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

Had an amazing Sunday afternoon buffet at Bukhara Grill: Indian Spice Rave & Catering in Ridgewood, New Jersey! The spread was generous, fresh, and full of authentic Indian flavors. Every dish was perfectly spiced, rich, and comforting—exactly what you want from a proper Indian buffet. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, the staff was attentive and friendly, and everything was well-organized and clean. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxed Sunday lunch with family or friends. If you’re craving quality Indian food with great variety, this Sunday buffet is a must-try. Highly recommend! 🌟🍛

This place was awesome! Definitely a hidden gem in Ridgewood. Beautifully decorated interior and peaceful ambiance. I went with 2 of my friends and we had the butter chicken with rice and garlic naan. This was my second time having authentic butter chicken that wasn’t the frozen Trader Joe’s meal and it didn’t disappoint. Better than Turmeric Bistro in Ridgewood in my opinion. The sauce had great flavor and dunking the garlic naan in it was a game changer. Buttery and garlicky, what more could you ask for! We also had amazing and accommodating service by our server Socorro. He introduced us to an Indian dessert called Gulab Jamun which was also really tasty. It’s sort of like warm donuts/dumplings soaked in sugar/honey. Will definitely be returning here and asking for Socorro!

We drove 45 minutes for date night because we had a great experience at their NYC location, but this place was a big disappointment. We ordered two appetizers and water. I asked for sparkling water but got still water and didn’t make an issue of it. When the soya malai tikka arrived, it smelled awful—almost like a cleaning chemical—and tasted just as bad. We sent it back. Instead of addressing the issue, the server brushed it off as “masala smell” and didn’t offer a replacement. Poor service and very disappointing overall. Wouldn’t recommend this location.

We had a wonderful date night at Bukhara Grill! The service was warm and attentive, making us feel welcome throughout the evening. The food, as always, was absolutely delicious—full of flavor and perfectly prepared. Every bite was a delight, and we can’t wait to come back! Beyond their amazing food and service, Bukhara Grill does so much for the community. They provide free meals to those in need and support many charitable initiatives, especially during these tough times. A heartfelt thanks to Raja Jhanjee and Akshay Jhanjee for their incredible support and dedication to helping others. Highly recommend not just for the food, but for the amazing hearts behind it!

When i went to this restaurant I had really good hopes cuz of the reviews, and people told me it was good. But when i ordered the food the chicken drumsticks were really chewy, but the butter chicken was the only good part for that dish. I’m a big biryani fan but also that wasn’t great, there was a lot of masalas (spices) in it which threw off the taste. The chicken tikka masala was the only good dish I liked because it tasted good and the chicken was tender. Honestly when I had the food I felt that was overpriced for the quality. Like don’t get me wrong $15 for most of the starters and $24+ for the Entrees is a bit too much if the food isn’t good. Some restaurants are a little cheaper but the quality of the food is amazing. I say its worth a visit but don’t get your hopes up too much. T
