Good 👍
This is the first uyghur restaurant in Montreal.
Great place for handmade laghman noodles and other Central Asian food.

Finally! A proper Uyghur restaurant in Montreal!
I had been missing guiru lagman for months since my trip to Central Asia, and Le Taklamakan brought back memories of some of the best Uyghur food I tried there.
Both versions of lagman - guiru and suiru - were amazing. Properly hand-stretched noodles, flavourful meat, and perfectly cooked vegetables. The pilaf (plov) was also excellent and tasted just like a comforting home-cooked meal.
Definitely 5 stars for the food....read full review

Le Taklamakan is a hidden gem serving amazing Uighur cuisine. The tender lamb and lamb BBQ dishes are filled with flavor and complemented by the fragrant cumin. The steam dumplings (manti) and fried noodles are standouts, bursting with juice and packed with savory onion. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making it feel like home. Authentic and delicious, Le Taklamakan is a must-try for those seeking a unique Chinese food experience.
The portions are generous, the price is affordable, and the taste is good. The large plate of chicken, naan buns, and mutton skewers are all must-orders. The owner is accommodating, and the Dapanji (Big Plate Chicken) is a highlight, with the naan being soft and flavorful. While the menu doesn't offer a wide variety of dishes, each one is a specialty from the Taklamakan region, making it a great choice for those interested in this culture's cuisine.
