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

"A warm, comforting meat and onion pastry for chilly winter days, a cold, refreshing noodle salad for the warmer ones, and steamed lamb dumplings for all the times in between. Turpan is perfect for anytime you need a homely meal in central. A small Uyghur spot on Great Russell Street, it’s the kind of casual place you pop into after work with a group of friends to split a big plate chicken (which by the way is big), or on your own to inhale a plate of thick leghmen noodles while scrolling through Twitter. It matters less how you use this restaurant and more that you finish with the nutty honey cake and tea when you do." - jake missing, rianne shlebak

The Best Halal Restaurants in London | Where to Eat Halal in London | Eater London

"Turpan is a pleasant respite from the hell that has become Tottenham Court Road/New Oxford Street. Located on the somewhat quieter Great Russell Street, Turpan is a Uyghur restaurant serving up the increasingly familiar dishes of “big plate chicken,” leghmen, and lamb polu to proudly savvy Londoners. If the time is available, the usually-less-than 25 minute wait for the pitir manta, hefty, fragrant steamed lamb dumplings is worth it, as are the cumin lamb skewers and cold, marinated beef tongue slices. If the weather is friendly, try sitting outside." - Maazin Buhari

Out of the way place but worth it!. We had the lamb soup - oh my what a treat! I'd got there just for that. Mains were lamb flat bread - it was nice but could do with more spice. The dumplings were amazing with the chilli oil. We had warm milky tea to finish. We were also given a complimentary rice pudding - I don't normally like it - but wow what a treat!!. Definitely will go again & try more of the menu. 👌 Worth the wait for the food as it's hot & fresh. Do go & try it. The young waiter was really knowledgeable & helpful in food choices.

It was my first time in a Uyghur restaurant, and it was very interesting. The soup was really good—I could tell the lamb was fresh and of high quality. The noodles were very spicy, but just as they were meant to be

Really enjoyed my visit to Turpan Uyghur Restaurant. The food felt like a mix between Central Asian and a bit of South Asian flavors. The lamb pilaf was amazing, very close to Kabuli Pulao, and the chicken pachaq was delicious too. For starters, I had the Uyghur kawap (lamb seekh), samsa (crispy beef pie), and a fresh Uyghur salad – all really good. They even served a complimentary rice pudding at the end, which was a nice, sweet touch. Would definitely come back!

This was our first time trying Uyghur food - such unique and exciting flavour profiles! We ordered Marjan Chop (homemade chopped noodles), Goshnan (bread with minced lamb), Chochure (minced lamb ravioli with soup), and lamb and chicken skewers. The spices in all the dishes were incredible - we especially loved the lamb skewers! The Chochure soup was outstanding as well - we spent ages trying to figure out what ingredients created such amazing flavours.

The Uyghur dishes were a delightful culinary experience. The seasoning was expertly balanced, enhancing the natural flavors of the ingredients. Each bite was a burst of deliciousness, leaving a pleasant warmth on the palate. The textures were varied and satisfying, creating a truly memorable meal. I highly recommend trying these expertly prepared dishes. The tea offers a truly exceptional experience. The delicate leaves unfurl beautifully in hot water, releasing a captivating aroma. The flavor is nuanced and refreshing, a welcome change from ordinary bagged teas. It's evident that this tea is crafted with care, from the careful selection of leaves to the elegant packaging. This is a delightful tea to savor and share.

We had the Leghmen & Ugre (beef soup). Soup was delicious 11/10. Leghmen fantastic also, you can indeed feel the freshly made hand-pulled noodles, I found the portion of beef to be very little inside the dish but it’s expensive these days so all good. Dumplings were okay, could improve on taste slightly. Overall the experience was fantastic. I recommend you to visit this very costly Uyghur restaurant. The staff were ever so kind To let me pray in their store room, for which I am extremely grateful for. 11/10

Absolutely planning on coming back here again. The food is so good, reminding me of home. This was my first time, eating Uyghur food, and I was not disappointed. Every dish tasted wonderful and was spiced perfectly. These plates were definitely made to share because the portion sizes are generous. This experience was definitely worth the money and time it took us to travel here.
