Absolutely loved this place! The authentic decor and wonderful staff made it so memorable. The food we had were beyond amazing. Highly recommend the laghman noodles, the goshnan & midye baklava. The lamb was cooked very well here.

Very unique food. They were out of the item I wanted on the menu. I'm not sure if the waitress was shy or rude. Overall a great place to

Food wasn’t as tasty as I expected it to be (I liked the lamb kobab though). The atmosphere was decent and the restaurant was clean. As for the service, they brought the foods several minutes from each other, which wasn’t OK.

Came here on a Saturday night, food was excellent but pricey for what it was. Maybe it's because I've been to many mom and pop spots in Queens NY with just as delicious food for half the price nevertheless its a great spot. Highlights include the soup, dumplings, and any of the hand pulled noodle dishes.

I love this little, authentic Uyghur restaurant in my neighborhood. They make Cleveland Park’s best coffee and have the friendliest waiters in DC, to my opinion. And the Uyghur cuisine is amazing! So tasty.
This has been my favorite restaurant for years. The food is always superb and I love coming here with family and friends. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive and go out of their way to make your experience special; I came here for my birthday with friends and they went above and beyond to make sure my friends and I had a great time. We'll definitely be back in the near future!

Came here for a friend’s birthday! 10/10 experience. Can’t wait to come back!
What a beautiful restaurant with a meaningful and important mission to educate how the Uyghur people are being treated in China. I went on MLK day in the afternoon and it was a quiet peaceful but cold day with not many other patrons. We were seated downstairs but asked if we could go upstairs, and it was really a nice space there where we were seated by the window and could see the snow coming down. I love the staircase that led to the top floor, and the decor of the whole restaurant was just really pretty and peaceful. It was tough deciding what to eat but we chose the samsa--reminded me of a samosa, although we opted the one with sweet potato inside. We also got the korma chop, fried noodles with chicken, and goshnan, a meat pie with beef and lamb. Baklava for dessert. The goshnan and the samsa were great! The korma chop tasted ok, but kind of bland. It seemed like it could have had more flavor to it somehow. But it was still tasty. I would love to come back here to try other dishes and support this cute restaurant. It would also be great to check out the one in Chantilly!

I had the Goshnan, and it was very nice! I recommend this place to sit and chat and enjoy with friends. We sat for so long because the environment was so comfortable.

Interesting food options that definitely a worth a try just for uniqueness - their spiced lamb chops were my favorite together with the flavored korma, but everything else was a bit underwhelming imo. The lamb kebab was very gamey and not very conducive to eat so do beware.
