Jahunger Cambridge

Love the food, especially the original meefen. Very authentic. The lamb skewer is one of the best I have had. If you can tolerate some spice, definitely try 9their chicken stew.... The staffs are super friendly. Felt like I was dining with a group of friends with them around1. Wish them all all the best.

You have to try this restaurant if you are near MIT or Harvard or in Cambridge. The atmosphere was relaxed with unique decorations. We ordered Kavap and three other different noodles. The food was tasty and authentic and the service was very good. I didn’t realize that I left my credit card there until I was at the airport and called them. They not only kept my CC but also mailed it back to me immediately. I am so grateful for their service and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who’s visiting that area.

THE FOOD WAS AMAZING! Incredibly flavorful. For a party of 6 we ordered *Jahunger Noodle *Chicken Stew *Stir-fried beans *Handmade lamb dumpling *Stir-Fried Beans *Eggplant Laghman *Kavap (lamb) We devoured all of the food! What draws me to the foods is the balance of flavors and different food groups that are incorporated in each dish. I firmly believe we got the best of everything. I’m grateful for the kind service of our servers. The ambiance is warm - good for family and friends gathering! Thank you for blessing many people with such good food!!!

Excellent hand-pulled noodle restaurant, rare and hard to find in Boston. You can hear the chef (owner?) making the noodles from the kitchen, because you can hear the banging sound, the sound of slapping the noodles on the counter. Flavors are amazing, and everything is well seasoned. If you are feeling adventurous, beef tripe is amazing. Beef tripe is springy and slightly chewy, but not tough. Slightly spicy with lots of garlic, and perfectly stir-fried. Definitely returning again.

This place has single-handedly redeemed the Cambridge food scene. That's it. You need to go. Jahunger has an incredible lineup of dishes that keep me coming and trying new things. It's a cozy neighborhood place that hits all the right spots. They are consistently excellent, and you can tell that they put so much care and work into the food. The owners are truly focused on delivering an authentic experience. The staff are also very attentive and friendly. My favorites: Kevap - Insanely flavorful and tender lamb skewers Jahunger Noodles - Their signature dish for me. The noodle chew and quality is so unparalleled Lamb on Dry Land - A unique mix of lamb and bread stir fried together with amazing wok flavor Polo - Deeply rich and savory rice dish with lamb Honey Cake - Delicious combo of layers of sponge cake and a delectable frosting and comes with coffee ice cream too! Milk Beer - Like nothing I've ever had in a drink. Really rich and refreshing at the same time

We had a great lunch at Jahunger. If you are looking for good Central Asian food, this is the spot. We ordered the samsa as an appetizer, plov and laghman for our mains, and the honey cake for dessert. The service was speedy and friendly. It’s too bad there aren’t many Central Asian spots in Boston, but luckily this place is great. Hopefully they can get their liquor license soon!

Food was great. Ive tried this and silk road and I have gone to silk road a few times but it is a bit on the greasier side compared to jahunger. Food and service was great. My only comment is that they ran out of samsas and they have alcohol on the menu but serve no alcohol. Not a deal breaker but why have something on the menu you dont serve? Food was delicious I wish the noodles had a BIT more sauce but was delicious nonetheless. The Polo was also great! Im not a big sweets person but the honey cake (to share - its big) was delicious!

I absolutely love Uyghur food! The flavors are vibrant and bold, making every dish so different. If you enjoy spice, you will find the perfect kick in their meals. But what really sets this place apart is the hand-pulled noodles—they're simply fire! The texture and taste are unmatched and elevate the entire experience. If you're looking for delicious, flavorful, and spicy food, this is definitely the spot to visit! Highly recommend!

My family and I loved our experience at Jahunger! Unique cuisine, cozy atmosphere, friendly service. We ordered the scallion pancakes to start. Delightfully crispy. For the main course, I ordered the Meefen. It's a noodle-based dish with so much sauce it's almost stew-like. I am not complaining because the sauce was delicious. It's unlike anything I've tasted before so I'm not sure how to describe it. Quite spicy, which I loved. Only thing I wasn't a fan of was the chunks of raw celery, but I'm just not a celery girl. I also tried the Jahunger noodles and the Lagan Noodle. Both delicious! Also, per their menu, everything can be made vegan. Our only disappointment was that they don't have their liquor license yet. But that won't stop us from coming back!

I've been meaning to try this restaurant for so long so I'm glad we went. They specialize in Uyghur cuisine which Boston doesn't have a lot of. The service was honestly really fast, food came out quickly. Ambiance is cute too and it's located in Central Square, near the Hmart. We got lamb skewers, cucumbers, chicken stew, and jahunger noodles. The lamb skewers were solid but honestly a bit gamey and overpriced.. $14 for 3 skewers is crazy. Cucumbers were fantastic. Usually whenever I order cucumber dish it tastes the same but this had extra flavor. They seasoned the cucumbers so well and sauce was packed and spicy. Chicken stew was my favorite entree. The stew was huge first of all. Lots of broth which I liked. It had hand-pulled flat noodles and they were super chewy and great texture. The chicken was soft but had lots of small bones so you have to be careful. Lastly we got the Jahunger noodles because it seemed like their signature. These hand-pulled noodles are unique because they're really short and al dente. It was a bit more al dente than I'm used to with Asian noodles but I liked it. However the beef and the actual flavor of the noodles wasn't anything special. Overall I would go again because they have a lot on their menu I'd like to try. Also their menu is super aesthetically pleasing but impossible to navigate because it's so stiff LOL

Jahunger, Cambridge MA Second location of the Providence original, offering Uyghur cuisine typically found in the northwestern-most province of China. They call their culture "a unique blend of Central Asian influences." A bit of Middle Eastern too, but the more the merrier. If noodles are your thing, it's a must. Samsa: A pair of savory pastry dough vessels filled with fragrant ground lamb. Think of these as Asian knishes; I think of them as that and delicious. A little crunch to the shell, but also nicely chewy. I haven't had these anywhere else, so I can't compare, but I'd be surprised if these weren't elite. Scallion Pancake: A bit out of place on this menu but more than just a token offering for the timid. It checks all the boxes: thicker than average, crispy but not oily, thick but light, plenty scallions, and thick, dark dipping sauce. Near-elite to elite. Jahunger Noodles: I've had these several times in Providence and Cambridge, and they're the perfect first visit item to get a feel for the place. Hand-pulled, fresh, thick, dense, round noodles, with a protein you can customize. Not exceedingly spicy, but REALLY nice zesty flavor. Nice chewy texture to the noodles, which had a tagliatelle-meets-udon feel. Long strips of chive added some crunch and herbal punch. Laghman Noodles: More of those hand-pulled, fresh, thick, dense, round noodles that are a bit slippery, so maybe rethink that white cashmere sweater if eating these, cuz there gon' be some sauce a splashin'. Complemented with shredded beef in a slightly spicy sauce, a little on the thin side, so not as much cling as with their namesake Jahunger Noodles. Spicy Potatoes: Spiced very thin, served around room temperature, with a jicama-like texture and a sauce spicy as promised. A hint of sour, but less sour than the Sichuan version of potatoes like this. Very good. They've got a tiny parking lot shared with their neighboring businesses. Handy but very tight, so get there early and back your car in.

Tried this out for a delivery order. We got 2 noodle dishes, spicy eggplant in garlic sauce and scallion pancakes. Everything tasted really good. The noodles are nice and thick and chewy. I love that they are full of different veggies and meat and flavor. The jahunger noodles were a little too oniony for me with some raw red onion, but still tasted good. The scallion pancakes were really good. Good amount of scallions, crispy and still chewy too. I love the eggplant. They're spicy and soft with big pieces of peppers in it I thought the prices were relatively reasonable, esp for a delivery app. 4 dishes with delivery fees/tax/tip came out to a little less than $90. We had some spillage of the eggplant sauce in the bag, but that wasn't a big deal. I'd definitely order again!

First time trying Uyghur food and really happy I did! This restaurant gets super packed for dinner and we had to wait around 30 minutes before we were seated. We got a couple of the noodle dishes, lamb dumplings, eggplant, and a fish plate. Everything was flavored well - i personally loved the noodles. Would definitely recommend checking this restaurant out!

The food here is AMAZING. They don't take reservations and were quite busy on a Sunday evening. We ordered the lamb on dry land, which was delicious and very spicy. The chicken stew is a must order. The portion was huge and the stew's flavor had so much depth - not to mention the addictively chewy texture of the hand pulled noodles. We ended our meal with the not your typical honey cake, which was stellar. Street parking is a bit difficult to find but this restaurant is well worth it. This was one of our favorite dining experiences in Boston and we will definitely be back!

First visit here did not disappoint. Efficient and friendly service. We had lamb dumplings to start. They were tasty, but small without much filling. The Original Meefen was outstanding, and the Jagunger Noodles were excellent. Small comfortable space. Will definitely come back, especially for the Meefen!

Came here not expecting much but we were blown away by this meal. We got the chicken stew, jahunger noodle, and the honey cake. All of them were delicious and packed with flavor. The chicken stew was packed with chewy noodles in addition to big chunks of meat. We would definitely come back again for any one of these dishes. The restaurant fills up very quickly, so be sure to get there early if you don't want to wait.

Wonderful. Tried the lamb on dry land (cumin lamb with soft flatbread pieces) and Jahunger noodles (super thick noodles with spiced beef). Everything was very flavorful and uniquely spiced. Looking around at the other tables every other dish seemed super appetizing too. Fast service and a nice semi-casual ambiance, with some decorative touches that add a nice element for a date night. Will definitely add to our regular rotation.

Great food, service and ambiance! The hand pulled noodles are delightful, and very unique. I have little exposure to Uyghur food, but this was great!

This place is tucked away in the middle of a quiet neighborhood of Cambridgeport, but the inside was bustling with full tables. I think the waitstaff were quick to requests/orders, but were too busy for any detailed service, which is fine if you're ok speaking up. The text on the menu is extremely small and hard to see - not particularly friendly. In terms of the food - I think the highlights are any sort of chili oil and/or lamb flavors coming through. -Lamb Dumplings: we had to order it twice because it was really quite good. Skin is purposefully thicker and chewy, and the best part is how juicy, tender, and delicious the filling is. -Lamb on Dry Land: good amount of spice, and the way the naan soaks up the oil makes it super fun. All of the components mesh well together. -String Beans: maybe because they were busy, but the beans were overcooked and a bit too soft. The chili oil flavor was excellent, though. -Jahunger Noodles: the only disappointing dish we ordered - the noodles don't soak up much flavor, and overall the taste was similar to a standard take-out noodle dish and not particularly a standout.

I absolutely loved their first location in Providence, so I was thrilled to discover they had opened a second location in Cambridge--perfect timing as I was planning a Thanksgiving trip to Boston with my family! Hearing that their head chef is a James Beard Award semi-finalist made me even more excited to try this location. The restaurant is conveniently located near major universities like MIT and Harvard, and the large parking lot in the back made visiting super easy. We enjoyed the food so much that we either dined in or took out from the restaurant three days in a row, trying nearly everything on the menu. Some highlights included the Kavap, Samsa, Scallion Pancake, Handmade Lamb Dumplings, Jahunger Noodle, Polo, Original Meefen, Meefen, Spicy Tiger, Lamb on Dry Land, and Spicy Beef Tripe. For my kids, the Samsa, dumplings, scallion pancake, and Polo were big hits. These are some of the milder, non-spicy options, yet they were bursting with flavor--perfectly seasoned and satisfying for younger kids. As a huge fan of spicy noodles, I was delighted by the Jahunger Noodles and Meefen dishes--they were just as incredible as I remembered from Providence. We also tried their new dish, the Spicy Beef Tripe, and wow, it was a game-changer! The tripe was crispy and chewy at the same time, with a spicy, tingly flavor that was addictive and satisfying. It paired beautifully with both noodles and rice dishes. Truly a must-try! What sets Jahunger apart is how their food feels both familiar and refreshingly unique. While there are plenty of hand-pulled noodle places, none compare to Jahunger. Their noodles are irresistibly chewy and flavorful. I even ordered extra white rice just to enjoy their sauces on top--they're that good. I wish they would sell their sauces for at-home use because I'd be stocking up in a heartbeat! The Lamb on Dry Land and Spicy Tiger (eggplant) dishes also stood out. The lamb was perfectly tender and infused with bold spices, while the eggplant had a smoky, rich flavor with just the right amount of heat. Everything we tried showcased the same high quality and attention to detail we loved in Providence. Their second location proves they can deliver the same incredible flavors and consistency we've come to expect. We're super impressed and can't wait to visit again. Amazing job, Jahunger team--keep up the great work!.

Came back on a Friday night. I recommend going earlier (around 5:30-6pm) so that you can get a seat faster, because when we went it was half full, but by the time we left there was a line out the door. This time we tried the leek and egg dumplings, meefen and the ding ding noodles. The leek and egg dumplings had shrimp according to the menu, but I could pretty much only taste leek. Still, if you're vegetarian, you should be careful about ordering those because they still do contain shrimp. Meefen came with rice noodles, which were nicely slippery and chewy. I think they have more chew than you would expect of rice noodles, but I still think the chicken stew noodles are the best. The ding ding noodles had the noodles cut up into small chunks; it was more like a hot pasta salad than noodles. I love the spice that goes into their food--it's really distinctive.

The Jahunger noodles which are similar to dried beef noodles at other Uyghur restaurants were excellent. Easily the best dried beef noddles I've had. Everything from taste to texture was well done. The samsas/samosas on the other hand were extremely dry, chewy, and thick. I personally love samsas, so this was a big disappointment, especially given the much higher price point. Overall, I'd return for the noodles but stick to Silk Road for the samsas. Check them out! They also have plenty of seating and it's clearly become a local favorite given how busy it was on a weeknight.

I loved Jahunger when I tried them for the first time in Providence and was super excited to hear that they were opening a location in Cambridge. The restaurant hasn't fully opened yet but they are currently doing takeout and delivery orders. I was both excited and a little nervous about whether the dishes would be just as good as they are in Providence and can happily say that the taste and quality is the same. I picked up samsa, kavap, Jahunger noodles, and lamb on dry land. I must say that their samsa is probably the best samsa I've had. The dough has a mild bready flavor that gets super crispy on the top and the filling is moist and flavorful. If you like spicy cumin lamb skewers, then I would highly recommend the kavap! The skewers are smoky, tender, and coated with lots of cumin and spice. I first tried their Jahunger noodles when I visited their Providence location. The noodles are hand-pulled and cooked to chewy perfection. Each noodle soaks up the garlicky soy-based sauce. The noodles are stir-fried with onions, chives, garlic, dried peppers, and beef, so the dish as a whole is fragrant and flavorful. I could eat this again and again. The lamb on dry land came with a generous portion of lamb stir-fried with onions, bell peppers, and pieces of naan. The naan soaked up so much of the sauce that the lamb was a little more dry compared to the noodle dish. However, everything was still very flavorful and I loved how this dish had a different flavor profile than the Jahunger noodles even though there were a lot of overlapping ingredients. Highly, highly recommend checking out this business and getting some delicious Uyghur food!

Jahunger brings some much anticipated spice and flavor to the Cambridgeport neighborhood, tucked away on a residential street. Walk-ins only, but time quickly passes with a stroll around the block and nearby park. Inside is tastefully decorated with blue accents and moldings evoking Islamic architecture (the window seat is especially cozy). I've been here twice since its opening, and both times have left me satisfied. Highlights include: - Lamb dumplings are a MUST order, piping hot and delicious (5/5) - Lamb on dry land was also excellent, especially with the small pieces of bread that soak up spicy chili oil (4/5) - Chicken stew is well worth it, served in an enormous pot that serves 4 people and is even more delicious the second day (4.5/5) - Spicy tiger was decent, but I've certainly had better elsewhere (3.5/5) - Laghman noodles and jahunger noodles were definitely the weakest (esp. compared to the chicken stew) The service on my second visit was excellent - just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the waitress brought over mooncakes on the house which were some of the best I had in my life. They were for sale, so you bet I brought some home. Highly recommend a visit the next time you're in Cambridge.

Great little spot. Food was excellent. Nice to have something different to enjoy. Group of 5 and each got a different entree and we were all happy.

Visiting Jahunger in Providence a few years ago was a formative experience for me. I can't believe that Jahunger came to Cambridge before I could return to it! We grabbed takeout (you can order online), but it turns out that they opened up seating as well (could probably seat ~30 people). We had the noodles at home, and they were delightful. The Jahunger noodles ($17.85) are a must-get. Oh my gosh. This was even better than I remember. It comes with beef that is super tender and smooth, and bursting with flavor. The noodles are nice and chewy, and I'm sure they would taste even better in person (I will go soon to confirm). The seasoning is tingly and savory and everything nice. Just writing this is making me want to go there tomorrow. I think the portion size could be a bit better -- I could use more noodles -- but the dish is just such a delight. We also tried the Original Meefen ($16.80) which was also great. The seasoning was a bit overly salty, so we ended up saving a lot of the ground meat and green bean topping to eat with carbs later. The noodles were perfectly cooked and took on the flavor of the toppings well. I liked the crunchy soybeans in the topping. I would get this again as well. It seems like this location is just as good as the one in Providence, so I'm looking forward to frequenting this location. The food holds up pretty well as takeout, but I think the Jahunger noodles would be better in person. Eagerly awaiting my next visit!

Staff were all lovely. I got the chicken stew which could actually be shared between a few people it was huge and flavourful. I thought jahunger noodles were very spicy to where I couldn't taste much else in the dish but the dumplings and dry lamb on land were delicious. I've never had Uyghur food before so I really enjoyed this experience!

Ja Hunger Gift Cards: When Your "Present" Becomes Their Profit What happens when a restaurant can't - or won't - honor their own gift cards? My recent experience at Ja Hunger taught me how easily $100 can vanish. They could not find my birthday gift card in their system. Frustrating, but I paid for dinner myself, and luckily my sister included the receipt with the birthday card. I went back to the restaurant with all the necessary receipts, and even a manager's note about the incident. But I discovered that at Ja Hunger, having proof of purchase doesn't guarantee anything. Despite following every reasonable step and having detailed documentation, I found myself caught in an absurd situation where the restaurant acknowledged the gift card's existence but refused to refund it or offer any form of compensation. Don't let this bad experience happen to your friends and family. Don't buy a gift card at this place. Don't find out the hard way that your generosity can easily become a risk-free profit center for a business that makes gift cards difficult or impossible to redeem.

One of the best places I've recently tried in the Cambridge/Boston area! The Jahunger noodles were insanely good--garlicky, spicy (in the numbing, tingly way), and just so flavorful. The beef was super tender, and the texture of the noodles was also great; it had the perfect amount of bounce and chewiness. The chicken stew was equally amazing. The bright red soup was spicy and flavorful from the chicken. The hand-pulled noodles had a great texture, and was a great vehicle for the spicy soup to cling onto. The lamb polo was okay. The lamb was not super gamey (which I appreciated, as someone who doesn't usually like lamb), but the dish as a whole kind of lacked flavor. The spicy Meefen noodles were also pretty good, but definitely not as good as the Jahunger noodles. It was a bit oily and some of the pieces of chicken were a bit tough. My only complaint would be that the portion sizes were a bit small for the price. Also, note that there is a 20% gratuity already included for larger (5+?) groups, which we unfortunately didn't realize as we were not informed.

I ordered delivery from here last night. I got a variety of items and they were all super delicious. The homemade noodles were some of the best I've had in any cuisine, period. Seriously masterful work! I'll be thinking about them for weeks, I think. Everything was seasoned well, big flavor bombs - and perfect cookery. I'm really looking forward to trying the rest of the menu and dining in. I've often felt lukewarm on Uyghur food due to my experiences at the few other places in town. It's never bad - but I'm sorta left just wishing it was Uzbek. However, Jahunger showed me what this cuisine could cuisine can really do. Super impressed. If I had *one* note its that the polo dish was perhaps too steeply priced for the portions. While it's delicious, it's the only dish I had I'd hesitate to order again.

It's always exciting seeing a new restaurant show up in Cambridge. Alas, that's the only good thing I have to say about this Uyghur restaurant. We went on a busy Friday night and had to enter the waitlist, though we got seated in less than 2 minutes. Afterwards, most parties had to wait up to 15 minutes to get their seats. It's so busy, it must be good right? We tried the Polo lamb fried rice and the chicken stew. Both very pricey ($21 and $32 respectively). The lamb was incredibly dry, and the portion of the rice was pretty small for its price of $21! The stew was OK, but full small bone fragments due to how they cut the chicken. There could have been way more vegetables (peppers and potatoes) for the $32 price (that's about what it costs for an entire roast duck in Chinatown!). Anyway, both dishes were pretty mediocre and did not meet our expectations, having been to other Uyghur food joints in the Boston area. Given the price and quality of the food, I can see literally no reason to ever come here again or recommend this, unless you are just craving the world's driest meat.

Excellent addition to Cambridge food scene! The food and service was impeccable. We went around lunch time on a weekend and it was packed with a wait time so we decided to order take out. In the meantime, a table opened up and we requested a change to dine-in - even though our request was tricky to handle and we let them know that it's perfectly fine if they can't manage it, the staff went out of their way to accommodate us. Oh and the food was amazing! The lamb on dry land and the lamb dumplings are a must have.

Absolutely incredible hand pulled noodles, so excited to have this spot in the neighborhood!

fresh noodles and fragrant vegetables make this place so yummy! I also greatly enjoyed the honey cake paired with the ice cream

It was such a pleasant surprise to find out Jahunger opened a second restaurant in Cambridge! I was in town visiting so obviously had to run over to get my favorite Meefen noodles. The decor and ambiance surpassed expectations and the staff was warm and accommodating. I ordered the Meefen noodles but opted for the Tofu option this time and it DID NOT disappoint. If spicy noodles is your thing, you've gotta give it a try. Outstanding service, delicious, satisfying meals every.single.time. 10/10 would recommend!

Okay. The food first came out smelled so good , I did not have time to take pictures before I devoured this delicious meal. This will be one of my favorite spot to dine or take out in Cambridge. the unique flavor of this cuisine is by far the best meal I had in a while.

Food was yummy i loved the flavoring specifically the lamb kebabs. The meat in the other dishes were a little chewy maybe but overall very good. Kitchen took a break from 3-4 so we made it just in time. I like the decor as well

We went to this restaurant because it's 5 star on yelp. We ordered a fried rice noodle and a regular noodle. I won't call the rice noodle a "fried rice noodle" because it has too much sauce in it and the rice noodle tastes like leftovers. The regular noodle tastes fine but only in a small portion. Overall it's not good as expected, I'm a big fan of XinJiang food and this rice noodle is definitely not in a taste that it should be.

H wanted to try this spot for a long overdue group reunion. Since she holds a special place in the heart, I agreed, all the while wondering what we would eat if the pepper level was beyond both of us. So, mentally preparing to drink lots of water, off we went to Jahunger. The restaurant itself has a prized corner location --airy and spacious, busy but not too loud. We were seated fairly quickly despite the larger group size and staff was pleasant. If you are intrigued by the name like I was, it turns out that Jahunger is not a real word so there is no meaning in the Uyghur language, but I'm sure there's a fun back story to it... Our table ordered the Jahunger noodles, the Polo and pancakes. I also tried some black tea. Everything was very flavorful and not too spicy (thankfully some dishes can be modified to adjust heat) and service was fast and attentive. Traditional teas might be a nice touch since technically I think mine was not on the menu (thanks for accommodating my request!). We didn't get to try the honey cake due to some of our party's time constraints but even though I'm not really into cake, I hope to return to try it another time since it's a pretty popular cultural dessert. Tip: Nearby street parking is Cambridge permit only, but there is a small lot on Brookline opposite the pizza place for area patrons. Also if you are observing halal, double check what is or isn't as someone mentioned that not everything on the menu was.

We ate here shortly after the Cambridge location opened last summer. I ordered the chicken stew but found it too spicy and difficult to eat (lots of bones). My dinner companion had the Jahunger noodles, which were really good. The service and ambiance were very good-- look forward to going back again.

Amazing food, even for vegetarians/vegans. Janaya was really patient and thoughtful with us despite the packed restaurant. We ordered every vegetarian thing on the menu then proceeded to eat all of it.

Service was pretty bad. I really wanted to try the food but I didn't even get to order. There were only 7 people dining, 2 employees eating and 1 young lady at the reception. I walk in, lady is on phone for a bit taking an order and then leaves and goes into the kitchen. I wait around and another person pops out and asks if I'm doing take out. I say I'm just want a table for 1. She pours me water and is nice. I wait and the lady on the phone asks if I ready to order and I say 1 minute. 15 minutes goes by, and she never comes back. She's on her phone at the register for a while, then on the restaurant phone taking another order and then disappears. Nobody else comes out, so there's nothing I can do to order and the place is freezing cold, like 60 degrees, so I had to leave. Seems more like a Grubhub type place as they aren't focused on their dine-in experience. I think I'll go home and try it another time using Grubhub.

My favorite thing about this spot is it's halal! The food was super tasty and very flavorful. We will definitely be going back

If you never tried authentic Uygher food, this place is decent. Be careful some of dishes might be spicy to some people.

Weeknight out with friends and enjoyed very much. Will be back to try the big bowl of hand pull chicken noodle. Be prepared for tiny print on the menu.

Very solid. Got the Meefan and Lamb Kabob app. Lamb was great, flavorful and simple. Meefan wasn't may favorite flavor but I enjoyed it. Very spicy, medium hot but really spicy and full of flavor. It was extremely hot temperature wise. Chicken in it was excellent and noodles nice consistency but slippery to pick up on chop sticks. Nice friendly service and decent atmosphere

Only hand pulled noodles around. Great service, I always prefer to eat in. Water available at table, carafe kept full. Lamb dishes good but expect more at Uighhar restaurant. To be fair it is new. No wood fires dishes, but I expect that's a City of Cambridge restriction.

Food is ok to pretty good, but not as good as what others have reviewed in the past (Noodles to sauce proportion)

Went to Jahunger for the first time (NOT LAST TIME!) on Tuesday evening and it was TASTY! Excellent service - friendly and helpful waiter. A variety of new/suprising/delightful menu items. Appreciated the chill vibe and high quality of fresh ingredients. Grateful for a place like this moving into the neighborhood!

We asked if the lamb appetizer was spicey hot, my partner expressly said she had problems with too much spice, and we were assured it was mild. I like spice, and it was near the limit of my comfort. We asked if my partner's could be changed and the waitress said the chef would give us another at a discount! The restaurant was hopping with people. The business wasn't suffering. Not a very generous offer. The waitress also tried to seat us at the back in an uncomfortable cramped position before we asked to sit at the front by the window at a clearly free table ( being saved in case Beyonce and Jay Z were coming in?) Apparently they can do without our repeat custom, or any one else who I won't be recommending. Sorry.

so so so so so good! one of boston's best!!! lamb skewers (kavap): my favorite thing from the menu!! the seasoning was amazing and the meat was cooked perfectly. spicy tiger (eggplant/pepper dish): pretty good and isn't too spicy except for the peppers themselves. polo (lamb w rice): also super good! lamb was cooked well and the flavors were delicious. jahunger noodles: the flavors were good and typical to other uyghur food i've had in boston, but the beef was a bit chewy. however, i loved the noodles themselves - the taste and texture were both great. laghman noodles: got the beef subbed with chicken for some variety. the hand pulled noodles were one again so so good! the sauce was unexpectedly tangy and while it was still a nice flavor, i prefer the other dishes.

Food is satisfying, and well prepared. Thoughtful staff. I've been for both take-out and dining in. For my takeout order, one dish was left out. The manager was responsive. I had the option to make another trip and pick it up right away or come back the next day. The two noodle and one veggie dish we had for takeout was so delicious that I gladly chose to return for a dine-in meal. The dishes were even more delicious hot, and right out of the kitchen. The restaurant offers several different styles of hand pulled and hand made noodles. Each style has its own texture, chewiness and was intentionally paired with the dish it was meant for. Wide and flat with the chicken stew. Thin and round with the saucier bowl of noodles. Thick and round for the pan fried dishes. Lastly, my missing dish was included. No questions asked, and the staff remembered to comp the extra dish from the day before.

I love their providence location and so I decided to try them out in Cambridge. So good like always.

Smack in the middle of a residential neighborhood in Cambridge this Uyghur restaurant has a quiet ambiance with some seriously good food. I had the simply named chicken stew, a treasure of garlicky spiciness and a whole lot more. Watch out for the bones though. Great servers, plenty of superb food, and very little public on-street parking (all neighborhood permit spaces). They do have a small parking lot. Don't take my space though! I'll be there soon.

amazing food and quick service! we loved the traditional chicken stew dish was amazing to share! the noodles are incredible. i love the ding ding too!
