One of the best restaurants i’ve been to. The food here is amazing you won’t regret coming here. The young lady who served... us was extremely nice and recommend us to try the best dishes. The manager here is also very welcoming and friendly. The ribkebab was my favourite dish. 10/10 must try!! Read more
I’ve been wanting to visit this place since ever I planned my trip to DC. All 4 meals we’ve ordered were so tasty and... filling.Our dine in and take out food was made in less than 10 minutes and was truly that taste of Uighur traditional cuisine. I also loved the tea with honey. The restaurant is cozy and clean.The staff and the manager were very welcoming. I was allowedto take a peek at the second floor that was closed at that moment, and I loved all the hand made art on the walls. Will comeback again. UPD:Added more pics Read more
Delicious Uyghur cuisine and great service. The Royal Laghman was so good, chewy hand-pulled noodles in a light savory broth--it... was definitely comfort food. The kebabs were amazing as well! Read more
We had great experience of trying Uyghur cuisine. The waiter was very welcoming and helpful with the dishes selection. The food... was delicious. Definitely looking forward to going back on our next trip to Washington, DC. Read more
The food tastes all right and I completely get it when people say they are delicious and special. However, having been to... Xinjiang myself, I know it is not quite that authentic. There dishes rely somewhat too much on the sauces (and the red bellpeppers), which often provides a sweet/sour flavor that covers the original flavor of the ingredients. Even if you only know abit about Middle Eastern food, you know they don't make these complicated meshed-up dishes. The service was not good. We wentto there in late Jan., and I don't know why they didn't turn the heat up. We all felt cold inside and the food went cold prettyquickly. This is bad for kebabs. The waiter/waitress are impassionate. This is less of their attitude but more of their lack ofexperiences/not being comfortable working in the hospitality industry. They came too early for orders and for checks. Read more
Overall, the quality of the food was not impressive. Every dish we ordered was good, but it was like there could be something to... be improved with it. The veggies included in the pearled noodle dish didn’t seem to match so well, the lamb kebab seemed to bea little overcooked, and the pumpkin dumplings were definitely just square cuts of butternut squash in a dumpling wrapper. Thedessert also didn’t taste super fresh. Service was very slow as well, even though they were not very busy in terms of therestaurant itself being packed. It was good but I wouldn’t come back just because none of the dishes stood out and tastedprettty average. Read more
Charming little restaurant with very delicious food and attentive service. Large portion sizes and unusual dishes you won't have... tried elsewhere. The pumpkin steamed buns (kawa manta) were divine! Parking can be tricky, but it is right next to the ClevelandPark metro stop. Read more
