New Nurlan Uyghur restaurant

First time trying Uyghur cuisine and it was fire. These folks really came through with some banger halal food. The restaurant is inside a Best Western hotel down in the basement. Only one person working the front and most of the tables were full. We took our order to go. This is a really unique cuisine you do not find everywhere. Portions were good and the flavors felt authentic, comforting, and satisfying. Lamb polo was solid. Tender lamb with carrots, not spicy, and great for kids. The steamed BBQ had similar meat to the lamb polo, served with corn and onions. Lamb and beef kawap were good, though personally a little heavy on the cumin for me. Laghman was simply great. Chewy hand pulled noodles with rich, spicy meat and veggies. Chili chicken was good. Sauteed beef with scallions was p

We love Uyghur food especially Lamb Polo. The polo here is the best I had in NYC. We also ordered the lamb soup which is good but a bit too salty, however the lamb is very tender and tasty. The lamb kawaps were very good, juicy and tasty, but the lamp chop was tough and tasteless which I don’t understand. Shouldn’t they be marinated the same way? We also ordered thin-skin steamed mantas, the onion and meat one is very good, but the squash meat one was lack of flavor. Next time I’ll stick with the onion meat ones. Overall, the food is very good, worth a trip.

Let me first say, this place was hard to find when first visiting. It's in a hotel, lower level. I've been to this place twice, they are consistent with their food and service. Friendly service and delicious food. Very authentic and hearty. Portions are big ans shareable. Everytime I got to flushing, I'm always in the mood for Uyghur food, and it always hits the spot. Pricing is great too. Definitely check them out.

Recommend the ding ding noodles and the big plate chicken. Food was flavorful and slightly numbing — nice halal option in flushing when you’re craving noodles. Will need to come back for the baked meat buns and kebabs

This is a really delicious Xinjiang restaurant. It is located in the basement of a hotel. The space is small but beautifully decorated, filled with authentic Xinjiang touches. The atmosphere is cozy and warm, with patterned carpets, copper teapots, and a few traditional ornaments that make it feel inviting. There were four of us that day. We had just finished a long hike and were tired and very hungry. We ordered a medium Big Plate Chicken, five Lamb Kawaps (skewers), four Meat Samsas, and one Lamb Polo (rice). The Big Plate Chicken was very tender and flavorful. The sauce was rich and spicy, maybe a bit too spicy for me. I drank around seven or eight cups of water during the meal, but that also showed how tasty it was. The handmade noodles served with the chicken were perfectly chewy an
