I work in a restaurant. My employer told me I have to buy a uniform out of my wages and pay for it to be cleaned every week. This will bring my basic wage below minimum wage level. Can he do this?

No. Your employer cannot reduce your earnings below minimum wage by making you buy uniforms and pay for the cleaning.
