This naan landed like a UFO at our table the other night at Bukhara. We came out here to get a taste of the "fourteenth best restaurant in the world..." and we got that and an alien experience. The naan was enormous - great fun for the whole family - and the only disadvantage was that it cooled off quickly so you had to eat fast. But that wasn't much of a problem since the food was absolutely delicious. From creamy dal makhani to an incredible spiced lamb dish and chicken kebab with a mint chutney, the overall effect was outstanding. And gulab jamun for dessert... I almost fell off my cushioned footstool. I loved the atmosphere - copper cups and low lighting that made you feel you were in a medieval banquet hall. The posh restaurant definitely took me out of my element and into another dimension. Which is impossible because their promotion line is: "Arguably the finest Indian cuisine on Planet Earth."
