Bokhara in North Down

Omg fish was gorgeous and my friend loved her fry submarine rolls .Top notch girls and great service .Thank you

Well the food is traditional Indian full of flavour, bloody lovely , I had a meal in Yaks last night which I though was a bit bland and the keema nan had hardly any meat in , this place ticks all the boxes

Usually have a meal from here and it is great but tonight very poor. Came cold and very small portion.

We had a sports meeting in the Bokhara on Wednesday last. This was an excellent venue and I would thoroughly recommend it. Most importantly, the proprietor responded to all our needs in a courteous and professional manner. The food provided was excellent and the service was second to none. It’s not difficult to understand why the Bokhara has the reputation it has. Thank you.

Ordered a takeaway this evening and when we got home realised they had forgotten one of the pilau rice. Phoned to query and they suggested we come back (the 30 min return journey) and collect it (while the rest of the food goes cold 🙄). Asked for them to refund the rice and they said no, that the rice was free and hung up on me! The food was also disappointing, we had specifically stated at least 3 times that we wanted both dishes mild but they were far from mild, one had a huge green chilli in it.

Consistently amazing. Best Indian around 🇮🇳

Chicken was dry,we got butter chicken and chicken tikka masala both tasted the same 🤷🏻‍♂️very strange, I’ve had butter chicken before not from here and completely different taste in a better way in other restaurants.

Food was ordered at 5:30, delivered at 7:10, my son’s meal wasn’t in the delivery and they said they would send replacement 7:50 and it’s still not here. He is only 9 and still waiting and it’s his bedtime

delivery person was argumentitive about address insisted that my address was a house It is an appartment rude response

Have been in the Bokhara many times but only now getting round to review Visted Saturday evening 11th January 6:30ish Ordered Large Coke Zero 2 pint bottles Cobra Chicken Korma Chicken Tikka Jalfrezi 2 pilau rice Peswari Nan Garlic Nan Food was delicious as usual,generous portions my Jalfrezi was nice an spicy just how I like it there was a decent sized crowd in which made for a nice ambiance,the staff were attentive and friendly a real Credit to Joy keep u the good work 👏 Total cost £61 very reasonable for the time we had

Lovely food. Will use them again

Everything from Bokhara is so flavoursome especially the garlic nans 🤤

Excellent food and service, the staff is so friendly, will have to come back.

Food was great, tasted really fresh and delivered on time

Fantastic meal great service everything was good can say no more

Not so worried about being a few minutes late the food was lovely and it was quite a big order. Would order again

Quite disappointed with the food here. Butter chicken was lacking in flavour, overly sweet and chicken was dry. Garlic naan was doughy and garlic didn’t taste fresh. Nothing stood out as even being half decent except for the poppadoms and dips..

Waited an extra 30 mins on top of original collection time and when picked up didn’t receive naan bread and garlic sauce that was ordered

In my view best Indian in Bangor. Had a great chicken naga here and thoroughly enjoyed it. The service is great and the prices are reasonable. They catered for the kids who aren’t keen on Indian food. Don’t hesitate but go check it out.

Really tasty stuff best in Bangor just wish you got a few more popadums

Nicest meal I have had out in a while service was top quality ,l honestly couldn't have faulted any part of the evening !! Would highly recommend and will be back again soon .

Ordered at 6pm for 8pm delivery - arrived at 8.30pm and wasn’t that hot.

Missing chips but it’s ok ,they were very helpful and resent me asap

This is a really great place to eat out food excellent and the hospitality of the owner and staff are extremely nice and friendly very welcoming

A truly amazing restaurant from greeting to service 5 star Food is out of this world when you taste the flavours and realise just how amazing it is you realise that it's one of the best restaurants you can go to. Run by amazing owners who welcome you and add to the perfect atmosphere. I would recommend and advise anyone to go sample perfection Bangor needs to understand what a gem they have

while the food is expensive for a take away, the quality is excellent and well worth paying that little bit extra.

We got a really large takeaway (18people) for a party last night and despite the restaurant being packed the service and quality of food was excellent! Everything in the order was correct and hot when we picked it up, it was ready bang on time and they even threw in a few freebie extras. Absolutely delighted, can’t recommend enough!

Amazing food and wonderful service. Went for a birthday party and the staff were wonderful. Highly recommend 👍

Ordered at 1920, it’s now 2050 and it’s still not here

Phoned in for a collection, and whilst it took a little longer than expected, it was certainly worth the wait. The restaurant was busy and vibrant with people sitting in to eat. I got a chicken tikka vindaloo and the quality of the chicken was superb. My poppadoms were crisp and fresh, the red sauce for them rich and tasty, and my paratha bread was delicious. Washed down with a bottle of Tiger. Definitely be back soon. Thanks to all.

App says 30mins for collection. Drive across to restaurant and it's Bedlam. completely overstretched numerous disgruntled customers waiting for booked tables and collections. Staff like headless chickens and no updates. waited..waited...waited etc, 3 times asking about the order. finally handed order with a sorry for the wait, not an offer of partial refund or complementary drink/side. Just smacks of a bit greedy to be honest. Restaurant writing checks its staff and kitchen can't cash!

The service is ridiculous, terrible. 2 weeks running more than hour late, last time I will order from here

Absolutely delicious, piping hot, exactly as ordered :-)

Delicious tasty food. Lamb was so tender in curry and chicken tikka bhuna full of flavour. Very enjoyable Indian food best delivery we have had 🤩

Top restaurant just the best my favourite place to go

As ever good curry best in Bangor

The restaurant was buzzing with a mix of couples, families, birthday parties and other gatherings. The friendly, efficient staff, despite being under pressure, worked flat out and made our visit a memorable one. The music guy topped the evening off. Loved it. The food was just delicious. Well done Joy and team. Back soon. T

An Indian restaurant in the British city of Bangor, affiliated with the city of Belfast

The food is delicious but peppery

Order never arrived and when wee called the restaurant they said they are too busy and hung up on us but they took our money £40 and we never received our food

I have lived in Bangor for 21 years, how have I never eaten here before? I was born in NI and raised in Durban, South Africa, which has a large Indian population which is where I developed a love for the cuisine. I ordered lamb curry tonight and it took me right back to Durban and actually brought tears to my eyes. The food was outstanding and the flavours were incredible. My mouth was salivating even after we had left. I will definitely be back as this has just become my favourite restaurant. Even the cheesecake at the end was a flavourful event!!!! Tonight I go to sleep a happy woman!

Always great. Best Indian in County Down by far 5 stars

the food was warm and not hot, the naans were cold. we had a notification from just eat saying the food has arrived and it still wasn't with us for another 10 mins

The only resturant to go to. Chicken tikka byriani was amazing.

Great place to sit in food lovely got my first carry out for father's day and they forgot my father's meal in the order and I live quite far away got a refund but no compensation for travel

What a great night we all had…brilliant food and hospitality from Joy…plus the music to finish the evening off with dance…brilliant time Joy…

Best Indian in Bangor.. Can't say much more than that

Nice restaurant. I went there two years ago, when I visited Northern Ireland. Excellent food and service, I'm sure that I'll go back soon.

had to wait 30 minutes after your collection time, there were no other people waiting

Recently visited this Indian restaurant with some family members. The place was very busy and is obviously very popular. We ordered a mixed starter to share and a variety of curry’s, rice and naan bread, as well as popadoms. All in all the food was very good, I chose a slightly different curry which I expected to be more like a butter chicken, but seemed to have a fruit salad in it, the gentleman serving did mention this, but when he said fruit, I was expecting maybe some apricots, not quite as much mixed fruit as this but wasn’t bad at all. Other curry’s included a Lamb special which my father really enjoyed. Service was very good and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others, and will be back again to try some of their other specials.

Fantastic curry. Great food, delivered on time

What an amazing restaurant! It was the first time I've been to a place where you can dance during a great dinner! The food was delicious, the staff was amazing - very nice and smiling. Everyone tried very hard to make everything perfect. The atmosphere and decor make you feel like you're in India! We will definitely come back!

Waited a long time on our meal. Thought it was very expensive compared to other Indian restaurants, rice comes separately at 3.50 on top of your meal. 6.50 for a glass of wine 🍷

Excellent meal, thoroughly enjoyed.

One of Bangor's gems. The food is DELICIOUS. The Staff are attentive and professional, both young and more experienced. Live music from 9pm is top notch. Young, middle aged and those with a few years on the clock all enjoy the atmosphere and it is simply a terrific night out.

Fantastic food, freshly cooked and very tasty.

Overall a waste of an evening. Out with a group of friends but the music was so loud we couldn't talk to each other. Singer was determined to embarrass people and insisted on singing into people's faces, mine included, even though I made it clear I didn't like it. Ordered food at 8pm, and starters arrived about 9.30pm. They had got the orders wrong, so I had to wait longer for my sides to arrive, leaving my curry to get cold. Staff are friendly, though our waitress was a little pushy, insisting on us ordering more than we actually wanted. Only really positive things was the food was very tasty, although eating dinner at 10pm rather ruined even that. Sadly I won't be back.

Brilliant food in a brilliant place. Enjoyed everything tonight.x

Two portions of rice were left off our order

Five stars. Quality of food, service and attention cannot be faulted. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Food was absolutely amazing! highly recommend.

food was lovely but ordered a special balti there was no king prawn in it all made it a very expensive chicken amd lamb curry....

Food was ordered at 6:20pm, didn’t arrive until 9:20pm. Was told the food had been delivered at 7:20pm but apparently had been delivered to the wrong address as we didn’t receive it!

Once again I've been overcharged, either girls don't know the prices or difficulty doing the maths? Really need to get their act together. I called to query and was told yes its been a mistake but then no prices have went up and to check the new updated menu. I have done and still overcharged.

Had heard so many good reports of this place, so I decided to order a carry out, giving over 2 hrs notice of delivery.Had to phone when it was 20 mins late.When it did arrive the meal was cold. I was very disappointed with the service. Obviously, our address was at the end of the delivery run. In my opinion, restaurants should not overbook their delivery slots as they damage their reputation and disappoint icustomers

I’m personally not a huge fan of Indian cuisine but I really enjoyed my food from Bokhara, the service good and the atmosphere was good (according to the person who got the food as it was not me) and I loved the naan bread, poppadoms, the Prawn Korma, and the lamb dinner kabab (which I ate the day after for lunch) the people I ate with also thoroughly enjoyed their food and we will probably return reasonably soon.

Great restaurant and takeaway. Foods outstanding. Been getting from here for well over 20 years now (maybe nearly 30 years). Finally they made a mistake. Left off the lamb madras. Called them and told the lady I didn't want to come grab it again. She offered a refund or send the driver out with it (and a little bonus as a sorry). Love this place. Part of the furniture in Bangor.

I have been coming to the bokhara for many years sit in and take away but tonight the waiter was extremely rude and embarrassed me in front of other customers....so Joey sorry I will not be back

Always great food and service. Really love this place and not too pricey. Staff very knowledgeable and friendly. Really delicious food cooked to your liking. Try the balti. Superb !! Pretty decent wine list with affordable house wines which match the food. Nice Guinness too!

Great food. Big old portions and the delivery driver was a friendly chap.

love the food from here. consistently great quality Indian food.

Not only a great evening but especially cos it was a great and rare family event…harder to get organised than you think…lol…OwnerJoy was fantastic…nothing was too muck trouble….PS. Garlic and cheese Nanns are to die for…Brilliant get together…one to remember!!!!

Lovely food loved the popadoms and curries was really nice also the starters lovely thanks

Brilliant service, attention and food was amazing, I'll be back

Unfortunately it was cold when it arrived :(

Always great. Best Indian around. 5 star ⭐️

food really lovely, but arrived far to early than had ordered for, had to keep in oven until guest arrived.

We bought all starters , beautiful . The salad with every starter was lovely. Sliced lettuce , cucumber , onion and tomato , BUT LISTEN , they even put POMEGRANATE IN , beautiful with all the chilli , garlic and tomato dips . 10 OUTA 10 👌👏👏👏💯

I enjoy Bokhara and the service of the staff at the counter at every visit but seriously fed up with the Naan with cheese. The cheese is more like a spread and more often than not its like trying to wash down sand paper even when it is mixed in to soften it up. Tonight one of them had nuked..provoking this review which is long overdue.

Great as usual! Unfortunately when we got home there was a dish missing from our order - BUT they were fab and had the dish delivered out to us within 45mins (they offered for collection straight away but we had guests and were in no rush, so delivery was perfect and very appreciated)! Will definitely be ordering from Bokhara again as they never disappoint!

Been going here from the place opened. Never had one bad meal and service is brilliant. I find this place very friendly atmosphere and they take there time out to welcome you. Thank you Bokhara 😁

Food was cold after being 45 minutes late and my guest were worried about reheating it. And there wasnt any dips which we always get with the popadoms. Very poor.

Food was very good and fresh, can't fault the food. Service was painfully slow. Tuesday evening, restaurant less than a quarter full, and we waited a long time between courses. Staff seemed to vanish between courses too so couldn't ask for another drink etc. Decor is dated, placed feels very drab and dead.

Everything needed heated as cold not what i expect from a regularly visited resteraunt

Order arrived late, (although our driver contacted us to say sorry) our chips and curries were cold , poppadoms soggy and my naan bread wasn't included and i paid for it. Very disappointing from a usually lovely takeaway.

Food arrived cold still waiting for confirmation of refund requested

Best Indian takeaway in Bangor 👌

Food delivered cold. Poppadoms soft

Food was Stone cold went straight into the bin

Amazing as always. Great food. 5 star ⭐️ service and food. Even on this busy New Year’s Eve evening

great food but 1hr for collection isn't great, the app said 20mins and I was waiting for another 40 mins after I arrived.

Items missed off order again. Happens every time I order from here. Foods great, but clearly an issue when items are missing each time I order.

Delivery booked for 6pm latest. Rang at 6-20 to be told it had left. Rang at 6-45 to be told it was just leaving. When it arrived one hour late it was short 5 portions of poppadoms. Order was £100+. No compensation, useless and will never use again.

Busy night so delivery was as expected. Food excellent as always.

Food was cold and not up to their usual standard , I assume because so busy but the delivery took 2 hours which is totally unacceptable. I recieved a message saying it was ours arrive at 7.50 but was almost an hour later .

It wasn’t delivered at all and if I could I would give no stars at all

Inedible and SO LATE Ordered food at 6:20, had to phone at 8:10 to see where our order was and it was delivered at 8:25pm. There was an apology but no mention when we ordered that the restaurant was being prioritised and there would be a long delay, otherwise we’d not have ordered. Food arrived cooler than luke warm and was so heavily spiced it was inedible. ( same dishes we’ve had from this restaurant before so not a case of us not coping with spicy food). Really disappointed at the poor customer service this evening.

Great food. Great portions and really quick delivery.

Haven't been for a while, and it felt as if we'd been there yesterday. Such a warm welcome from Joy, and all the staff. Fantastic food, as always, and the staff couldn't have done more. We will be back again soon. Best Indian in Bangor. 5*

Chips were awful, binned them straight away…rice greasy…

We always have the best of the best food from Bokhara. This one fell short. Maybe more due to delivery time. But on arrival the naan was stone cold. The chips were 80% cold. Some of the chicken seemed a little undercooked. Just all a little disappointing compared to the usual.
