We decided to check out this spot during our trip despite the detour. Worth it! Food was better than we expected , Korma Chop was delicious. If you're curious about Uyghur food, definitely stop by.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Only addition: I do feel like Kabab noodle needs a bit more sauce, but the Kabab was exceptional.

First time trying this, wonderful experience, looking forward to eating here again! Tried the #3 lamb korma (delicious!), Samsa (outstanding!), beef kebab cold noodles (outstanding, way better than I expected) and lamb kebabs (wife said “best lamb I’ve ever had!”). 10/10.

I ordered the oven baked buns from Kamils and they were absolutely delicious! The filling of minced beef, onion, black pepper, and red pepper was so flavorful—it’s one of my favorite combinations. Baking them first made the outside extra crispy, which I loved. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing experience at Kamil’s Uyghur Cuisine! The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor! Kamil, the owner, was incredibly friendly too! I was even able to speak with him in Kazakh, which made the visit extra special!

Our friend took us here for the best hand pulled noodles in town and it was delicious! Chewy springy noodles stir fried in the wok with amazing flavour and balance. The lamb bun was super juicy and tastes like grilled cumin lamb skewers inside a juicy bun that is both chewy and crispy from pan frying the bottom. The owner Kamil is very friendly and enjoys his craft

The atmosphere is one of a tiny strip mall food court, but the quality of the food is very good with Real Rice Noodles, and high quality ingredients. This place has a huge crowd of lunch regulars.

After 6 long years we got to taste authentic Halal Chinese cuisine! Just like the one we tasted in China. The owner’s super nice and we were drooling while waiting for food just smelling the aroma from kitchen inside! Perfectly balanced with slight tanginess and thick hand pulled noodles, portions were huge!Will be back soon for sure!
