About The Company
Bukhara Grill was established by Raja Jhanjee, Vicky Vij and Master Chef/Partner Bachan Rawat in September 1999. Vij and Jhanjee, long-time friends, worked together at Bukhara located at the Mauyra Sheraton in India. They always shared a dream to open their own restaurant some day. The dream turned into a reality in New York. In September 1999, they brought "Dal Bukhara" to the United States. Since then, Bukhara Grill has offered New York a new dining experience with flavors of the long-forgotten Northwest frontiers of India. Bukhara Grill offers a very spacious and rustic yet highly sophisticated interior, with an old-fashioned stone wall finish. Hand-woven Persian carpets are elegantly draped from the ceilings and the atmosphere as a whole satisfies the yearnings of a mind bent toward whimsical creativity. A passionate team of servers and chefs, who believe in absolute perfection, help to enhance your dining experience. They seek a higher degree of satisfaction, and create a true feast for all five senses. Handpick the succulent kababs, drenched in flavorful Indian spices. Bukhara Grill offers some of New York City's best cuisine, The Unique Motif includes imported stoneware; cup and utensils from India; wooden menus; and wooden-hinged bottles housing the wine list.
