Diners head here for generous heaps of stir-fried flat noodles tossed with chilli and garlic chives, alongside charred ziq kawap lamb skewers pulled straight from the fire. Flaky beef-filled gosh nan pastry rounds out tables meant for sharing, with Central Asian melodies playing against tapestry-hung walls.

  • Central Asian Visual Storytelling

    Informative video screens display noodle-making techniques and Central Asian scenery, enriching the overall visit.

    Super great service and we thought it was funny (and also informative tbf) the tv with views of Central Asia, plus later a video is someone making langman which was fun to watch.

  • Achchiq Chop Noodles

    The flat noodles were very good, interspersed with sliced onions, bell pepper and of course, sliced beef. Everything was cooked perfectly. The spice level was fantastic, and the quantity was 🤩.
