A homey, lantern-filled cocoon in Leytonstone where hand-pulled noodles are slurped against a backdrop of televised music videos.
Ordering Strategy
Prioritize the carb-heavy specialties (noodles, dumplings, plov) over the standard grills; solo diners can comfortably eat at the counter.
What to order
Uyghur Laghman
The restaurant's 'signature priority' featuring 'addictively chewy' hand-pulled noodles with the 'bounce of someone on their fourth espresso.' Critics suggest the beef version to 'soak up the aromatic peppery sauce.'
Traditional Uzbek Plov
A 'soulful' and 'unbelievable' staple of 'hearty' rice topped with 'soft kind of shredded lamb' that is served in 'generous portions' even hungry diners struggle to finish.
Manti
Meat parcels that are harder to stop eating 'than a Pringles session.' These 'chewy, bulbous' dumplings feature 'tender, steamed dough wrappers' that offer a 'meditative chewing' experience.
Crispy Aubergine Salad
A surprise 'highlight' and 'hidden gem' of the menu described as 'wow so crispy and fresh with a delicious dressing' by local diners.
