The food was excellent and clearly reflects authentic Uyghur cuisine. The service was good, and I highly recommend the Mongolian beef steak. The sauce was outstanding. P.S. You can count my 5 ⭐️ as two since I was not alone and my brother agrees with me.😆

Fabulous food! We had the Samsa and the Ughyur pilaf which was probably one of the best beef dishes I’ve ever had. Seasoned and flavorful without being spicy. We also tried the tea that they were very proud of which was good and even better with a little extra sugar. We ended with the Dolan cake which was almost like an almond biscotti. Crumbly and delicious. The decor is beautiful and interesting. Our waitress was very attentive, and made recommendations. A truly unique experience, even if it’s in a strip mall!

Everything is good except the service,the beginning is very good, when we wanna pay, then we pay with card, we wanna give tips for cash, omg, we click no tips on the machine, me and my friends said two times we will give cash, the service said no I already service you guys, but what you mean! In this situation, I can give you zero, but we still give tips. Never come back.

Went out with some friends, and the food was delicious. They also had a musician singing which added a nice twist to the atmosphere. The restaurant’s design and style is unique. They do have spicy food;which is different than what we are used to. The spices add a great heat to the meal that I highly recommend. The staff was friendly, the one thing it took a long time to find someone to get us the check. The owner/manager was very interested in our experience which was amazing.
