“Food was beautifully presented and the taste was truly amazing.”

We went here for a family dinner (8 adults!) and honestly… we were not prepared for what was about to come out. The lamb leg is the star of the show and I don’t say that lightly. It came out looking incredible and tasted even better. Super tender, full of flavour, perfectly seasoned, and just the kind of dish that feels both comforting and indulgent at the same time. We kept going back for more… and somehow, even with 8 of us, we still couldn’t finish it. That should tell you everything you need to know. If you go here, don’t even think twice, you need to order the lamb leg. It’s one of thos

Great spot just off the motorway – perfect stop on our way back from the Lakes. The Chilman biryani was the star of the show, really unique and unlike anything I’ve had elsewhere. The chicken karahi was full of flavour, and the mango salad was a refreshing twist. Service was friendly and efficient. We sat downstairs since it was a quiet weekday – it’s fine, but upstairs has a nicer vibe. Overall, definitely worth a visit!

Really tasty curries; chicken perfectly cooked. Great naan. The best curry I remember having in a long time. We had methi chicken and akhbari chicken masala - both really tasty

Didn't make a booking as we were arriving early before the evening rush. We were allocated our preferred window table. Opted for mostly veggie options for starters and mains plus the grilled sesame and chilli king prawns. It was delicious as expected. Ordered too much as usual but we had it packed up. Tried a few mocktails; the virgin mojito was spot on but the blue lagoon not so much...maybe because it wasn't served as advertised in a cold jar! The service was attentive and welcoming throughout. Bukhara remains a classic gem and I'm glad it is still going strong today. Look forward to our
