I love Indian food, and the go-to place in Cape Town is BUKHARA, located in the Central Business District of Cape Town City. There are other locations, too, but this is its elegant, yet comfortable flagship. The specialty here: tandoori and curries. We dined on the restaurant’s second floor porch on a balmy night and actually had three orders of Naan bread (Joanne just doesn’t know when to stop) before the tandoori chicken. No dessert (In the words of Calvin Trillin, “All Indian desserts have the texture of face cream.”)
