Ordering Strategy

Come with a group to share the massive 'Big Plate Chicken' (Tohu Qordaq), and order plenty of dumplings (Pitir Manta) and Samsa pastries to start.

What to order

Safe first

Pitir Manta

Described as 'phenomenally good' packages of glistening goodness, these steamed lamb dumplings are adroitly crimped by an expert hand and served with an addictive vinegary chilli sauce.

Hungry

Tohu Qodaq (Big Chicken Plate)

A humongous dish of chicken and handmade pasta where the chef masterfully balances the 'lip-numbing effect' of Sichuan pepper with a distinct depth of flavor.

Wildcard

Samsa

These Uzbeki-inspired flaky meat pies are an 'experience in itself.' They are radiantly golden brown, ultra light, and filled with a rich, aromatic minced lamb seasoned with cumin.

Wildcard

Pilaf

Recommended in the Vittles Chinatown guide as a standout order from the menu.

What to skip

Skip
Uyghur Kawap Skewer— Reviewers found these skewers to be 'avoidable' due to being relatively tough, chewy, and oddly marinated in a dry rub that lacks depth.

Good to know

The restaurant is fully halal (HMC sourced) and does not serve alcohol. The dining room is small and intimate, so booking ahead is advised. Be prepared to eat noodles with Western cutlery as chopsticks are generally not provided.
