BUKHARA INDIAN BISTRO
Bukhara Indian Bistro in Jamaica Plain was already dealing with an uncomfortable transition. In 2019, the beloved restaurant moved from its home of about 20 years on Centre Street to Washington Street in Forest Hills. Some longtime regulars assumed the place went out of business, or didn’t seek it out in its new spot. Out of sight, out of mind. I was one of those regulars. Then COVID hit, and in lockdown, with no cooking skills, I needed takeout. Food that would soothe my anxious soul. Bukhara was the first restaurant that crossed my mind, and I’ve been getting my favorite chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, and aloo mutter at least twice a month since April 2020. Jaswinder Pabla, a manager of the family business, said it had been difficult to get the word out that Bukhara was less than a mile away from its old digs, still making the food people loved. Then everything shut down. Now, takeout has picked up, and more people like me are reaching out for comfort dishes. He and his family are thrilled to make them. That perfectly spiced chicken tikka masala is the most popular entree for delivery, he added. The other night, I treated a special companion to my favorites. It was warm enough to eat outside (in coats) on my tiny lawn, and we were kept toasty by stuffed naan that went well with some canned rosé I happened to have in the fridge. It felt celebratory — like we were getting to a better place. Pabla says patio seating is coming, and I can’t wait to be there in person.
