Bukhara Indian Bistro
3698 Washington StYummy Indian food.
They have really tasty burgers (including veggie and portabello), with interesting toppings. They do a "Beerger" Wednesday special, where you can get a burger, a craft beer, and fries for $11 or $12.
They've also recently opened a second location just blocks from our place (and across from the Forest Hills T station).
