New world Uyghur Cuisine

Absolutely the most tender lamb skewers I’ve ever had. Served on authentic and traditional metal Uyghur skewers. So well spiced and great quality for an affordable price! They take cards too. I will come back with my parents next time! This family owned restaurant stall is such a gem. The family owners were working hard together as a family and it was beautiful to see. Lovely place.

As part of our food crawl in downtown Flushing, this was another place I told my buddy to try since many of the same establishments had a similar theme or food offering. We ordered three skewers of their lamb shish kebabs, which were seasoned well and delicious. In one of the pics with the fancy skewers, it an abstract pic of a silver stingray ;-).

Wonderful Uyghur food! I have been wanting to try for a while. They have plof, noodles and many delicious lamb dishes. I got the dry dried noodle with lamb. The noodle texture was perfect and the dish was spicy and delicious. Couldn’t resist the traditional central Asian samsa with lamb. Would go back !

The big chicken plate and meat sandwhich are DELICIOUS! Get the chicken plate w the hand pulled fresh noodles! The meat patty is good. Honestly the lamb skewers are skippable. Small, under seasoned, and kind of dry. But omg rhe chicken plate and meat sandwhich are AMAZING!!!

We ordered the dry fried noodles and big chicken plate. The chicken plate was definitely big but the noodles were a huge scam. There were only like 3 pieces of beef in there and a few small pieces the size of a grain of rice. I was literally fishing for pieces of meat. $12 to just eat mostly noodles was not satisfying. Flavors were there but the portions were not it. The worst part is, we saw them using the same mop on the floor to clean THE STOVE. Unheard of.

I recently visited New World Uyghur Cuisine and was impressed by their great lamb kabobs. The flavors were rich and satisfying. The service was decent, contributing to an overall pleasant dining experience. If you're in the mood for some delicious lamb kabobs, this place is worth a visit.

Huge food court located inside a shopping mall - First time trying Uyghur cuisine and loved everything. My favorite was the lagman handpulled stir fried noodles. The chef was accomodating because I asked for non spicy. The texture of the noodles were thick and chewy. Definately one of the better handpulled noodles I have tried. The lamb shank was incredibily tender and tasty. The samsa was delicious as well. The filling was flavorful and the crust was crispy. Just loved everything. Will go back to try other items. Lamb shank $15 Lagman handpulled noodles with beef $11 Samsa $3

The people working there are extremely unfriendly and unwelcoming. I bought samsas after hearing about it all over social media. It was cold and stale like it had been sitting out all day. They didn’t even offer to warm it or give me fresh ones. Flavor didn’t make up for it either. The lamb/beef mixture has a gamey taste and you’ll be burping and tasting the gamey flavor hours later. Don’t waste your money!

The food was interesting and overall okay. I've heard of this region of China through work, and it was such a treat to actually get to experience the food from this region. The samsa was so so. It wasn't the greatest thing I've had nor the worst. The meat inside was okay, nothing too wowing or providing a flavor kick. It was mellow tasting as if the meat was boiled. The Uyghur pilof was tasty. The lamb leg was huge, and the meat literally falls off the bone. It had enough flavor that I enjoyed it despite its appearance looking lack luster. The pilof was tasty with the raison-like pieces of dried fruit. Again, it had enough flavor even though the colors would perhaps indicate something that would wow your mouth in flavors/spices. Tarim Uyghur Food is located in the food court of New World Mall.

Kashgar to Bukhara - 615 miles apart, or 4 miles, depending on your views. In every shopping mall food court there is a black sheep location - the place next to the restrooms. Management tends to charge less rent for that spot, which makes for the place to watch for newcomers. Take for instance the spot near the restrooms at the New World Mall food court - before the presence of Tarim it was the Kebab Empires. Considering that cumin kebab stands are all over downtown Flushing, a bit of retooling is in order. What's the deal with Uighur food? It's a Central Asian cuisine with a rich culinary heritage derived from the Silk Road trade between Europe, The Middle East and Asia. Kashgar (a city in the region) sat on the extreme western edge of China - It's 3000 miles between the ancient Silk Road city of Bukhara in Uzbekistan (roughly the same as LA to NYC), and the Chinese capital of Beijing. Kashgar is only 615 miles from Bukhara (roughly the same as Chicago and NYC) and due to its proximity, there is a greater similarity between Uighur and Bukharian cuisine versus the Chinese - protein is usually lamb (or chicken), starch is either rice (or wheat noodles), and not everything is nearly as spicy as you might have thought. What does Bukharian food tastes like? It's available 4 miles away from Flushing in Rego Park - there is a large population of Bukharian Jews who emigrated in the early 2000s, and they opened up a plethora of joints that serves up samsa, plov and other various popular dishes of the old Soviet Union. Samsas are little meat turnovers with an almost sweet onion and meat filling. Plov is like rice dish braised with lamb, onions, carrots and raisins...similar to a Biryani. Lagman is a chewy noodle soup that features bell peppers, onions, beef (or lamb) in a rich soup that contains tomato flavors. Since the entire area is Jewish they are closed on Friday Nights and Saturdays, and you can't mix dairy and meat. So why bring up Bukharian when comparing with Uighur food? Because you totally see similarities in one versus the other - for example, the samsas at Tarim is very similar to the ones at Rokkat (bakery in Rego Park). There's some type of lamb (or pumpkin) filling. The stir fried noodles are chewy and very similar to the roast laghman served in Rego joints). The pilaf (抓飯) is a similar analogy to their Bukharian cousins - rice, lamb, carrots, and in a more local twist, features raisins. Eh, it's not exactly steamed white basmati rice typically done in Thai or southern Chinese households. Of course, you got your cuminy lamb kebabs, but then even the Hans got into that so seeing it on the menu is not a major surprise, and there's 大盤雞 dapanji or "big platter chicken", which is a spicy chicken and potato stew that everyone thinks is Uyghur but it's really just a garbage bowl served to truck drivers travelling between Western and Central China in the 1970s invented by a Han restaurant manager from Sichuan - if you ever had Korean Dakdoritang, it's essentially the same thing. It's Ugyhur the same way malasadas and manapua are Hawaiian...it's served there but it's certainly not native. So, why Tarim? Well, because every stall in New World mall sells malatang (which is the Sichuan garbage bowl), you are getting sick and tired of dumplings, and it's time to put on the big boy pants and give something new a try. So yeah, give that pilaf here a try, have some laghman, and then drop by places like Cheburechnaya in Rego Park on a Sunday evening. You'll be surprised how similar and tasty things are.

Been here a few times, and so glad that this place continues to offer Uyghur food in the heart of Flushing. Mostly have come here so far for their beef/lamb pockets in the setting of a Food Crawl and it's always an interesting fun moment for everyone. While the most recent time we went the meat was not the most tender, it's kind of like an empanada with middle eastern and Chinese flavors combined into one. It wasn't spicy at all, and the onions added a nice touch. The workers are nice and it's def worth a stop because who knows where else you'll be able to find food like this? Definitely want to come back to try the rest of their items. NYC beats other big cities in that we offer a ton of diversity, represented in our food culture and the fact that we have Uyghur food is a blessing, so take advantage of it.

The portions are pretty solid and I really liked the breads the most. It's in the basement of the mall in the big food court.

I never had Uyghur food before, so it was on our radar the next time we visited the food court. We unknowingly got our food in takeout boxes, but they also didn't ask us. I am curious how their portion size may differ as a result. The Roujiamo ($9.99) that I got could be worth a try. The aromatic flavor has a familiar Chinese stir fry taste and smell to it. From the colors, I had thought it could have been spicy, but it wasn't at all! The Uyghur Pilav ($14) was disappointing. For $14, the end product didn't live up to the price tag. It was definitely healthy tasting, with bland carrot rice cushioning a possibly slow cooked lamb. There's a slightly sweet tinge with every bite due to the raisins thrown in. For the price, there's better bang you can get for your buck at the food court. But for even offering a Uyghur option, it could be worth your while. Maybe I can try again with their Samsa next time.

The menu is all photos which I loved and left nothing to guessing. It's a cozy operation and the man upfront really does know how to work the grill. I had the noodles and lamb and it was wonderful. Tender lamb and noodles tasted home made. Got some samsa to go, after seeing they were putting out freshly toasted ones for a take out order. Portions are sharable if you want to try a few things. You never know with food courts, but this one won't disappoint.

I bought the big plate chicken. It looks like it increased by $2 in the last ten months, making it $12.99 now. Be wary. Their prices increase if you pay by card. I asked for a water and they said it's $1. They charged me $2 because I used card. The amount was decent and the taste was good. My only complaint is that a lot of chicken has hardly any meat. It was mostly bone. I enjoyed the noodles, chicken and potatoes though. The sauce wasnt too spicy but id probably still recommend a lil bit of water.

Delicious food from the persecuted Uyghur minority in China. The cuisine is Russian, Uzbek, Turkish, and Chinese all rolled into one. For lack of a better phrase I would term it Silk Road cuisine, to showcase the influences of many different peoples instead of naming countries. And it's all good. You like lamb? Samsa? Bread? You're good then. Stop by and try it.

Naan was good, dense and thick but delicious when warmed up. Not many vegetarian options in this cuisine.

Decided to pre-game lunch with my two sisters at this restaurant after we saw all the options throughout the new world food court. I had never had Uyghur food before and was excited to try. I believe if you order from the front, it's cash only. We got one order of the special lagman ($15.50). The dish consists of hand-pulled noodles, woodear mushrooms, bell peppers, beef, and a mala sauce. I think most people had ordered online as they arrived and got their food to go. We ended up waiting over 30 minutes for our one dish to be ready because it seemed like they may have been understaffed? Not sure but would've been nice to be given a time estimate so we could walk around or something instead of sitting at the food court table right in front. It seemed like the employees were friendly though and working as quick as they could. The noodles were delicious, the mala sauce coated them very well. We liked how since the noodles are hand pulled fresh, there was varying textures because they were of different sizes but still each cooked perfectly. The vegetables gave it a nice freshness but there actually wasn't that much meat. I still really enjoyed the sauce though because I drank some of the remaining liquid up when the noodles and toppings were gone. Would definitely try other things on the menu next time and maybe order online!

I ordered the lamb dumplings and they were so freaking good. I didn't expect them to be soupy based on the picture I ordered off from but the soup was good. I ate every last dumpling, the portion was perfect for one person. It is very hot so be careful. I did not try the vinegar/sauce at all. One con was that there was a long wait for our food, and it didn't seem too busy. But at least that means the food was freshly made right? Staff was nice and waved me down (when I was sitting at a table) when my food was ready.

I've been interested in visiting this place for a while. I don't ties to the area so I'm hardly out here. Finally made my way back and decided to make this the day I ate here. After all, I never had Uyghur food or know what it is. The spot is tucked away in the downstairs food court of the mall. We ordered the food and it came in about 10mins. As you can tell from my stars, I love it! I would honestly say that this place is more of a 4.5. I gave it a 5 because I had no real complaints. The portions are good and the food isn't too expensive. Most importantly, it's good tasting food. I order the rice pilaf with lamb and a samsa, came out to $18. The main dish was satisfying enough. The lamb isn't how I would've wanted it but it was still good. The rice was also delicious. If I could think of a complaint it would be more seasonings or make it spicy. The Samsa was also good, it's not better than samosas or meat filled bread dishes I had. It did taste like something I had before. Couldn't remember what it was though. All in all it was still good though. Finally I tried a bit of the Big Chicken Plate, I thought it tasted good. I only had a few scraps of it. My friend thought the chicken didn't have enough meat. I plan on going back and getting a similar dish. In fact, looking at his plate made me wish I ordered that instead! All in all, a great hidden gem in NYC. If you're a foodie maybe make your way out here so you can try Uyghur food!

Tarim Uyghur was one of our many stops of the New World Mall's basement food court, so we only had room for one dish. We tried the small size of "big plate chicken" $10.99. The dish was flavorful, the chicken was tender and I loved the hand made noodles that soaked up the sauce. The chicken does have a lot of bones, joints and fatty parts - but outside of that I thought it was a flavorful dish I would recommend to spice and chicken lovers. I should have gotten the samsa to go, but I'll have to come back next time to try!

I have never seen this type of food in Houston, so I wanted to give a go. This type of food originated from a Chinese Muslim province in Western China. I ordered lamb cooked with chili spices and pepper on top of pita type bread. I guess it was similar to a gyro. The sliced lamb meat was very oily and the spices overwhelmed the lamb. $10 was not expensive since there was lots of sliced lamb meat. The counter help was not friendly. One and done at this shack.

Was underwhelming compared to the first time I tried this place. Rice was old and stale. The big plate of chicken that was supposed to be the smaller portion suitable for one person wasn't filling. The seasoning was barely there this time. Not sure what happened, hoping this is a one time error.

Absolutely legendary and one of my favorite spots in Flushing. Their dry-fried noodles with lamb is one of my favorite single dishes in the city. Some of the surrounding stalls don't smell great, which can be a downer while eating, but if you find the right seat it won't be a big deal.

My sister got Kung Pao chicken which neither of us liked. It was too oily, too spicy, had peanuts & bell peppers. Both of us hate the latter 2 ingredients. I didn't know Chinese food contains peanuts. I thought that was mostly a Thai/ Indonesian thing. If you love spicy, oily food, this is the place for you. If not & if you dislike peanuts & bell peppers, this is not the place to go.

First time trying this type of cuisine. Got the special lagman. Food had a lot of flavors and good portion. Service was quick.

Stumbled upon this spot in New World Mall's food court and it was a pleasant surprise. The dish I tried was packed with flavor, juicy, and definitely filling. They didn't skimp on the meat or veggies, which was nice. Fair warning: it can be a bit messy to eat with all the sauce. Food was made to order, so it came out hot. The service was quick, and being in a food court means there's plenty of seating, even during busy times. It's not fine dining, but for a mall food court, it hits the spot. I'm curious to try their other menu items next time I'm in the area.

I had diced veggie noodles that were very good. Prepared quickly and hot. It had tomato onion celery. And the sauce was almost like tomato too. Had a little flavor spice but not too much. The noodles were so fresh and perfectly chewy. The whole food court looked amazing but I wanted to try this because it seemed more unique. I haven't had this dish before or many others in their menu!

Uighur food has been on my must-try list for a while. I've had hand-pulled noodles with lamb from Xi'an famous foods of couple of times, so i have some familiarity with the flavors. I was looking forward to expanding my palate. I tried the big plate chicken and a samsa with lamb. The big plate chicken came with hand-pulled noodles. The portion was generous and the flavor was amazing - multifaceted and addictively sticky. The service was quick and friendly. The samsa was fresh and delicious. They're located in the food hall of the new world mall. I look forward to trying more of their menu next time I'm in the area.

The lamb skewers/kababs at Tarim were amazing. They were made from tender pieces of marianted lamb and grilled over an open flame to order. The flavors consisted of cumin, chili powder, and other spices, which gave the lamb a distinct and flavorful taste. If you are a fan of grilled meats and spices, you will definitely want to try these skewers for a delicious and authentic taste of Uighur cuisine. The skewers at Tarim was my favorite dish to order while in the Flushing area and my other food mates agreed, even the ones who dislike lamb! Give them a try next time you're down in the New World food court.

I mean good g*d damn is this place good. Choosing a spot to eat from in this food hall is difficult because there are so many choices but this one..... don't sleep on it. I don't come across Uyghur food all that often in NYC and this menu was perfect especially given the heavy pork ingredients in many of the other places here, well.... You're not going to find that at a halal place! I digress ... eat here, eat everything. The cashier and cooks were super sweet and helpful, which is always appreciated around a cuisine that I am not deeply familiar with. We got the lamb kebab (YAS!!!!), the beef dry handmade noodle dish (YAS!!!!), which had an amazing texture and taste!! Also the samsa (YASSSS!!!) Please go and enjoy, you deserve it.

i've been here twice and loved it! uyghur food is such a rare find in nyc and we were intrigued when we saw it in the new world mall food court. we got here around closing time during our first visit and unsurprisingly, they didn't have much food left. we went with the lamb pilaf as recommended by the staff and the last remaining samsa. the lamb pilaf came with a lamb shank that was super tender, flavorful, but not gamey (i reaaaaaaally dislike the gaminess of lamb). i took a few bites of the rice and it was pretty good too. the real star was the samsa. it's a baked pastry with a mixture of lamb and beef filling. there's cumin in the seasoning and the flavor/texture of the samsa reminded me of the cumin lamb burger of xi'an famous foods, sans the veggies. soooo, if you like the cumin lamb burger from XFF, you will prolly like this too. i got the same things during my second visit. lamb pilaf was kinda greasy but i did make two meals out of it. samsa was as good as the first time. the staff is super friendly and i'd definitely come back to try other items!

This is one of the only places to get Uyghur food. It is in located in the basement food court of the New World Mall. The food reminded me a lot of Tibetan and Central Asian food. I would recommend getting the laghman noodles (hand pulled noodles) or their staple rice dish polu (very similar to the Central Asian pilaf dish). The portions are decent here and everything is very reasonably priced too at about $10 for an entree. The food is very flavorful and contains a healthy dose of lamb, cumin, carrots, tomatoes and onions. Definitely worth checking out for a change of pace.

Solid Uyghur food spot in New World mall. I tried the dry noodles with lamb and the leg of lamb and both were delicious.

Solid spot in the food court with reasonable prices and flavorful food. Big plate chicken was a bit on the greasy side, but still delicious. I liked the pastry; it had a nice flaky texture and a yummy meat filling.

Food is fire!! I've never had the combinations of the stir fried meat and fresh noodles, the seasoning on the lamb skewers was amazing as well. This spot was on point I'll be back!

Tarim Uyghur Food, located in the New World Mall Food Court, may be worth visiting to try Uyghur cuisine. Dishes We've Tried: - Dry Fried Noodles ($10): Vibrant and not spicy. The noodles have a good chew. This dish was our favorite from this place. - Lamb Shank with Pilaf ($12): A huge chunk of meat and bone on pilaf. The lamb shank was dry, while the pilaf was a bit plain. - Samsa ($3): like a lamb-filled hot pocket. Could use further seasoning. - Fried Rice Noodles ($10): Similar to how "chow mein" in many neighborhood Chinese take-out joints in New York City isn't actually a noodle dish (due in part to the long presence, adaptation and evolution of Chinese cuisine in America), Tarim's Fried Rice Noodles (炒米粉) doesn't have fried rice noodles. Instead, the Fried Rice Noodles here consists of soft noodles with chicken, celery, and peppers. Though colorful, this somewhat soupy mix seems diluted in flavor, lest one accidentally bites into the plentiful pieces of jalapeño peppers. Logistics: Because New World Mall Food Court is located in the basement of New World Mall, cell phone reception is generally very poor. Overall: 3.25 of 5. While I'm relatively neutral towards most the dishes we tried here (plain may also mean less salt, sugar and other bad stuff), I would recommend the Dry Fried Noodles.

I really wanted to like the food, since the stall is pretty unique and there isn't many Uyghur restaurants in the city, but the dishes here fell a little short. The lagman or handmade noodles was average. It was a little on the bland side. The lamb kebabs were delicious though, so I highly recommend those. They also have lamb shank pilaf which I thought was average as well and samsas (pastry like dumpling) which I did not try. I'd still recommend this place if you want to try something different. Get the lamb kebabs, but for good lagman head further up Main street or go to Brooklyn. This place is also Halal.

I knew I wanted to try the lamb skewers and yelpers guided me to the dry fried noodles. Both were outstanding. The noodles were thick and chewy -- a great consistency and soaked up the oil and spice. The dish had nice slices of lamb and veggies. And the skewers -- the lamb kabobs -- were the tastiest I've ever had. They were not too spicy (you can ask for spicy) but they were so tender and flavorful and not very fatty at all.

Noodles are handmade and food made freshly to order! We ordered the Dried Fried Noodles....so flavorful and the noodles are perfectly soft and chewy at the perfect consistency! We order the exact same dish to go!

Enjoyed the lamb skewer kebabs and the lamb samosas! They make it fresh, so it was piping hot.

We ordered the lamb kebabs. 3 for $10, great deal and the meat was super tasty and tender.

The lamb fried rice and lamb bun smells so nice and the Tarim food is authentic! Please join us and take a bite! It's in the first floor basement c right in th corner of The New World mall..

Very good. 1) I got the lamb kabob. The order is for 3 skewers. However, the amount of food was small, but very delicious. It is 10 dollars. 2) The Samsa tasted good, but I wish they heated it for me. 3) Overall, the food is fantastic.

Came here to order a Samsa, which may have been derived from the Middle Eastern and Indian samosa. The stall is operated by three native Uyghurs. Conveniently, they can speak Chinese. When I ordered the Samsa, one of the operators put a premade one in a microwave. When I ate it, I could taste the cumin.

Stopped by really quickly to try their Samsa which is meat turnover like a samosa/empanada. The flavors of their beef are so good. Well spiced inside. The service was great and wished I had more of an appetite to try other things but Samsa was a great snack!

I really only got a snack from here, the lamb kebab, and it was really tasty! It was also very reasonably priced, but slightly cheaper if you pay with cash. I was satisfied with this snack and would be happy to buy that again or try other menu items! Would recommend this place to anyone.

The only stand in the food court which served big plate chicken, as far as I could tell. Definitely worth a try if you haven't gotten it before! This would have been better if they gave a base of noodles or rice to enjoy with the chicken. The meat pastry which we got was small but good.

Super sick that they have a Uyghur stall at the New World Mall -- twas my first time trying out the cuisine and I'd go back. My friend and I split a chicken samsa and lamb samsa ($3 each). The breading was a lil thick but it hit the carb&meat craving. We both preferred the chicken samsa for its cumin-heavy seasoning, but lamb was good too!

This place is an absolute gem in Flushing! I can't believe it took me so long to discover! Food: I got the fried rice noodles, lamb shish kebab, and beef samsa. I could tell right away how authentic the food was because of the generous amount of seasoning and flavor. I specifically really like the noodles! All the items were delicious and I can't wait to go back and try more! Especially the plov. Service: The staff here is really nice! You can actually see them make the kebabs on skewers behind the counter which is really great. Ambiance: This place is located inside the food court of the New World mall so there's plenty of seating in the food court.

I got the lamb soup and it really wowed me! There was tons of lamb and the broth was incredibly flavorful. The water bottles are also only a dollar here which is pretty good if you're thirsty. The staff were super friendly as I ended up coming about 5 times for water for people at my table. There were some giant wheels of perfectly golden dough I wish I'd tried but. I was stuffed. Definitely would like to try more fro Mathis spot.

Wow!! Gotta show some support for this stall, their food is the real deal. I'm from Urumqi and always on the lookout for some authentic XinJiang food. I think they must be relatively new/opened during pandemic. Simple menu with all the classics in the back corner by bathrooms. I got the samsas and diced fried noodles and they were DELICIOUS!! When I was ordering I believe I saw that some of the workers were Uighur so was really excited. The samsa is crispy on the outside with thin skin and sesame seeds. Filling is that delicious aroma of fatty lamb and onion. Noodles were great - perfectly cooked and sauce is super flavorful. Highly recommend!!

Really happy to see some halal options in the New World Mall food cart! I've never tried Uyghur food before but really enjoyed my experience. Everyone was putting a lot of care and effort into making sure we got our orders. Their menu is very simple but doesn't state if items have any meat and if so, what kind. I would ask first. I got the beef samsa which was my favorite thing on the menu! It was delicious and tasted fresh. I wish it came with a dipping sauce tho! I also tried the dry fried noodles that I think came with beef (maybe lamb?) and those were delicious. Very spicy and similar to udon noodles. I also got the fried rice noodles that came with chicken. Also very spicy and had lot of broth. They give huge portions and pretty affordable for lamb items so I would check it out if you're in the area!

First time ever having Ugyhr food. I wasn't planning on coming here but I got so tired of eating at the other surrounding areas, I wanted to try something new. I got the number one, was bit pricey at 12 dollars. Pilaf with meat. I didn't do any research or even knew what I was getting myself into but was excited. The food came out instantly within a minute or two. The food was not bad but not good. The meat was soft and ripped apart from the bone smooth. But the flavor was very bland, like boiled beef flavor with zero seasoning or spice. The rice was good. Tasted kinda buttery sweet and soft orange pumpkin shreds were in it. Overall , it was very plain and I don't think it's worth 12 dollars , you can get a lot flavorful food with that money. Just for the experience , it was worth it. Caveman style bone with meat and very unique. I wouldn't recommend or come again though. There was also a ton of fat and bone barely any meat. The meat inside tasted kinda off too.

Definitely a hidden gem in the new world mall food court! So delicious their pan fried noodles are beyond my expectations! The chicken and potatoes are the best and very very authentic! You shall try!

Located inside New World Mall Food Court (lower floor of the mall). I know when you hear "mall food court" you may think it's so basic lol. But this food court is an experience -- Asian fusions, drinks, Chinese, Korean and Uyghur. I stopped at Tarim Uyghur Cuisine and they had keto-friendly options which were a plus! Most of the spots here were serving deep-fried, riced or noodle dishes. The lamb shish Kebab here is amaze! Lightly sauced, juicy and very spiced up -- cumin, chili flakes, lemon juice and garlic. Really unique experience! :) The people that run this place speak Mandarin, English and Uyghur.

Muslim Chinese food in Queens, yo. I did not eat a full meal here, but I did get down on their marinated lamb skewer ($2.99). About the snack itself, the cooks marinated it with an atom bomb of flavor (lots of cumin) and perfectly grill it (soft inside, nice texture outside). I don't think I've experienced a better skewer. If you fill up on other foods in this food court, take a minute to grab a snack at Tarim Ugyhur Food.
