Dolan Uyghur Restaurant

Excellent restaurant! We had lunch - ordered the royal laghman and the lamb pie, plus the honey cake and a pudding - and everything was delicious. Our waitress was also excellent, very welcoming and knew her stuff.

this place is SO AMAZING! the serving staff was very attentive, it’s in a great convenient location right next to the metro, the restaurant is decorated so beautifully, and the food was jaw droppingly good. we made a reservation for three and shared plates, and our favorites were the chicken uyghur pilaf, the spring rolls, and the sour & spicy potatoes. definitely make sure to visit this spot!

Unusual cuisine but in a good sense. Tasty.
The place is very small and wait is pretty long. But worth it for the experience

I’m from Colombia, and as a true coffee taster I can say that the coffee at Dolan truly surprised me and made me feel at home again. I paired it with a delicious lentil soup and a mozzarella bread — the best combination for cold weather. Their food and the hospitality of their servers made me feel very comfortable! Thanks Diana for your recommendation!!

We had a change of plans yesterday and ended up arriving an hour earlier than our reservation. Even though the restaurant was overbooked, the host was super nice and managed to fit us in. We had really high expectations based on the reviews, and everything was delicious. The music and décor were amazing too — the whole place felt cozy and romantic. ✨

I had a great experience at Dolan—everything was delicious! I really enjoyed my Small Big Plate Chicken and my lamb kebab. I had never tried lamb before, and it was amazing.
I’m very grateful to the hostess because I accidentally made a reservation for Falls Church, thinking it was the Washington, D.C. location. When we arrived, we didn’t actually have a reservation, but she kindly helped us find a spot for our celebration.
Thank you so much for your help and for making sure we had everything we needed.👍🏻👍🏻

Given the price-per-dish, some of the worst asian food I've had in the DMV area.

Bad:
- The cold skin noodles were dry and the sauce was unpalatable and without any flavor.
- The Chili chicken was lazy and flavorless, just a breast of steamed chicken tossed in some sauce and chilis
- The Big Plate Chicken lacked flavor and was severely overpriced for what it was.

Good:
- The fresh noodles were springy and nice
- The eggplant dish was good
- The dumplings were nice

Maybe I ordered wrong, but when you're charging $60 for a plate of stewed chicken legs, it needs to actually taste like something other than a generic brown stew.
