Perhaps you haven’t heard about New Delhi’s Bukhara Restaurant. It’s considered by many food critics to be one of the 50 best restaurants in the world, as well as the best restaurant in Asia. Since it opened its doors in 1977, it has garnered enthusiastic fans worldwide, including luminaries such as former President Bill Clinton and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Then the Bukhara Grill opened in Manhattan in 1999. Customers who walked in the door saw the New Delhi restaurant’s familiar logos, decor, staff uniforms, wood-slab menus and red-checkered customer bibs.
