A brilliantly warm, family-run living room of a restaurant serving spectacular, deeply comforting, and fiercely authentic Uyghur cuisine.
Ordering Strategy
Rally a group of friends so you can tackle the legendary 'Big Plate Chicken' alongside a spread of cumin-crusted lamb skewers and dumplings. Solo diners should grab a hearty bowl of hand-pulled leghmen noodles.
What to order
Lamb Cumin Skewers
Tender, fatty, and heavily dusted with a smoky, tingly crust of cumin and chili powder.
Da Pan Ji (Big Plate Chicken)
The legendary sharing centerpiece: a colossal, spicy, Sichuan-peppercorn laced chicken and potato stew atop thick hand-pulled noodles.
Ququre (Chochure) Soup
Slippery, wonton-like lamb dumplings swimming in a lively, fortifying broth reddened by tomato and spiked with pepper.

Good to know
It's entirely Halal and famously BYOB (with a nearby off-license), making it an incredible value. Book ahead as the tiny dining room fills up fast, and note that cash is often preferred.
