"Chef Abdul Samad’s restaurant is one of a small handful that proudly celebrate Uyghur cuisine in a city where it was once overlooked. Garnering some rightful attention, Miran presents a dizzying spread of grilled, stewed, braised, and skewered meats, though diners will also find comforting quail soup, delightfully chewy hand-pulled lagman noodles, and tandoor-baked samsa (meticulous pockets of dough stuffed with minced lamb and onions). The expansive Ville Saint-Laurent strip mall locale has seating for more than 100." - Valerie Silva

"Classic Uyghur cuisine and gracious hospitality await at this Ville St-Laurent restaurant suitable for small and large groups. Miran’s tandoor is put to full use, with lamb-stuffed samsa, cumin-laced kebabs on ornate skewers, and tandoori lamb for a crowd (with 24-hour notice). Don’t miss their handmade noodles, round Uyghur naan, or the rich pilov, laced with melt-in-your-mouth carrots. Reservations recommended on weekends." - Ivy Lerner-Frank
"Uyghur cuisine remains largely uncelebrated in Montreal, but among those making it, this restaurant from chef Abdul Samad in a Ville Saint-Laurent strip mall offers some of the best. Grilled, stewed, and braised meats are a big draw here alongside flavorful lamb kebabs, lamb soup, hand-pulled laghman noodles, and their traditional samsa, half-moon shaped meat pastries baked in a tandoor." - JP Karwacki
"This Uyghur restaurant in Ville Saint-Laurent offers the fasting faithful complementary watermelon, dates, and traditional naan bread before the hearty main meal event: Meat—grilled, stewed, and braised—play a major role in this cuisine, with the restaurant’s signature da pan ji made with quail, lamb kebabs, lamb soup, and homemade, hand-pulled laghman noodles. Don’t miss the tandoor samsa, half-moon shaped meat pastries baked in a tandoor." - Ivy Lerner-Frank
