| - The Charcoal Kebab House is located just East of Scarborough General Hospital and McCowan Road, tucked away in a tiny non descript plaza on the North side of the street, but it's worth a visit. The noodles are very special made by the owners who are Uyghurs and where noodles were a staple long before the Italians made it their own. Uyghurs come from an Autonomous Region of China that borders, India, East Turkistan, Mongolia and Tibet. http://uyghuramerican.org/about-uyghurs. The cooking is more Persian but different and unique in Toronto. This restaurant would be a good fit in any of the cultural hot spots of Toronto such as Korea town, or Queen St. W, in Parkdale.
Their food is home cooking in the Uyghurs tradition with an emphasis on lamb and charcoal cooking. The best dishes are the ones with the hand made fresh noodles made by Buhachan who is the co owner along with her husband Avi. The flavours are a mixture of Middle Eastern with Asian influences. We highly recommend the Uygher Somen and the Langman, lots of noodles and cumin and hot peppers, along with an abundance of fresh vegetables. .. The aromas are intoxicating when your plate arrives!
Look past the red roses on the table and ask the owners Avi or Buhachan (also known as Brigitte) what they recommend to eat. They are expecting a liquor license shortly.
If you love lamb, this is the place, and if lamb is not your meat of preference, order chicken. Other than charcoal shrimp which was overcooked we recommend any dish with thehand made noodles.
