Visited on a Wednesday afternoon for a mid week treat. Both had Karahi Chicken with roti breads. The portion size was great, as was the service. The food was delicious, and reminded us currys from back home in Bradford. Definitely recommend

Friday at 5pm. Pops arrived before the drinks but were Fresh and delicious. King prawns in Sesame seeds delicious. Grilled lamb chips were the the most tender chops I’ve had and spiced to perfection. Karahi chicken was absolutely delicious Lamb chilman birayni was outstanding and packed either lamb and delicious rice. Buttered nan was the lightest nan ever and totally delicious. No alcohol but they didn’t matter.

It has been a few years since we last visited Bukhara. Like other restaurants price have risen in the last few years. Having a family meal we were geared for a heft bill. We were less geared to for average or below average food. I had a dopiaza, the key ingredient are onions. here they added small pickled onions to the curry. It did not taste pleasant.

We were in the area and thought we'd give this place a try. It's easy to find off the main road and has plenty of parking. We thoroughly enjoyed the food but felt that everything was rushed and they were keen to get us out as fast as possible, despite it not being at all busy. We were offered drinks and poppadoms within seconds of sitting down, got starters before finishing those and were completely finished and out in about 30 minutes.

I'm not from these neck of the woods, dropped in for a takeaaway whilst passing through the area, I'd say its the best takeaway curries I have had for a long time , (the best I've had outside of whitechapel London and the Northern quarter Manchester) ! Chicken Madras, Lamb Nehari were excellent. I'll be travelling to this place regularly, none of the twenty or so takeaways in my home town touch this place.

Amazing the word comes to mind, The customer service was second to none and we were treated with respect and curtesy, from the waiters to the management. All our needs were catered for within the guidelines of COVID-19. The food was exceptional and mouthwateringly tasty. Bukhara has left a wonderful lasting memory on this special occasion. Thank-you so much Bukhara.

This leg of lamb as usual was perfectly juicy in the center, with a fantastic crust. Full of flavour and very tender throughout accompanied with a spectacular gravy sauce and Roasted potatoes that just melted in the mouth. Lime soda is unbeatable, tried it in a few other restaurants but Bukhara's is unique, mango salad and Greek salad as usual was top notch.Overall the food Was so impressive had to get the waiter to call the Head Chef out as all my friends wanted to personally compliment the excellent food and trust me, we visit places up and down the country so we know our food.Hats off to the Head Chef - KDNever fails to impress.OMG is it fabulous!

Went today. The eat out to help out offer was on. We got seated. Told half of menu not available. Not even poppadoms. We said really? Man goes yes we are too busy and waved his hand for us to look around. Didnt look any busier than usual. So basically its pointless going when the offers on as they only serve limited menu so they can rake in as much as possible. Bad customer service all the way. Almost felt like they were doing us a favour as if they were giving the reduction in price out of their pockets. The food wasnt very nice. So even at half price felt a waste of money. At the end asked for desserts menu. We were told only 2 options available. What??? This eat out help out to them means do half the menu if that and get as many people as you can in and out. They know they will get people in on the offer days so no need to put effort in. Pure greed. So i said to the waiter its ok we wont have dessert can you pack a karahi for my partner. And he said to me you could have told me before whilst you were eating as we need table. Unbelievable. Then he asked if we could pay and he would bring to car. On way out i went to tell him which car and he said come back in 10 minsJust rude. Felt like complaining. But i dont think they would have took it on board. Whole place stunk of unprofessionalism How this place gets any business with zero manners is beyond me. I certainly wont be going again

My friends and I usually go kebabish but fancied a change. Booked a table for 5 for 8pm. Was shown to a table, no greeting, no pleasantries exchanged. Waiter appeared 10 mins later, asked if we were ready to order, requested drinks and popadom starters. Arrived quite fast. Appeared 10 mins later for order. Didn’t recommend anything, rushed us through, really quite rude and gave out a can’t be arsed attitude. Starters came quick, lamb chops were quite fatty and didn’t taste nice at all. Curry’s came 20 mins later, small portions. Lamb curry was really fatty and smelled of old fatty lamb, couldn’t eat it, the smell was knocking me sick. Complained to waiter at the end of the meal when he asked if we wanted it bagging up, point blank refused and told him the lamb was awful. No apology, no offer of replacement no offer of removing it off the bill despite not much of it eaten. Was cleaning the table after us before we had even left the table. Awful staff, over priced bland manky meat. Will never visit this place again. £96 down the drain and massive stomach ache

It has been several years since we have been to Bukhara.We ate here at an event. The service was friendly and efficient.The mixed grill starter was very good. I really liked the lamb chops and tikka.We tried their biryani that comes covered in a pastry.

My hosts ordered the sizzling Tandoori mixed grill to start which arrived with delicious lamb chops, chicken tikka and meat kebabs on onions and peppers. A side dish was fresh mango salad which was so good the lady at our table asked for a portion to take home to her mother! Main dishes of Akbari chicken masala featured a luscious creamy sauce, the Desi Lamb was so tender it just fell off the bone and the Karahi King Prawn provide the seafood interest. All this with garlic and plain naan straight from the oven with roti too. What a wonderful Lahore feast

Have now started to make a regular early evening monthly visit to Bukhara. The staff are always welcoming and the service is excellent without being overbearing. The menu is extensive and whichever dish I have chosen, the subtleties in the flavours and the combination of the spices excellently complement the main ingredient. My current favourite is the Chicken Madras which, I know, is usually pretty standard, but not in Bukhara. In Bukhara, it is a culinary delight !! To top it all, they serve Mango Lassi by the Jug (very few other establishments even offer Lassi by the glass, let alone the jug)

I decided to call here not having visited for several years. There is ample parking on the restaurant car park. Nicely located in a rural area just outside Preston. The restaurant is well furnished in a modernistic style. The menu is not particularly extensive though that is no bad thing as each dish seems to have its own distinctive style. I ordered sheek kebab starters which were first class and quite spicy indeed. For main I went for the chicken karahi which again was spicy and of good portion size. The plain naan to accompany the main was light and fluffy and delicious too. No alcohol is allowed on the premises but there is a decent selection of soft drinks, bottled and tap water. The service was excellent throughout my stay although it was relatively quiet being late afternoon at the time of my visit. Payment by card at the end of the meal was fast and efficient.I really couldn't fault the meal or the restaurant in anyway whatsoever; thoroughly recommended

I would not recommend this place at all. We booked a table for 8:30pm when we went in we had to wait around ten minutes to be seated. The staff did not greet us in and looked awfully moody. This is not good impression at all as it was our first visit there aswell. The service was so slow and staff was not engaging one bit. If you look the pictures we have posted it took one hour and ten minutes for our starters to come this is the worst and latest we have ever waited. On top of that other people got served before us when we came first and their food came quicker. Our starters took over an hour and they were such small portions and shouldn’t have taken this long. The main course took 30 mins after that to arrive. The staff are not trained well and where I was sat I could see a manager I think he was shouting and swearing at his kitchen staff due to a mistake I think the chef has made. Working in a customer based environment myself this is not what you want to see. Our bills came to £50. Which I think was a waste of £50. I would not recommended this place at all. Awful service never again. When we payed the bill we didn’t even get a Thankyou. Shocking restaurant service.

Went here last night with my family, heard great things. Ordered a few mixed grills some karahis and drinks. The mixed grill was just pieces of tandoori chicken with loads of seekh kebabs and only 2 lamb chops, whereas on the menu there was supposed to be more variety. The lamb and fish karahi had far too much masala and hadn’t been cooked carefully, didn’t enjoy it. Cost, £90. Didn’t stay for dessert. Never going back.

Have frequented Bukhara for at least 10 years, regularly making a 30+ mile round trip to dine here. Food & service has always been worth it. However, can’t help but notice a slow decline of sorts. Difficult to put finger on it but think more to do with general management than anything else. Food still very good but on an odd occasion when something hasn’t been quite right there has been a cavalier response eg “meat not cooked through, slightly pink” Response? “That’s what the dish is like. It’s served pink”. Ermm, Ive eaten this dish here for 12 yrs, it being one of my favourites. It’s never been served pink”. Response? “No, it’s always served pink” Just a look. No offer to replace. No offer to cook a little longer. So, I had to resort to asking for a different dish to replace it! Embarrassing. Very unprofessional. An occasional incorrect order ie chicken dish brought out when lamb was ordered. Response? “No, you ordered chicken”. Me? I’ve never eaten chicken in my life. I ordered lamb. “No, you ordered chicken!” These are just 2 small examples amidst several others, resulting in disappointment at what was once our favourite restaurant. Another example. Ate there last week. Six of us for birthday meal. Restaurant busy as ever. Had eaten three courses in approx one and a half hours but even before asking us if we’d like deserts or coffee, head waiter made a sign in the air indicating were we ready for our bill! Talk about feeling rushed! Feeling uncomfortable, we declined and left. This is unacceptable. In all our years of visiting, we have never ever felt rushed, however busy the restaurant. Management, in our opinion, was always a strong feature of Bukhara. Not so now. Very disappointed. Ps: on a slight aside, have read in previous reviews complaints about exterior drains smelling grotesquely. We have never personally experienced this...until last week. Immediately outside restaurant smelt like intense raw sewage. It was truly nauseating. Please Bukhara, pay attention

We've passed by the Bukhara on many occasions but never gone in, so we were delighted when a Pakistani friend of ours invited us there for dinner. Well, what an experience! The building is modern, with a visible kitchen; there's masses of car parking space. The menu is large but packed with authentic Pakistani specialities such as the wonderful chilman biryani - we were very hard-pushed to chose. In the end what we had was absolutely wonderful - one of the best meals of the type that I've ever had. The service was friendly and polite, and the prices were really very good value - many of the main courses were under £10. The four of us staggered out at the end of the evening completely full of the most wonderful food, with the remnants packed away in doggie bags for us. Absolutely super!!

It's poor customer service here at the best of times but usually the food makes up for it, but tonight it was shockingly rude and below standard food! We were rushed despite asking for a few minutes between courses. It's not like the place was busy but it seemed staff wanted to rush off. Manager was dismissive and didn't even acknowledge our complaint when the food was not to usual standard and the dressing on the mango salad was missing. Plates and drinks were cleared when we hadn't finished, we felt awkward to complain repeatedly so we left in huge disappointment onto another place to finish our evening. Appears like the owners are away bcos standards are slipping.

Christmas get together for my family is difficult as we're spread far and wide. Bukhara is almost central for us so we booked a table and arranged to meet there just before Christmas. We were seated upstairs which was cold and, to start with, service was fine but we were ignored more and more as other families arrived. Our food was very tasty and the lassis were incredible. Plates were removed as soon as the last mouthful of food was taken and the slower eaters felt rushed as waiters hovered over them. We were hurried out as the tables were needed for the next booking (we were only there for two hours maximum) and given the £25/head bill I found the staff's attitude disappointing.

Quiet Tuesday in early January yet the restaurant was bustling when we left. An Asian friend from Bolton was dining so Bukhara obviously has appeal beyond local boundaries. Enjoyed excellent mixed grill of tandoori lamb chops, chicken and minced meats with a wide range of sauces. Main course was a curried but rich and creamy lamb that just melted in the mouth. Accompanied by superb tarka dahl and naan bread freshly baked and served. This was simple but superb and I will definitely return.

Been past loads of times , always full car park ,and when friends sent invite , could'nt wait , We were a party of 9 and were showed to our table which was very nicely set and plenty of room , We were advised to eat our starters first , then order main meals , The starters were massive the salad's were presented perfectly , It also gave us time for a much needed rest between food , Then the Main arrived , again perfectly served , massive portions and perfect taste , this is what i call real asian cooking , The staff were very well presented and polite and always checking that everything was in order , From outside it looks expensive but i thought it was not expensive at all { and i am from Yorkshire } ,we will be going back soon , Anyone thinking of going i would ring and book , and check opening times ,

We attended during Ramadan so the resaturant was very busy with other hungry diners, unfortunately the food tasted like it had been reheated and wasn't very fresh. We mentioned this and received some money off the bill, no complaints. Service was great.

Quite simply, this is the best curry in the north west, from start to finish. Great, friendly service. Tip: over order and they will pack up anything you don't eat into takeaway bags. Your'll want to eat it again tomorrow!

This non-alcoholic establishment is large and very popular. Spacious, comfortable, friendly service if a bit off-hand. Vegetable Samosa is a chef's recommendation, but I found the pastry too crisp for my taste, but the chicken main course was probably the best Indian / Asian meal I have ever had. I've put Indian / Asian because I wasn't sure if the menu was more Pakistani. I ordered medium, it was available as medium or hot, but wouldn't have coped with anything hotter.

The Food King of the Northwest a real gem.The quality of the food is exceptional,The attention to detail in all the dishes we Ordered is mind blowing ! The food was delicious and there was plenty for everyone. I had to go meet the Master Chef & his Team in Person to thank Them. Very professional down to earth Gentlemen Mr Salim , Abu Bakr and Mr Kutub .The Outstanding Service given by Mr Anis and Mr Naeem who are very friendly & helped us with the menu choices. A must to try in the Specials is the Stuffed Fish & Aberdeen Angus beef Steak :)Will definitely go again as the food cooked here is the Best."Think of authentic tasty food . GO Bukhara"

It is literally in the middle of know where yet worth a trip. Halal restaurant so no alcohol for you drinkers but the service and food are worth the visit. The menu is varied but not as extensive as 'local' curry houses but the karahi chicken and lamb with spinach were far better than most.

I live close to London and regularly visit Brick Lane, a place famous for it's Indian restaurants. I was introduced to Bukhara by my brother who lives in Lancashire and the food here is the best Indian I've ever eaten. There's a good choice of all foods and vegetarians are well catered for. The quality of the food is exceptional and is not too expensive. Can't wait to come again.

As a frequent diner I would struggle to provide a negative review of this excellent Indian restaurant. The staff are attentive but without being overwhelming, there to make sure you have all you require. Food is simply superb and offer great value for money. That's it, great food and excellent staff.

Saturday night visit, table for two. Ordered the mixed grill which is always a treat in most places but was to use the kindest term horrible here. Lamb Chops were fatty and under cooked, seekh kebabs clearly warmed from frozen possibly even processed and chicken kebabs looked under-cooked and tasted bland. The best thing about the starters were the chips! Seriously underwhelmed to the extent that we didn't bother with main course and left with a bill of almost £30.00 for two drinks, mixed grill and chips and three poppadoms. Very pricey considering the substandard food, never again.

Get out your car and you are greeted by the stench from the sewage treatment plant nearby. Poor ambience, crappy furniture.My wife felt really odd since she was the only female there not wearing a burka.Would have tolerated all that if thee food was good. And it was terrible!!

I visited Bukhara for the first time tonight. It was very clean, food quality was high and the staff were very friendly. You can order mild, medium and strong dishes. There is a wide choice of food you can order. I ordered the chicken Biryani and due to the generous portion size, I've brought some home to enjoy! Also, it caters for vegetarians and can be hired for events. As an added bonus, there is free parking outside of the premise. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
