This was a recommendation from a friend and it came with a history lesson that the Uyghur people that represent this cuisine are descendents of the individuals from the silk road that gave Marco Polo his first tastes of pasta.
I will tell you that it is located in a strip plaza and has a quaint little ambience. The sounds and smells from the kitchen add to the experience. The menu is simple and is presented with pictures.
While I waited for my meal i enjoyed some tea which had to steep for 15 minutes.
l ordered the lamb and chicken skewers as they are a staple on the menu and came highly recommended. It was good and eating it with the naan is incredible. You can taste the cumin and other spices as they came through. The chicken was so soft and tender it was my preferred choice.
Uyghur Somen a dish that is made with a short noodle with veal and peppers, cilantro, string beans, tomatoes and other fresh vegetables. The broth was hearty, earthy and flavourful there was something familiar yet new about the taste. The spices were hot but you couldn't taste it on the front end, it blended nicely and complemented the overall flavour.
You can tell if this was Marco' s first experience to pasta how it was the inspiration for what the world knows today.
A really excellent experience, while the food isn't fast, that's one of the redeeming qualities as everything is fresh. I will definitely be coming back.
