Silk Road Uyghur Cuisine

"Delicious food. I would even say they put too much meat (no such thing!). Try it out if you are looking for something different. The spicy sauce reminded me of mala sauce mixed with Indian spices. It's an interesting flavor I hadn't had before. Recommended!"

"Incredible Uyghur food!! We have been here several years ago and recently returned and everything was still amazing. Skewers were the best we’ve had in a while. Diced noodles and lamb rice also delicious. The owner specially brewed a pot of tea for us despite it not being on the menu. Great service. Small but fast and the tables were always churning. Highly recommend!"

"Visited this place few days back on our trip to Boston. We were looking for halal places to eat & found this. The food was fresh & delicious. It was our first time trying the Uyghur cuisine & we loved it. Their service was amazing too."

"I can't believe I finally found one of the rarest fines I've ever met. It is literally the Muslim Chinese tribe and I was excited and happy to support my phone. Muslims besides the food was great too. My kids ate up those dumplings!"

"It's quite a trip to return to an area where I lived for more than two decades, which I left several years before I reverted to Islam, and now to experience it as a Muslim. I now have to make sure the places I eat are halal. That means not only that pork and alcohol don't enter the kitchen, but all the meat and poultry must be halal slaughtered. It's an opportunity, not a limitation. Some restaurants that intrigued me for years when I lived here are now a very good idea. This Uighur-run storefront in East Cambridge is just one example. The cuisine partakes of Chinese, Central Asian, and Indian influences. That bread is called "naan" like its Indian cousin, but it's thicker and more flavorful. A divine beef and onion stir-fry is far better than any stir-fry I've tasted in a couple of decades. Portion sizes are generous, too."
