The Original Bukhara Grill : Indian Spice Rave & Catering (By Raja Jhanjee)

Person on call for the ridgewood branch is very rude and unprofessional.

We have been coming here for years. Best Indian food hands down and the best service. The owner treats us like family!

Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without our incredible caterer, Bukhara Grill! From start to finish, they delivered above and beyond in every way possible—flavor, presentation, variety, and service. Not only did they masterfully serve up rich, authentic Indian cuisine, but they also seamlessly incorporated a delicious Italian menu to make sure our non-Indian guests felt just as included and catered to.

The Indian food was absolutely phenomenal—flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. Every item was cooked to perfection and served with care, capturing the essence of traditional cuisine in a way that felt both comforting and elevated.

What truly set them apart, though, was how perfectly they balanced two very different culinary traditions. The Italian offerings were just as impressive and thoughtfully curated, ensuring every guest, regardless of background or dietary preference, had something to enjoy and rave about.

Their team was also a dream to work with—professional, and organized. They listened carefully to our needs, accommodated every detail and dietary request, and ensured the food service ran smoothly throughout each event.

It’s not easy to please a crowd with mixed tastes, but this caterer nailed it. We received so many compliments from both sides of the family—Indian and non-Indian—about how inclusive and satisfying the meal was.

Thank you for making our wedding feel so warm, welcoming, and so delicious. You truly helped bring everyone together through food, and we couldn’t have asked for more!

Beetroot kabab was yumm & excellent. Paneer was dry & too much for two people. They should’ve inform us that its gonna be too much for two people in quantity, once after we told them we are visiting first time & we asked them for recommendations. Otherwise services was good.

the manager lied to me, supposedly. It will be ready in 5 minutes, but I waited 40 minutes, lost my tip and got a bad rating. You don't have to carry out what you do in your country. And you MUST respect the work of other people.

Literally everything was amazing! We ordered a bunch of apps and entrees to split and I wish we could have tried more. The service was amazing, such kind & helpful people.

We worked with Akshay and his team for our wedding in April and couldn’t be happier! Akshay and his team were phenomenal to work with from our first tasting through our wedding and reception. Akshay went above and beyond and it clearly showed. The quality, presentation and flavors were unmatched. We received countless compliments on the food. We really appreciated how Akshay remembered specific dishes that our parents were looking forward to, and made sure they had a chance to try it.

We had a fabulous lunch at Bukhara Grill. Each and every thing we ordered was delicious, but the Dal Bukhara, Galouti kabab and Adrak wala Chaap were simply divine.

Giving overall 2 stars considering the ambience only. This restaurant closes at 3, and we were at the venue by 2 pm. It was a walk-in with no appointment made. We were received by the server Edvan saying we arrived late, and he literally made us rush to order. Which doesn't seemed welcoming for a fine dine restaurant.
Our order included the Veg appetizers and Entrees. Subz seekh kabab - wasn't fully baked. Dahi Aloo papri - hardly had aloo element and was too sweet. It was highly disappointing. Rather it did set our expectations on what to expect. Kadai paneer was a let down too. Mirchi baingan was suggested by the server and was decent. Definitely with no wow factor. Highly priced entrees. Overall a let down!!!

Dined here recently, not a good place to dine since the servers were rude and rushed, very bad quality food. Dal Bhukara supposed to be their signature dish that lacked flavors. Very disappointing. Poor quality food and service. Not a welcoming environment at all.

Amazing meal.

We were very disappointed with our recent experience with Bukhara Grill Catering. We received a green sauce with our dinner that was spoiled—it had visible mold and a terrible odor. When I called the restaurant to inform them, I was surprised by the complete lack of concern. They didn’t seem to believe us, though it was impossible this had happened. Given the high expectations we had for their quality, this was a very disappointing and frustrating experience. I hope they take customer feedback more seriously in the future.

Food was pretty good and worth 4 stars but the service was so bad. They forgot our drinks order. Then it took almost an hour for our food to come out. When we finally asked, our waiter said they were waiting to finish our mixed grill before bringing everything out…. We didn’t ask for it to all be brought out together and we were starving by then, and also managing a hangry toddler. Then it took forever to pay our bill… horrible service.

I worked with the team at Bukhara to cater at my residence for a party of 20 people. Akshay worked with me to arrange the menu and was very helpful. The day of the party Chef Lorence, Aman and Roni came and arranged everything perfectly and made sure the party went perfectly. Thank you guys for the help. Will contact you for my next event.
