Imagine stepping into a space and being embraced by the robust flavors of the North West Frontier. This is the essence of dining at Delhi’s top fine-dining restaurant, Bukhara. Nestled within the prestigious ITC Maurya, Bukhara is more than just a place to eat. It proudly stands as an icon of culinary heritage that has preserved its original concept for 45 years.
Bukhara Defines Authenticity
Bukhara’s enduring success since its inception in 1978 can be attributed to its unwavering dedication to its roots. The earthy tones, clay-tiled flooring, and sturdy wooden stools and tables radiate an old-world charm that perfectly complements its culinary ethos. The open kitchen, where chefs skillfully manage the tandoor creates an immersive experience for diners to witness the artistry behind each dish.
Menu Rooted in Tradition
While the ambiance promises to transport you to a realm of rustic elegance, the menu is a statement of Bukhara’s legacy; a mastery of the traditional art of grilling. Every dish on the menu offers an unmatched gastronomic journey. However, there are some dishes that have become must-haves at this fine dining restaurant. Truth be told, signature dishes like the Dal Bukhara, a velvety black lentil preparation simmered overnight, and the Murgh Malai Kebab, succulent chicken marinated in a rich blend of cream, cheese, and spices have a cult following. Meanwhile, the Tandoori Raan, a whole leg of lamb marinated in robust spices and cooked to perfection in the tandoor is a must-try. No visit to Bukhara is complete without having the family-size naan, a gigantic bread, which is not just a dish but an event in itself. When paired with this culinary gem’s kebabs that just melt in your mouth, it promises a meal that lingers in your memory long after having it.
What sets Bukhara apart is its steadfast dedication to incorporating dining traditions that honor authenticity. The food is served without cutlery to encourage diners to eat with their hands, a practice rooted in age-old customs. This helps deepen the connection with the food.
Dining at Bukhara is about experiencing a legacy like no other. Whether you are a Delhiite or a traveler, plan a visit to this culinary gem to experience an authentic slice of India’s gastronomic heritage. You won’t be disappointed, we promise!
