"Founded in 2010 by an ambitious Uyghur entrepreneur named Sirajidin Kerim, Silk Road Tarim Uyghur Restaurant is one of the only places in Tokyo serving traditional dishes from Xinjiang. This region in northwestern China has its own distinct cuisine heavily influenced by its position along the old Silk Road. Cumin, dried chiles, and other spices feature prominently in many staples, which tend to eschew pork in favor of chicken, beef, or lamb, in keeping with halal. Order the hand-pulled noodles, gosh manta (lamb buns), and the perpetually popular “big tray chicken,” a hearty specialty with bone-in chicken and chunks of potatoes swimming in puddles of flavorful chile oil. Know Before You Go The restaurant is located in Nishi-Shinjuku, more or less 15 minutes by walk from Shinjuku Station if you exit from one of its South Exits. It can be also accessed from Hatsudai or Sangubashi station." - Fred Cherrygarden, linkogecko

All the dishes were in general good/delicious but this is my first time having Uyghur meal. We arrived at 12:09am at 12:53pm (an hour after—all our orders arrive at 1:10pm) we are still waiting for almost all our other orders. They mentioned pilaf will take time but all other orders took time. I guess this is good that they are really cooking only after ordering but it also takes so much of our time. The prices are not cheap here. You would think you’ll save more by ordering the courses but you’ll be better off ordering what you want but it’s really expensive I think. More expensive than even typical Japanese restaurants. The whole place smells of food, you will be smelling like Uyghur food because their kitchen doesn’t have proper air ventilation. The noodles seem to be homemade here so that is good. The thickness of the noodles differs so the taste also depends. The thicker noodles are still quite hard to bite.

Easy to find. Since we didn't make a reservation we got seated at the counter. I believe I had fried noodles (I was pretty tired so I immediately forgot what I ordered) and it was great. Also had chicken skewers which were just as great. It's a Uyghur restaurant so you can expect great food and halal meats.

First time trying Uyghur food. Not too bad. Hand pull noodles are definitely the highlight. We ordered lamb’s tongue salad and lamb pastry as starters. They were great. I had never realised that lamb tongue could be so yummy. We then ordered a daipanji (big plate chicken) and a lamb pilaf for main. I heard a lot of microwave ‘ding’ sound going on and felt a bit disappointed. The chicken in the daipanji dish was not fresh. It was rather dry. Half a dish was just bell peppers. The lamb pilaf was not piping hot either. The meat, again, was dry. The portion size wasn’t really generous so we ordered a leghman (hand pull noodles in spicy sauce). It was the best main dish but, again, the meat was not fresh and a bit dry. Everything was flavourful but I felt quite thirsty after half an hour. Not sure if I would visit for the second time. The meal was about 5,000 for 2 people.

It's my first time eating in Uygur Restaurant. The recommendation food is Uygur Style Pilaf which is suitable for toddlers. Because the taste is soft and meat chunk is tender too. Mostly here is lamb and chicken based food only several food is beef. Actually I don't really like lambs, but when I tried their stew kebab, I enjoyed it. So it's recommended dishes for lamb beginner 😁 This place is quite close to Shinjuku Park, so it's can be a good place to eat after playing with your family. 👍

We waited very long for food and then Literally each dish came one at a time each with 10 min between each other. Food was very bad, i normally love uygur food but this was literally inedible, i never choose food and my standards are normally very low but this is unacceptable. The buns tasted like it was loaded with baking soda. You take a bite of the meat so many bones inside that break into a bunch of pieces I couldnt even eat it. Waiter was also not helpful or friendly. Despite all this the food was expensive so i would expect much more.

Uighur food is a mix of Chinese and Turkish cuisine. I love both so I greatly enjoyed eating here. Especially the lamb and beef dishes were awesome! Interior is also cozy.

Sometimes people say about their favourite eatery in exaggeration “It was as if going to an overseas country through exotic cuisine!”, but usually not that much. However, I must say that really is the bull’s-eye, pertinent comment to describe this Uyghur restaurant. Surely will come back soon!

Had Uyghur food for the first time here. Nice place with friendly staff. Had a lamb meatloaf and spicy chicken and vegetable dish with flat noodles, quite tasty. The pricing is a bit expensive for the quantity, but considering the location and taste of the food, it’s quite alright. In case you’ve not tried Uyghur cuisine, this would be a good place to start.
