Uyghur and Kyrgyz, both devastating and improper scrabble words, got together on a plate and made a delicious fare in this humble excellent restaurant. I haven't had it all yet, and honestly may not get around to the whole menu for a while because the first meals have imprinted a craving in my being for them. It is impossible to deny that the portions are generous and the flavors are highly satisfying. The regular Lagman and the Bosa fried Lagman are equally good, flip a coin and enjoy. Also, no need to select between fried and steamed Manti, you can order a combo and again there is no difference in quality, so let your preferences guide you. Goulash is familiar but has a huge, pardon my ignorance, Chinese sense of flavor that adds a twist to the dish. Olivie Salad is a famously varied dish and their version is excellent with a mild combo of potato, beef, vegetables and mayo provide that light and cool but very substantial feel. My favorite surprize was the Ginger Lemon tea, served in a pot with long tea leaves and slices of the ginger and Lemon provided the secret ingredient for both cutting through the rich dishes and briefly but effectively defying the soporific effect of the bounty and let me eat more than usual and drive home without dozing off. The service was outstanding. The digs are modest but cozy. It is often crowded with people very familiar with the food and culture. So go.
