What to Order

Laghman (Hand-Pulled Noodles)

Thick, chewy noodles hand-stretched to order and tossed with stir-fried lamb, peppers, and a punchy cumin-chili sauce.

Lamb Polo (Uyghur Pilaf)

Fragrant long-grain rice cooked with tender braised lamb, carrots, and warming spices for a soulful, communal centerpiece.

Wood-Grilled Lamb Skewers

Charred-on-the-edges skewers seasoned with cumin and pepper — smoky, spicy, and irresistibly handheld.
