Bukhara (ITC Maurya)
बुखारा
A legendary tandoori restaurant at the ITC Maurya hotel, famous for its slow-cooked black lentils and whole roasted leg of lamb, where eating with your hands is encouraged.
Located inside the ITC Maurya hotel on Sardar Patel Marg, Bukhara is one of Delhi's most renowned high-end tandoori restaurants. Its signature dishes include Dal Bukhara (black lentils slow-cooked over charcoal), Sikandari Raan (a whole leg of lamb marinated overnight and roasted in a tandoor), as well as tandoori prawns and roasted chicken. The rustic interior features clay bricks and wooden beams. Diners are given aprons instead of cutlery, as eating with your hands is highly encouraged. A meal for two starts at around INR 8,000 (excluding tax and alcohol). Reservations are strongly recommended, especially for dinner and weekends. Some diners have reported a dining time limit of approximately 90 minutes. Located in the diplomatic enclave, taking a taxi is the best way to get there.
