

The best tastes of Indian. Fresh and Spicey. The staff/owners take full pride in everything they do. I will go again real soon.

Curries very flavorful great service try the Korma and the brihani

Taste is a major let down. I lived in SUWANEE for a couple of months recently and gave a try, multiple times. God...Believe me, even a single dish that I tried did come close to AVERAGE taste standards. Many of their dishes were tasteless & disgusting. most of the service is done by a lady in her 50 s who is very talkative and gives you an impression that you're about to eat a best meal...lol.. with her descriptions. Don't fall for that. Ambience is okay with loads of Bollywood videos playing around in television sets, but it's not any exciting either. Another fact is, all these indian restaurants in North America (also in Europe) follow this weird pattern as far as the ambience is concerned. They use the same " Rajasthani, maha raja with elephant carvings" kinda theme (I don't know how to put this in better words) which is boring, dull and un-inspiring. In some places, they use Bollywood or Taj Mahal themes, which are again so boring. I feel like watching Octopussy movie ( or indian news trailer that they used to play in movie theatres before the screening of every movie, in 1980s). If allowed, I assume, these restaurant guys even bring the snakes and beggars here and fit them in to the ambience to draw the attraction. Holy sh**, when did you leave India guys.... common, India is so versatile, different, big, and more vibrant. Adopt some better themes. Though a little weird,many of the times I can guess the taste of the food by seeing the ambience, and very rarely they prove me wrong. Coming back to the review, this restaurant is no different...very dull to my Indian eyes. Food is expensive too, but served in large quantities. Two people can easily share a dish. Again I am not a big fan of this kind of selling. I am for, low price & low quantity kinda pricing. That way, people can try more variety and above all controlling left over food in the plates is important and a social responsibility. So, over all this restaurant is a big let down, please stay away. read more

Very good food great service. Troublesome chicken and chicken madras are my favorite.

Phenominal food, great service. In love with their lunch buffet and freaked out when I found out the price went down for weekday lunch buffet! Lots and lots of vegan/vegeterian choices as well as food for meat-lovers! Naan is delicious and their vegetable fritters are to die for! Fell in love with indian food at this place and will keep coming back! read more

went on a weekday lunch, the good was several non veg dishes, chicken, Goat and also tandoori chicken, chicken biryani...on veg the Kadi was good, rest items were not tasted and did not appear inviting....the goat curry gt finished within a hr of opening and let us high and dry as it was prepared well. The owner pushed for Mango drinks, Soda's without mentioning they were extra's..bad practices as buffet clients needs to know . The ambience is most sad part(dull and low light) and so is service, its a place to fill-up and move on and not have a good time with family and friends...The Nan was best item. read more

Poor service and not good. Do not order Navratan Korma - they just dump bunch of steamed vegetables with no flavor. Naan is good - limited buffet compared to other Indian restaurants read more

Awesome lunch buffet, very nice staff.

It's not every time you step out after a meal at a restaurant that you heave a sigh of content, and decisively declare that every penny you spent on satisfying the rumblings of your tummy was money worth spent. Bukharaa is a cozy little gem hidden amidst the drab trappings of a strip mall plaza. My husband and I came here on a late last night (Saturday night- most other restaurants with good reviews were closed or closing soon while Bukharaa was open till 11 pm). The restaurant inside had a casual and relaxed feel, although the big television screen in the back playing Bollywood music was a tad distracting. Right off, it was apparent how hospitable the people running the place were. We were asked if we wanted iced or non-iced water, and we were served some complimentary perfectly fried papads while we perused the menu. The side sauces were of the usual mint and tamarind variety, but there was also a cup of spiced chopped onion that is usually found sprinkled over masala papad - a nice little deviation from what you typically get in most Indian restaurants. We started our meal with piping hot veggie samosas, the outside of which were golden-brown perfection. The inside stuffing, however, fell a little short - both my husband and I thought it was too bland and not particularly flavorful. However, we were able to make do by smothering our mouthfuls with the accompanying mint sauce. The rest of our meal, however, exceeded expectations. We got the tandoori paneer - a fabulous sizzling platter of soft, perfectly spiced paneer accompanied by crunchy onions and lettuce, grilled to retain their natural flavor. I am not a huge fan of paneer, but couldn't help marveling at how each mouthful melted in my mouth. To our delight, the owner served us complimentary fresh naan, and as some of the other reviews have mentioned, we'd never seen such a large, soft, fluffy version of this baked delight before! Interestingly, I'm not a huge fan of naan either (my husband is), but I couldn't help relishing it in its current form. We also ordered the vegetable biryani (because I needed my rice fix), which was flavorful and came with a raita that complemented the flavors of the biryani beautifully. By this time, we were both ridiculously full, and obviously requested boxes to pack up the remainder of our meal, gleeful of the fact we were going to continue experiencing the yumminess the next day. We were then served with two cups of complimentary rice pudding/kheer, which was creamy and not at all cloyingly sweet - that went down pretty easily despite our full tummies. All in all, full points for service and the delicious entrees! Note - because the service takes a while, it's best to come here to enjoy a relaxed and indulgent dinner, not if you're in a rush to get back to work during the day, or in any sort of hurry at all. read more

Worst food!!!!! they should close this restaurant!!!! Please don't give positive reviews and people don't believe that...very unhygienic place....nothing is fresh food that they serve. read more

Went on Thanksgiving night - service was one of the slowest -more than a hour for food to arrive. Some dishes were ok, others were below par. read more

it been many years since i have eaten authentic Indian food in the restaurants. Bukharaa has changed that. the lady running the place is very nice. she talks a lot and i like that. i want ppl to talk to their customers. isn't that a good thing? ppl say when u eat food, it should please all ur senses. Bukharaa has given me that satisfaction. they make food the way u like. if u dont want spicy food just let them know. i enjoyed spicy indian food and my family enjoyed mildly spicy indian food. i will surely go there again n again n again... read more

3 stars for food and -2 for the owner. Bukhara gets 1 star from me. Food was strictly ok. We couldve gone back just for food. But, when you are told clearly "We dont need your business" while leaving, who would want to go back ? So me and my husband go for a relaxing weekend lunch buffet. At bukhara, we meet a white guy clearly passionate about Indian food. He starts talking to us about Indian food and asks us what other restaurants we would recommend. We tell him a few places. After some discussion, he goes back to his table and we continue our lunch. The owner is clearly upset about our conversation - we think its coz we were talking about other businesses at his restaurant. He throws some naans on our plate. I ask him if he is upset about something and he says our conversation disturbed other customers - when there were only about 8 more people in the restaurant. Anyway he continues being rude to us and shouts expletives at us while leaving. He says dont come back - and so we are not going back. read more

Hands down the best indian food i have ever had, and i have been to many indian places, the whole staff is as nice as anyone ive ever met and being in their company is like being in the company of close family. They get to know you and are always kind, any review with negative comments about the staff or the food are being posted by competing indian places. 5 stars every day of the week, and we go to Bukharaa every week because we love the food and we love the people. read more

Dined here last week. Dead cockroach found in appetizer. Did not order rest of dinner. Totally disgusting. When complained to the staff, they didn't seem bothered. People who rave about the food n service must be drunk ! read more

Great family restaurant in Johns Creek area. My kiddos love the keema samosas, the curries are great and the service is prompt, friendly and attentive. Be sure to try Rogan Jash, and the naan. The biryani's should be skipped though, rice is always overcooked. Overall, great spot. read more

Stay away from this place.Complete garbage.Already 4 of my friends and myself suffered with upset stomach from the crappy and old food.I am not new to Indian food and eat out in most Indian restaurants in this part.Things where good when started now it is down the drain.Weekday Lunch buffet items are junk and old and the service is pathetic.Felt like I was eating for free from the look of the owner. Skip this place and stay healthy. Surprised to see how many Americans who have no clue about Indian food have rave reviews.God Save Them. The reviews about rude service is so true. read more

Food doesn't taste authentic North Indian. Butter chicken had too much color added to it. I tried different dishes at different times, thinking something might be good, but I was disappointed everytime. read more

BUGS IN OUR FOOD!!!!! If I could give zero stars, I would. Tonight we ordered Bukharaa take-out. There were cooked BUGS in one of our dishes (I thought roach, my husband argued for stink bug). I found the bug AFTER I had eaten a lot of my dinner. I have never, ever, ever felt sicker in my life -- I literally threw up. I do not like to give bad reviews, but this experience has been truly traumatizing. I worked in the restaurant industry for many years, and I totally understand that sometimes things happen, but I do not understand how these bugs got into the dish and was COOKED. Beyond Nasty!!!!!!!! I checked health department website and this restaurant initially scored a 50 (YES 50!) on inspection. UGH!!! read more

This is by far the BEST place for Authentic Indian food in Georgia. The owners are incredibly nice and always make us feel like part of their family when we come to eat. The food is so good and flavorful. I've never tasted anything so wonderful! They will get you anything you need to make your meal perfect. The atmosphere is relaxing and causal. The buffet is also very awesome, but we mostly come for dinner. Get here as fast as you can for the best food ever!!! read more

Food, ambience and service was excellent. Tikka Masala was the bomb. Definitely coming back.

My first experience with Indian food and it was amazing! I've never gone before out of fear of not knowing what to order. The owner was incredibly helpful with this, spent a lot of time explaining menu to me & making suggestions after listening to my taste preferences. The Naan bread is made fresh every day and just melts in your mouth. Had the stuffed naan with lamb to start, then the Chicken Tikka Masala, which I couldn't get enough of (and still craving). No room to order dessert but we were given rice pudding at the end of our meal that was also tasty. An all around excellent experience, already made plans to take friends back! read more

Bukharra has the best Indian food that I have had. Every thing is homemade including the Naan. They will prepare the dishes to your personal heat tolerance. Their Chicken Tikka Masala is outstanding. The staff members are incredibly attentive. The owner is always stopping by your table to talk. read more

This was my first time eating Indian cuisine and I have to say it was delicious. Everything I had was mild ( I am a wuss) but I enjoyed every bite. The owners of the establishment were so kind and accommodating. I will definitely be back. read more

This is one of our favorite Indian restaurants. My husband, daughter and I try to get here as often as possible. The best naan bread and we've never been disappointed by the buffet! It's a family run restaurant and the owners are wonderful people and very attentive to all of their customers. I was very surprised to read the review posted by Pranjal as we were there that day. The owners bent over backwards to work with them and we offered to give up our seats to better accommodate them. Not sure what was chaotic or messy, we didn't see it. The food was delicious as always. read more

today I was at this place with my family.The food was avrage. the customer service was absolutly horrible. They charged my credit card twice, and when I called, I was on hold for long time. The owner was rude and didn't apoligize to me. he told me it is my problem and I have to call my bank. read more

We are regular patrons. We have always had the best in food, service and experience. We highly recommend any of the Lamb dishes and particularly the Peshwari Naan bread (baked Indian bread with raisins and nuts). If you want authentic Indian food and atmosphere, this is THE place in Atlanta. read more

We were regulars at Bukhara but not anymore. We reached at 9:20 PM on a weekday and they serve till 10:00. The service was slower than a tortoise. One of our dish was not good and when i gave the feedback, the waitress had guts to say that you came towards the closing time. Who the heck in the world talks to customers like that. Either close the restaurant early or provide good service till its open. Just because we are coming towards end of the day, does not mean we will not get quality food. Never going back again and will make sure that none of our friends visit it as well. read more

I have been to their buffet with a colleague of mine (big Indian food lover). The food is average at best and I have tried several of the Indian restaurants in Atlanta area. For somebody that has never tried Indian food, this probably is a good place but if you are experienced like me avoid this place read more
