"Among the gothic architecture and shiny new builds of the City, you’ll find Karamay. The Uyghur restaurant mixes the fiery flavours of the north western Chinese cuisine with a slick, big-windowed space that looks out on the busy worker bees wandering the streets below. If you’re coming for a quick lunch, then a plate of hand-pulled stir-fried noodles that sing with spice will do nicely. Otherwise, if there are a few of you sharing, a steaming big plate chicken, some sweet and savoury Uyghur pilaf rice, and a few green chilli-filled Chinese murgers are essential." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
