Urumchi Uyghur Restaurant London

Really loved the food here and the service was excellent! I came here with my mum and we really enjoyed the food. The owner is such a lovely man, he greeted us at the door and made us feel really welcome. It’s a cosy little place with outdoor seating and the prices are very reasonable. I’d definitely recommend the Uyghur legmen and polo they were both really good. I’ll definitely be coming back to try some of the other dishes! 🥹✨

Ate on the 7/6/2026. + Amazing price to portion sizes (£14 is a good entry price point and cheaper than the rest; Especially in London) + Kind staff + Best unique food in London + Amazing hospitality + Gave free tea and an Uigher Kheer with cinnamon sprinkled on top. + Chicken tasted so unique. We ordered... * 2 Qoruma Chop * 1 Chicken Shish * 1 Lamb skewer kebab * 1 Laziji Mother loved the salad so much she asked for the recipe. Definitely recommend. Most foods are the same things but foods…

Delicious food. I tasted both the vegetarian option with tofu, two dishes with two kinds of homemade noodles and the dish I ordered: the beef and mushrooms with rice. We also had the samsa. All were very tasty. The four dishes arrived at different times so the last person had to wait a bit compared to the person who was served last but it’s the only “negative” thing I have to say, everything else was great.

Tasty food in a busy environment! I got the mala tofu and hand-pulled noodles - the noodles were fantastic and chewy, and the tofu sauce was sweet and rich (but sadly lacking in sichuan spice). We also tried the rice pudding and honey cake for dessert and both were lovely. We sat outside on the street as the restaurant was full inside - if you can get a table inside I recommend that instead! The service was friendly and efficient, we were looked after well

Never tried Uyghur cuisine before, and now I’m wondering why it took me this long. Urumchi serves a really interesting blend of Central Asian, Middle Eastern, and East Asian (Chinese) flavours, and you can taste influences from all three cuisines in the best way possible. Everything we ordered was bold, rich, and full of flavour. We had the beef salad, chicken shish, aubergine, beef noodles, Lajiji, and mala tofu. The beef noodles were probably my favourite. It’s freshly made. Chewy noodles…
