Karamay Uyghur Cuisine

I was very disappointed by the flavours ins Karamay. I was really looking forward to a crispy flavourful somsa but I got a pastry that was flaky, not crispy at all and quite bland. The crispiness of the somsa's is what made me love them and these ones were not good. Not sure what failed. Maybe the lack of a proper somsa oven? The Langham noodles were also disappointing. They were too soft. Overcooked. They were lacking that bite and texture so characteristic of them.

Super tasty! 😋 The owner from Xinjiang and the Canadian waitress were both really nice and friendly. Great place to have lunch with friends — only 2 minutes from the tube. A bit pricey, but the food is worth it — big portions and full of flavour. 👍🏻 Highly recommend the baked buns (eat them hot!) and the lamb skewers with rice. Best Xinjiang food in London! ❤️

Karamay Uyghur Cuisine offers an authentic taste of Uyghur culture through its flavorful dishes. The spices and traditional cooking methods create a rich and unique experience. The lamb kebabs and hand-pulled noodles are standout items. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, perfect for anyone looking to try something different and delicious in London. Great portion sizes and friendly service add to the overall positive experience. Highly recommended for fans of Central Asian cuisine!

The food was delicious and very filling, the flavours were unique and I'm so gratefull to be able to try uyghur food. Our table had lots of requests and we came during a really busy time, we were served with kindness each time even though we had a lot of requests. I would definetly come again the experience was wonderful!

The food here is always great. I come pretty often, and I always have to get the lamb rice! It’s my favourite thing on the menu. Everything tastes fresh and well seasoned. We went on a Tuesday night and it was still pretty busy, but the service was really good and the staff were friendly and attentive. It’s a comfortable place with consistently good food. Definitely recommend.

I visited this restaurant on a Friday night with friends, and even though we arrived quite late, the staff welcomed us warmly with genuine smiles. We ordered the beef and chicken lagman along with Manti, all of which were flavorful and beautifully presented. To our pleasant surprise, we were offered complimentary drinks, which added a lovely touch to the evening. The interior design truly stands out, the rug on the clay wall immediately caught our attention, evoking a strong sense of cultural connection. Downstairs, there’s a spacious “tapchan” area that can comfortably accommodate over ten people, perfect for larger gatherings. The entire atmosphere felt cozy and inviting, almost like being back home. It’s also great to note that the food is halal, making it an excellent choice for those seeking authentic halal cuisine. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this restaurant to others. And we will be back soon

Food: The food was pretty good overall and was something that was enjoyable. We got two dishes between the two of us and the spicy lamb was tasty. The chicken and noodle dish was also decent as well but not mind blowing. Was a little bit disappointed in the filling of the dumplings as the skin was done well but the met inside was a bit tough but maybe it was a culture thing I did not expect. Service: It was a quiet service but it was solid if unspectacular, nothing that made it stand out, but nothing terrible either. Atmosphere: it was extremely hard to judge, especially as there were only three tables in the restaurant with people during a muted spell but it was still comfortable to be in. It's a decent meal and experience with uyghur food which I am looking forward to trying again.

Staff were lovely, place is nice, food is Halal and good but nothing special. It was my first time having Uyghur food so I expected more out of what I had. Some of the dishes do have ready made noodles so you may want to ask. Other than that, it’s definitely a good try ☺️
