Eerkins Uyghur Cuisine

"This is my happy place! The food is amazing. The best lamb that I had in the entire dc metro area. Tender properly seasoned and cooked. All kabobs are top quality. Same level of hospitality and food quickly every time I visits this restaurant."

"Went a couple weeks ago, and really enjoyed the food! The lamb had a really deep flavor, and the noodles had a nice chew. It’s a small little restaurant good for a casual lunch or dinner. Prices are reasonable considering the area. Servers were very nice. Only wish they had better water cups as they used the red large ones."

"I just found my new favourite restaurant after eating here for the first time! I tried many of the dishes here and they were so delicious! There is a huge variety of dishes with everything ranging from noodles to kebab so there is something for everyone. My favourite dish I tried here was the lamb shank with the traditional Uyghur sauce. The meat is very tender and the sauce has a very unique flavour to it. The naan here is the best I’ve ever had. My waiter was extremely friendly, attentive, and pleasant. She gave us suggestions on what to order and we had good conversation about culture with her. All the waiters here are Uyghur so it is a great representation of the culture and food here. I like the paintings on the wall and it is well decorated. The dining experience is very authentic and definitely worth the price! I definitely will come back to this place again!"

"incredibly delicious food! very unique cuisine. it’s pretty small inside, so you’ll be close to your neighbors but you still have plenty of room. not much atmosphere to speak of, but who cares when the food is as good as it is? 10/10 would recommend"

"I love this restaurant! Every dishes were so delicious. The waiter who served our table was so friendly, nice and polite. We ordered what he recommended. Egg plant salad, Noodle ( the top of the menu, sorry I forget the name…), Lamb skewers, Dumpling Soup, and Uyghur Cake. The noodle is nice flavor and chicken was so tender. The lamb tasted amazing, soft and nice spices. The cake was not overly sweet, nice thick pie layer:)"
