INDIAN SUPPER

Another scorcher in Cape Town yesterday and we had the bright idea to go to Bukhara for dinner last night. I have heard so many wonderful things about this restaurant over the years so when my mom's birthday came up, it manifested as the perfect reason to give it a go.

After much discussion we decided to have a taste of everything but consensus ruled that we not have too much of the hot stuff.

For Starters we had the Chicken Tikka and Tandoori Mushroom. I was completely blown away by the Chicken Tikka. Perfectly moist chicken breasts that I wish I knew how to prepare myself and the combination of spices was lovely. The mushrooms were too confusing, not really my taste as I couldn't determine whether it was a sweet or savoury dish. 

Mains we ordered Lamb Rogan Josh, Prawn Curry and Chicken Vindaloo. Not the most imaginative of choices but it was not my party so I had to go along with the majority at the table. Together with 4 massive garlic naan breads (the best I have ever seen) and a small serving of rice, even my brother, who's known to be a very fussy 10-year old when it comes to food, was licking his lips and fingers.

All in all, a very pleasant experience. Price wise a bit costly but when you look around and appreciate the decor and finishings of the restaurant, it makes sense. I was impressed but value for money; I reserve judgment.

NB: take a torch or small pocket flashlight with you to the bathrooms; it's so dark in there you might take a wrong turn and end up in the kitchens.
