Nurlan Uyghur Restaurant

The Best Uyghur Restaurants In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"Nurlan is a small spot located on busy Main Street in Flushing with some really spectacular food. The owners serve complimentary green tea as a start to the meal and it hits the spot before the food is brought out. It’s made with loose tea leaves that are fragrant with a good bitterness. The lamian (another word for lagman) stir-fried noodles with lamb are made fresh-to-order and have a chewy bite to them, and the dish itself is packed with savory juiciness from all the meat (if you like a little kick, make sure to order yours spicy). The polo—which is traditional Uyghur fried rice with lamb, carrots, and raisins—is super filling and a great thing to split along with a few tender chicken and lamb kebabs." - jiniya azad, tahirah baksh, sameen choudhry, molly fitzpatrick, neha talreja
