Bukhara Bistro - Yummy Indian Food

Twice, within three days, I had the pleasure of dining on food from Bukhara Bistro, located on Centre Street in Jamaica Plain. This Indian food is just superb. The first meal was takeout. We had samosas, chicken saag, chicken korma, and a lamb dish that I didn't try. Naturally, it came with delicious jasmine rice. The rice was cooked perfectly, and was not mushy at all. Each grain was separated from the rest, you know? The chicken saag was quite spicy, and the chicken was very tender. The korma had a great rich flavor, and the chicken here was tender as well. I love it when you don't need a knife to cut the chicken - it cuts easily with a fork. The samosas were filled with potatoes and peas, and came with that delicious sweet sauce. Overall, a filling, tasty meal.

A couple of days later, I was at the Wake up the Earth festival in JP and was starving. They had tons of food vendors set up and I could have chosen from a number of good burrito places, but it was Cinco de Maio and I was going out for Mexican that night. Then, I smelled the wonderful scent of curry and headed immediately to the Bukhara booth. For $8, I got enough food to feed two people: rice, chicken saag and vegetable korma. Really, quite delicious. I can't say it enough. I've seen Bukhara at an arts and music festival in Cambridge as well. If you see them, definitely try their food. I will certainly go back to Bukhara. I've actually eaten in the restaurant, for lunch, and it was great as well.
