Uyghur specialties: lamb skewers, noodles, dumplings, honey cake
"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

"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
"Pashaq — lambs’ trotters — are rendered joyful rather than tedious: five feet joined by gelatinous collagen that fall off the bone, each little joint to be sucked clean of a savoury, spicy sauce; the leftover sauce becomes ideal for dunking an escalope sandwich, creating a memorable Uighur-Italian hybrid experience in an oddly transitional cafe setting." - Daisy Meager
