Kashkar Cafe

"I came on a weekday night for dinner. The food was delicious and flavorful. I enjoyed all the dishes we ordered. My favorite was the tsomyan. The fried dough reminds me of flat, wide noodles in a square shape and pairs well with the lamb and veggies. The fried manti and kebabs were bigger than I thought. They were savory and cooked perfectly. I’ve never tried Uyghur cuisine before but I will definitely be returning."

"This place gives off cozy and old/historical vibes. Food wasn’t so much of a taste. But the best part is the food is HALAL and cooked by Muslims. The Pollo/Pulov had so much oil that we extracted in another plate. It is very expensive with a very small portion of food. The service is very good though. It would get 5 stars for all the down sides. Parking is not easy but if you are lucky, you’ll find parking in the streets. The kebabs are a small portion as well but tasted better."

"A very lovely Uygur family restaurant. It's very homemade. I deeply believed its food doesn't excite your taste buds as much as other similar restaurant because lacking of MSG."

"This place feels intimate, and you get the feeling that the customers who sit at the tables are carefully assessing your presence as an outsider. The older people who are native to the Kashkar culture are very wise and traditional people. They drink from porcelain tea pots and speak comfortably at their tables with other members of their group. Their bathroom is kind of in need of some repair, but overall the place is welcoming and warm. The food is incredible tasting, well seasoned and well cooked. My only small complaint is that the food amount vs. price ratio is not very well balanced. You’d expect a larger portion for some of the food plates but that’s ok, because it’s not a buffet and more of a cultural gem to behold and savor. Feels very authentic, a bit humbled but very accommodating and friendly service."

"Wow. I wasn’t expecting such good food at this hole in the wall restaurant. They have maybe six tables and their kitchen is smaller than mine but boy can they cook good food. It’s best to go with a larger party so you can order a lot of dishes and share. Be adventurous! Try Uyghur food here !"
