Karamay Uyghur Cuisine

It was so good that I forgot to take pictures constantly. Would definitely recommend going - they said they are closing the branch from December but moving to Oxford Circus which makes my life even easier. Will defo pop back The only downside is portion is fairly small by Uyghur restaurant standard - my other favourite Stag City serves way bigger portion but slightly out of town.

Five stars! Definitely gonna recommend this one to my friends. The best fried rice noodles I’ve ever had in London. And very large portion of Chicken. Luv all the dishes we ordered today. Btw, thanks Molly for getting us an extra portion of rice noodles. Great service. No need to book(at least for today!) 100%😭

We went there for a Sunday lunch. You can book the table by using their app but the deposit is required £10 per person. They literally will charge you on the day you book. I really don't like that. Only few michellin star restaurants charge you. Most of them just require a credit card for holding the reservation. Apparently we are the only customers there by the time we arrived. The food is authentic. One of the server was quite friendly but the other one was just so cold. We ordered a lot of food. Most of them are quite good.

I visited Karamay Restaurant a couple of weeks ago, and it was a delightful surprise, absolutely worth every single dish I tried. We ordered the lamb chops, volcano rice noodles, lamb skewers, and the spicy noodles, sharing them so everyone could enjoy each dish. Every item was delicious, and I am definitely looking forward to coming back soon. The service from the staff was impeccable; they paid attention to every detail and were incredibly welcoming. Thank you for everything!

Loved the meat skewers. My friend liked his order too. Very authentic seeming. Would have preferred the noodles with less oil but I know this is traditional so that’s alright.

The overall experience was quite nice, our dining was facilitated by friendly staff and efficient services. The foods are all tasty, well prepared and well decorated Though it’s a bit pity that most of the must-try were not available for some reasons, and that seems to remain for a while. We didn’t get to try the famous rice cooked in bamboo tube, grilled chicken gizzard, murger and the traditional ice cream The restaurant is located on the second floor of a building in a quiet ally, quite enjoyed the space within it. However it’s also noisy due to the short distance with other tables

Highly recommend the beef and fungus stir fry noodle which was full of flavours. We ordered the lamb with naan dish as well. The lamb was tender. The naan got quite soggy if you don’t eat fast enough and the dish was very filling. We prefer the sauce in the noodle dish and found the lamb dish a bit on the blend side. Overall, it’s a good place to go for Uyghur cuisine.

I have been to this restaurant many times as it is one of my all-time favorites in London. The food has been consistently delicious, and their service (Ziko was one of the waiters serving us during my most recent visits, and he has been very friendly) are improving over time. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who want to try Uyghur cuisine.
