That perfectly spiced chicken tikka masala is the most popular entree for delivery, he added. He and his family are thrilled to make them.

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. 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. Then COVID hit, and in lockdown, with no cooking skills, I needed takeout. Some longtime regulars assumed the place went out of business, or didn’t seek it out in its new spot.

In 2019, the beloved restaurant moved from its home of about 20 years on Centre Street to Washington Street in Forest Hills.
