The 6 Best Uyghur Restaurants In London - London - The Infatuation

"The O2 Centre is one of north London’s great, gleaming eyesores but wander up the relentlessly grey Finchley Road and you’ll find one of London’s best north western Chinese specialists. Stag City is deceptively big—full of comfy banquettes for twos, fours, or more. Come here safe in the knowledge that this homely space can fit serious numbers. The menu extends to favourites like kung pao chicken and mapo tofu, but it’s the Xinjiang dishes you should concentrate on. The ding ding noodles (hand-pulled noodles that start out whole before being chopped into bouncy little chunks) are deliciously stir-fried in an umami-ish tomato sauce with lamb and vegetables, and the big plate chicken is suitably elastic and filling." - jake missing, rianne shlebak

Stag City - Review - West Hampstead - London - The Infatuation

"The O2 Centre is one of north London’s great, gleaming eyesores but wander up the relentlessly grey Finchley Road and you’ll find one of London’s best north western Chinese specialists.

Where to Eat in London This Weekend | Best London Restaurants | Eater London

"Positioned as a halal celebration of Western Chinese cooking, this restaurant aims to represent the culinary traditions of Xinjiang and neighbouring areas for a diverse, often Muslim, clientele. Hand-pulled laghman noodles are offered in multiple iterations, big plate chicken (representing Shawan) dominates the table, cumin- and chilli-spiked lamb skewers glisten alongside a mountain of plov, and the overall menu reflects the regional staples and flavours of western China adapted for a London setting." - Anna Sulan Masing

This restaurant specializes in BBQ lamb and noodles with cumin. The food quality was good and service was very prompt. The BBQ lamb was nicely done although it’s a bit fatty by nature; there’s chicken if you prefer more lean meat. Hand made noodles were a nice change. I did try the Xinzhang beer. Unimpressive - sorry. Friendly staff were very helpful explaining items from the large menu. There are popular Chinese dishes as well as Xinzhang specialties. It’s a nice place for a change of menu. Easy to get to also. Apologies for the photos: half eaten dishes because I was too busy enjoying the food.

We had the beef fried rice, the salt and pepper squid, the hand pulled noodles with lamb, and two skewers of BBQ fried pork intestine. The fried rice wasn’t bad, lacking some oomph but overall tasted fine. The squid was good in flavor (make sure you like garlic!) The hand pulled noodles could’ve had more meat to balance the ratio of veg to meat to noodles, but overall decent. The intestine skewers could’ve been cooked a little bit longer; ideally, intestines cooked in this method should be nice and crispy, but it was cleaned thoroughly. Overall, it’s not bad for what it is, but it’s certainly not the best and we’re sure there are other options in the city.

Great place to get some western style Chinese food! Came here on a Tuesday evening. Made a reservation but didn't need one as there were a lot of tables available then. Started with the Sauteed Lamb Naan. Fantastic start to the meal as it had a very pronounced cumin flavours. These flavours were present throughout the meal and worked well in combinations with the other spices. Then got a couple of lamb skewers which I would very much recommend! Also got some dumplings and the special noodles which had a mixture of meats. I went a week or two ago and the real stand outs for me were the Sautéed Lamb Naan and the the skewers

I recently visited Stag City and was blown away! The hand-stretched noodles with beef were beautifully prepared, and the sweet & sour chicken was perfectly balanced—fantastic flavors and at such a reasonable price. The cherry on top? It’s pet-friendly, so we could bring our furry friend along. Amazing restaurant experience overall, and we’ll definitely be returning!

Great little find on Finchley road. Nice menu, good food. Service is a mixed bag. Disappointed to see after washing my hands at the end of the meal the state of the toilet 🚽. It doesn't look like they do much of a clean during service hours which left a last sour taste at the end of the night. The food was good, but ask me in the morning and I might have changed my mind... ! 🙈

I recently dined at this restaurant and was impressed. The stir-fried noodles were chewy and flavorful, with a perfect mix of vegetables and beef. The lamb skewers were tender and juicy, with a balanced smoky seasoning. The cowbean with peppers and leeks was another highlight, featuring succulent beef and a refreshing crunch from the vegetables. Overall, the dishes were high quality and well-prepared. Highly recommend this restaurant for delicious, authentic flavors. Can't wait to return and try more dishes!

Always a delight dining at Stag City. I came back specifically for the Spare ribs. Quite sincerely it rates among one of the best I have had. Also had the egg fried rice with beef which I will describe as decent.

We ordered 丁丁炒面 (diced noodles), lamb skewers, and 酸辣汤 (hot and sour soup) — everything was absolutely delicious! The 丁丁炒面 had the perfect texture and flavour, the lamb skewers were juicy and well-seasoned with just the right amount of char, and the 酸辣汤 was comforting with a nice spicy kick. It’s not easy to find good, authentic Xinjiang-style food in London, but Stag City really delivers. Highly recommend for anyone craving something bold and satisfying
