Airport Bukhara

Just save yourself and stay away!
They don’t even deserve 1 star.
We used them as our wedding caterers… all was good until the day of the wedding.
We were horribly disappointed. The food came 2 hours LATE from what we agreed and it didn’t come all together — another thing we had specifically requested. — They claimed their truck wasn’t big enough to carry all the food, but that was nonsense, I’m pretty sure their kitchen just wasn’t big enough and they weren’t honest with us in advance.
The service was just a nightmare, really ruined the evening, and we were so disappointed with the lack of respect and amount of apathy we received because of their tardiness. Not to mention, along with this mess, they didn’t even bring the appetizers we had ordered, they gave us other crap instead. They demanded we paid in full right then or there, or would get the authorities involved… Just a mess and no apology.
I would never recommend dealing with these guys for catering an event. I have no respect for them, which sucks because I actually did like their food and the OWNERS up until they screwed up my wedding reception — Some of our out of town guests had flights to catch and missed out on dinner… just horrible. ALSO a hand full of our guests got really sick from their butter chicken.
FALSE PROMISES AND A MASSIVE DISAPPOINTMENT.

I posted a review last week but on visiting for the second time since then, the food and service were the same but the price for lunch was higher than last week by 20%. But here’s where it got interesting.
When we asked why were charged $ 11.99 we were given a stuttered and uncertain reply. First it was «The price is 9.99 per person plus gratuity and tax» (their website says $ 8.99 but there was a sign posted indicating that prices went up on May 1^st. And the tax was a separate line item on the check). When challenged that $ 9.99 times 2 plus HST does NOT equal $ 27, then the answer became that he’s new and unsure how the system tallies things.
We wanted to confirm the new price of lunch was $ 9.99. He confirmed. Then we worked it up from there to $ 22.58, not $ 27.10. He then printed out the check to reveal the price was $ 11.99 (again, one week earlier it was $ 9.99, the new higher price, and $ 9.99 was the price he just confirmed). So why $ 11.99? Why were we not able to get a simple answer to that? Why were we told the price was $ 9.99 when we just asked, only to be billed $ 11.99, then told «Oh yes, the price is $ 11.99»?
Something was amiss. I can speculate, but I won’t. I really hope that it was a mistake that was clumsily mishandled, but suffice it to say that we felt we were mistreated in the exchange and that leaves a sour taste in our mouths that overrides all else.

Yum yum ! The food was really delicious and fresh. The service was wonderful and the place clean. The look of the place was what one might expect from a strip mall restaurant but what it lacked in its esthetic charm was made up for by its warm and friendly family of proprietors.

One of the best Indian restaurants I have ever been to.
Food — ⁵⁄₅.
Service — ⁵⁄₅.
I’ve seen the same server there many times before and he is amazing, so full of energy & has good customer service skills. Even though he works hard, he never has a negative look on his face & it is very welcoming.
The interior is very nice as well. Very nicely decorated and the table organization is nice and private so you don’t have to stare at other people while eating or bump into someone while getting out of your chair.
I agree with some of the other reviews, the selection isn’t as big as other restaurants I’ve been to before but quality matters more than quantity.
Overall I highly recommend this restaurant as the food is amazing, service is amazing, and the price is a plus!

Sad to see Airport Bukhara has bad reviews. I’ve been here many times and only had great experiences. The selection isn’t huge but this has improved over the years and the price is unbeatable. They may have the best butter chicken that I’ve had and I like that they bring the naan fresh to your table. Also, they always leave a water pitcher which is especially helpful for me with spicy food!
In regards to the bad catering review here, I should note for what it’s worth that I used to work for an event venue that once had Airport Bukhara as their caterer for a 2 day event. They were on time those days and the client seemed happy with their work.

Stay away! My husband and I went in for a Friday night dinner and ended up stale food and an upset stomach. I even requested that they remove the very stale dal makhni from the buffet because it wasn’t even bordering on edible anymore. The waiter apologised and told the manager who did nothing about it. Please save yourself the food poisoning — go elsewhere!

Food is about average. They have a good selection of meat and veggie options. I recommend their samosas and butter chicken. Stay away from the tandoori as it’s just bad. Cold and dry. They also provide fresh naan which is nice. Lunch is $ 10 which is very cheap for a buffet so you can’t really go wrong with trying this place at least once.
Would come back since its cheap.

Went there. Food is okay. Waaayyyy too creamy and the only good things are naans. The fried fish was very greasy, the tandoori chicken was cold and rubber like. On top of that they added some 4.50 convince free or something and automatic tip of 15% for crappy service and food. Wouldn’t go there again. 1 star is only for the naans that’s it.

I’m sure there are better Indian restaurants around, but I’ve always had a soft spot for Indian buffets.
Airport Bhukara is one of the only Indian buffets you’ll find around the Airport. Though not as grand as Tandoori Flame, it definitely is more cozy and is most similar to the Indian buffets you’ll see across Scarborough. The place itself is rather small, but very clean and nice on the inside.
They have a nice mix of vegetarian and non-​vegetarian options. They also have a salad bar, ice cream, and dessert to go along with the whole buffet experience. Your meal is also supplemented with naan as well. Now I’ll be honest, I barely touched the vegetarian curries and stews as almost all my focus was on the meat. They had goat curry, butter chicken, chicken korma, tandoori chicken, and fish pakora. All the meats were very good (minus the Tandoori Chicken which was overly dry and bland), which warrants a stamp of approval from me. Rice and samosas were available and are the perfect complement to the meal.
The desserts were decent enough. With mashed carrots, and gulab jamin, there was plenty to be happy about. They had other desserts as well, but I don’t recall much about them. The ice cream is standard buffet ice cream.
The going rate for lunch is $ 9.99, which is cheap as hell considering the quality and variety of the food. The place is located one plaza over from Sweet India, so if you’re REALLY hungry, you could opt with going here.
