Dilara in Hackney

Food was good and generous portions.waiting time was a bit long

First time trying Uyghur cuisine. The hand-pulled noodles with lamb were delicious. The service was very friendly and there was a good atmosphere. Would definitely recommend. Looking forward to trying dumplings next time.

really loved their uyghur food. The resturant was very clean and great customer service .

Delicious food , lovely stuff, cosy environment.

My Uyghur xinjiang go to place as always in North London.

Amazing food and service! Would definitely recommend.

It was one of my worst ever food experiences... the food took forever to come although the place wasn't that busy there were only 3 tables to serve including ours....and when the food finally came it was awful mostly very over chared and the other dishes tasted of nothing and of course it didn't worth the money we paid....never ever again🤮

I went to this lovely restaurant with a friend of mine. As soon as we arrived we received a warm welcome and we placed our order instantly. The food was delicious ( better than what I was expecting), the staff members were incredibly friendly! I highly recommend this restaurant ! I look forward to attending to this restaurant with my loved ones! Thank you 😊

Second time we’ve come here in two weeks, we want to try all the hand pulled noodle dishes. They’re so good and hearty, there is a beef and hand pulled noodle dish for 3 people which takes an hour to prepare and cook. That’s on the cards next time

Went here before the football with some friends as I was looking forward to trying this place for a while. The food was great, tasted excellent and really flavoursome, however, be prepared to wait for a while for some dishes. They claim you'll need to wait for 20 mins for some dishes, but it will be closer to double that amount of time. The waiter who served us was rather forgetful too as he had forgotten one key dish we were looking to try and by the time we raised it to him, he asked whether we'd like to cancel it as it will take a while for it to cook. I appreciate human mistakes happen, but there was a casual attitude to the poor service rather than rectify the mistake with any good will gesture. I may give this place a chance again or try another Uyrghur cuisine elsewhere.

Really good food. A nice fusion of Tibetan, Turkish and Chinese cuisine would be the best way to describe the Uyghur cuisine I guess.

Come to eat from south over 5 times

Wonderful food and service. The milk tea is a must try.

Felt like it had been adapted to local tastes as it seemed like there were some elements of your standard Asian takeout but the dumplings and steam buns were good and seemed most authentic. Staff were friendly great.

This week in London, I had the incredible experience of dining at an amazing spot recommended by a local friend. The flavors were simply delightful! The service was outstanding, and the caring staff truly made the visit memorable.

Excellent food, amazing hand-pulled noodles!

Ridiculous, ordered for table of 10 at 6pm. Kebabs, rice and noodles dishes. 1hr for the first dish, 1.40hr and still waiting for a kebab platter. A plain bowl of rice took 1hr. Rice and ribs took 1.40hr to serve.. other groups came in after and left before us. Still here waiting for 2 more dishes at 7.40pm they forgot one hummus dish, so we're going to ask for it off. And one dish they forgot to make and gave something else? Service is terrible. People spoke their language and were friendly with the staff for their food earlier. Having to ask for the remaining kebab platter to go. Hand made noodles were nice. Very meh and very expensive.

We booked a table for 10 and placed our orders before the restaurant got too busy. There were other groups that also came after us. Overall, we ended up waiting about 45 minutes for the first batch of food and the second came almost another hour. Some from our group left and the children were hungry for theirs so I ended sharing them mine. The groups that came after us, got their food before us, so I guess it depend on what you ordered, I believe the grilled/kebab meat took longer. One of the dish requested was told that it will take longer to make and offered an alternative over an hour later. Also, some sides were forgotten but we weren't charged for it nor did they charged service charge. Overall, staff were friendly, nice atmosphere and really good food. Just a shame that they weren't prepared for our group. Would really help if they had more staff.

Excellent food at this casual restaurant. The lamb skewers are delicious and cooked to perfection. The menu is extensive so would suggest asking the staff for advice if you aren't familiar. Plenty of options, ensure to clarify on size of dishes on your order too to avoid overordering!

very good food and friendly staff

Super nice food, we had the lamb kebabs, pulled noodles and dumplings, all were great. Friendly service

Food ok but servers extremely rude. The waiter could barely speak English and got very aggressive with me when I couldn't understand what his explanation of the kebab selection meant.

Lovely restaurant , Amazing staff

Great Uyghur cuisine food and friendly staff :) will come again

Very tasty and authentic food, we loved it - especially the dumplings!

Lovely restaurant with friendly staff. Food is also amazing I would highly recommend coming here. Will definitely be coming again 5 stars

The food was expensive for the one we get, cause the ingrdients was too little for the price, about the service i would say bad, the waiter doesn’t know english as a result he did not understand the order, after waiting for 30 minutes he brought us wrong order and we had to wait extra 20 minutes.i would not recommend.it is not suitable for mum with babies and toddlers. They have only one dirty high chair. Poor service and poor atmosphere

They have the sweetest waitress and she really make sures you get your order in time. I would highly recommend! The food is really nice and the atmosphere is amazing too overall a very good experience .

Restaurant so good it’s my first ansian restaurant of london and it is so crazy! Thank you verry much bro

Very good experience for out first time in a Uyghur Restaurant. It was very good !

Excellent restaurant. All the dishes we chose were delicious. The noodles are made on site. I recommend 10000%, really good and the service is top notch.

Really delicious foods!! Best Uyghur I had in London!! Everything is very cleaned ~ Nice and friendly staffs as well

Incredible, homemade food unlike anything else in the area. The service is fantastic and they kindly accommodated my friend's peanut allergy. I love eating here and look forward to my next meal.

Delicious food and lovely service. We’ll be back!

The fried rice noodles are especially delicious! ! The dishes are large and delicious, suitable for more people to eat

Wow, what a absolute gem of a place! The food was sooooo good and wholesome. I will be back very soon!!

Lovely restaurant near Finsbury Park Station to try Uyghur food - highly recommended

Incredible food! So very tasty!! All made fresh. Excellent and friendly service. We had great recommendations and were super impressed. Will definitely tell my friends to go! One of my favourite restaurants now!

Absolutely phenomenal food, service and staff. Must try - won’t regret it

Delicious noodles. They are handmade so may take some time but they are worth it.

First time and the food was delicious.loved watching them make fresh noodles and cook the food. Clean, and tidy and very helpful and friendly staff. I will definitely be back the next time I am in London.

Incredible scenes , we had the big sharing lamb plate , really tasty

First class service and direction through the menu. No.13 is incredible!

Great food, very clean and lovely service staff as well as reasonably priced. The baklava is one of the best I’ve ever had

Had a great experience at Dilara Uyghur Restaurant in Finsbury Park! The food was delicious and authentic, with a diverse menu offering plenty of options. The staff were friendly, the place was clean, and it’s conveniently close to the tube station. Definitely worth a visit for an authentic Uyghur food experience in London

Very friendly and delicious food

Gooooooood! Sooooooo good!!!!!!!

Amazing restaurant. The food are tasty. The portion was large. We almost couldn't finish it. Went there twice on different occasions. Firstly had the leghman noodles, kebabs, uygurs polo, herbal tea and fried green bean(?). Pricing was ok. Taste good. It actually tasted like something, unlike a lot of food in london. The noodles were chewy and tasty. Had a lot of lamb meat. I like the polo too. The rice is like pilaf or Britain rather than short grain rice. Interesting. Their kebab is slightly fried. The tea also very nice. It has roses, etc. Halal as well. Come hungry and in big groups, you'll be happy.

All the food we had was amazing!

The food at Dilara is always very good. The staff is friendly and are always ready to help. We will definitely come back soon.

I had an incredible dining experience at this Uyghur restaurant! The flavors were rich, the portions were generous, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The Big Plate Chicken (Dapanji) was absolutely delicious – tender chicken, perfectly cooked potatoes, and a flavorful, slightly spicy sauce that paired perfectly with hand-pulled noodles. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for authentic Uyghur food, this place is a must-visit! Highly recommended!

A very, very highly recommended Xinjiang dish! ! ! ! Delicious and affordable! ! Will come again😊😊😊

Amazing experience, the staff are so friendly and welcoming. The food is incredible and portion sizes are huge! Definitely go!

Great food, everyone was really friendly - would recommend :)

Great food and brilliant service! Highly recommend!

Same taste as you would get in some parts of Xinjiang. Very responsive service. Good calm atmosphere.

Very Good food. The Samsa is a delicious treat for lovers of kofte-style meat. Waiters were very friendly. 10/10.

Delicious food and generous servings! The staff is super friendly and welcoming as well. Finsbury Park’s hidden gem!

Delicious dumplings, cosy atmosphere and lovely service 🥰

Great spot. Traditional food. Amazing noodles. Super spicy!

One of the best restaurants I’ve been to - coming back soon! Thanks for a great evening!

Really nice after bowling. Get the hand pulled noodles. Friendly service.

The best restaurant I’ve been to in the UK. I highly recommend everyone to go there. The place is very clean, the food is delicious, and the staff are very friendly.

Extremely poor service. No communication. Assured me it was a 20 min wait and ended up being more than an hour for takeaway. There was no dinner rush either, just a few customers.

Great service and amazing food!

I really wanted to like this place… I’ve visited twice over the last few weeks. Incredibly slow service and no consistency in the quality on the food. The first time we came, it took an hour for our main dish to come. I was annoyed but assumed this type of thing would be a one off. This happened again when we visited today with friends but this time, the noodle dish we ordered didn’t come at all. No communication from staff… The Uyghur Tortellini was great when we came the first time and terrible this time. The broth tasted like oily water. I won’t even begin to talk about the prices. We paid £26 for rice and lamb which had about 5 shreds of lamb. The same goes for the noodle dish we DID receive. As we were leaving, we heard a couple saying they had been waiting OVER AN HOUR for their food! There are much bette replaces to eat in Finsbury Park… don’t waste your time coming here.

Wonderful food!!!! Well seasoned and fresh :) Attentive staff and a clean and cozy environment. Phenomenal!

Restaurant looks really nice went there with my partner and it wasn't the best food I've tasted the price is not worth the food and the first dish we actually got served had hair in it I told the waiter straight away as they put the food on the table and was given a discount what was good but the food wasn't that great and it is cold out you would expect the restaurant to have okay heating but there wasn't and I had to wear my hat and scarf and coat inside I won't be coming back here until improvements are made

we ordered food, it's not worth the money. i really regret ordering from them. very few portions

Really great portion sizes and interestingly flavored food! Real gem in the area.

Wonderful Uyghur Restaurant! The meal is very delicious! The host is very kind! Thanks a lot for every thing!

The food is very tasty and delicious. It's a beautiful place. I definitely recommend it.

Nice lady and good recommendation 🙏

Great food, really friendly staff and great service.

La bandeja mixta era de 62 libras. Arroz llano , pan, pollo cortado en dados y cordero con una especia mínima encima del pan. Pequeña porción de chile y salsa de ajo y un poco de ensalada. La ensalada sabrosa y la carne cocinada bien, pero podría comprar esto por aproximadamente £ 25 en cualquier restaurante turco. Muy caro. Elección de agua, lata de pop efervescente o té. No volveré.

Great fusion, chilled atmosphere to share you dining experience with friends and family! Thank you for hosting our Christmas staff dinner 🍽 😋

While passing through London, we came across this address by chance, we had some takeaway meals and we were not disappointed! In addition, we were very well received! Thank you very much, I recommend!

The food here is amazing, tastes great and good service as well.Friendly staff

We came here for a work lunch and everyone was over the moon with every single dish! Amazing service and lovely staff! Would 100% recommend. Thank you once again :)

Amazing Uyghur Cuisine! This was hands down the best kebab I've had all year. The staff were exceptional, offering outstanding service, and the place was spotless. The food was prepared to an excellent standard and tasted incredible. I highly recommend it!

First time trying this place and it was so good!! The noodles were handmade and everything tasted so fresh! Will definitely return

Unusual and very tasty food, very friendly service.

Came here with son and grandson. Very baby friendly, good Uyghur food, warm and friendly service. We are planning to come back .

Comfortable, homely and welcoming Uyghur restaurant with lamb kebabs and delicious noodles with a proper freshly-made springiness to them.

Love this place. Incredibly tasty and original food, quite unusual in London. Pretty spicy but I love that. The service is great and the staff are super friendly. Hand pulled noodles are a must!

A lovely family-run restaurant. I went in on a Friday night for a friend's birthday in a group of nine people. Most of us had not tried the Uyghur cuisine before but we all loved it. We definitely ordered too much food which meant we were all very full but also that we got to try a lot of different dishes on the menu. They brought us out some salads to start. There was one made with shredded carrots and noodles that was fantastic. I had a tofu and rice dish which was great. They were also happy to make the Qoruma Chop noodle dish without the usual beef to make it vegetarian for my wife. The noodles had an amazing texture.

Incredible food and awesome service!! We will be back! Everything we ordered was amazing. The fresh hand pulled noodles were excellent! Highly recommend chilly popcorn chicken, manti, cucumber salad, vegetable and beef noodles, grilled aubergine Prices were so reasonable too!

This was my very first time eating Uyghur food and I was pleasantly surprised with the experience as a whole. My husband and I were warmly welcomed and seated promptly. We were inquisitive of the the various dishes and the sister taking our order, was very helpful in helping us choose as we were unsure in what dishes to select. We ended up ordering the Lamb cube skewers, Cucumber salad and Large Plate Chicken. The dishes were full of flavours, all complimenting each other and perfectly cooked. The freshly made flat noodles were al dente and went flawlessly well with the chicken. One thing to mention, was the service and attentiveness by the sister who served us. I was deeply touched by her kind gesture and would like this to be acknowledged. So, I was torn between the Large Chicken plate and the Qoruma chop stir fried noodles. I really wanted the latter but as it was just me and my husband (bearing in mind the portions are generous); we settled for the former. The sister picking up on this, requested the chef to cook me a small portion of the Qoruma chop. Although, it ended up slipping the chef's mind. I was really taken back by this sweet and thoughtful gesture. Thank you so much for the amazing food and experience, I would most definitely like to visit again in'sha'Allah. I would highly reccomend everyone reading this review to please check this place out.

Really amazing food and service. We received very good recommendations from our waiter, and were blown away by how excellent all of the dishes were, incredibly tasty with complex flavors. Definitely one of the best places to eat in Finsbury Park

Dilara have nice precooked meals, which is great for lunch breaks.

I've been meaning to try this place for a while, and I finally went tonight with my wife. It was our first experience of Uyghur cuisine, and we thought it was excellent, an interesting mix of Central Asian Turkic cuisine and Chinese cuisine, the closest thing I would compare it to is Sichuan cuisine. To start we each had a little pastry filled with beef and lamb (Samsa), followed by succulent lamb skewers. For the main course we shared the beef and vegetables with noodles and the stir fried aubergine with steamed rice on the side, these two dishes in particular reminded me of Sichuan, they were both moderately spicy with the spice being really well balanced. The portions are fairly generous, so we left feeling quite full, overall very good value for money. The service was also excellent, our server did a very good job of explaining the menu, he seemed to be really passionate about the cuisine.

New management. Amazing food, amazing service and wow love this place. Unique food.

Delicious! The marjan qorumisi is especially good.

Food is still lovely here , new management who is also a lovely fella ! So happy it’s re opened , essentially get every noodle dish :)

This is one of the worst restaurants I've ever been to. And one of the worst experiences of service, ever. I visited this restaurant with a friend mid Oct on a weekday night. We had to wait nearly 15min before a waiter came to our table (after asking for help at least 5 times). They did not have 2/3rds of the dishes on the menu. 2/3rds! No explanation no reason except 'will be available next week.' We ordered drinks which did not come for another 15min. When we reminded about the drinks (around 3 times), we were told after another 10min, that the drinks were no longer available. We finally just left without drinks or food (after waiting for around 35min). The staff didn't seem bothered at all. This restaurant is absolute nonsense. The staff have no interest in being nice courteous or serving. A horrible experience.

Mid range price kind of restaurant, with a very typical cousine, generous portions, and nice staff. They even give you Tupperwares to do take away.

First time having Uyghur food and it was fantastic. Will definitely be back again. The big plate of chicken was delicious

15 quid for 5 forks of chicken and lots of bine

Nice staff, however food left a lot to be desired. Some of the food was visibly inedible and not even a wild animal would eat it.

I went here after a friend who has worked in the area for years recommended it and it did not disappoint. The first time I went here, I tried the Qoruma Chop, which are these hand pulled chewy and delicious noodles with beef. The cut chillies in this are perfectly spicy, intense and the beef is cooked and marinated well. The star of this dish are the chewy noodles which seem hand made. I have already come back to eat this again. Only thing I would say is the price is a little on the high side and it can be slightly too oily but I would still recommend to anyone as it tastes so good! They also don’t charge service charge to dine in which is a nice addition. Looking forward to trying more.
