Dilara in Hackney

Excellent HMC halal Uyghur food!! Must recommend the noodles Friendly staff

Amazing food and lovely customer service. Lovely family run business. Will definitely be returning.

Lovely service- gave us really good recommendations based on our preferences. Everything was fresh and delicious. The aunty at the end even poured us tea on the house at the end.

I really recommend this restaurant the food was great 😊

I had been aware of the plight the Uyghur people are facing from in China for some time. So I was delighted to stumble across this restaurant by accident. It's a brilliant spot, excellent fresh vegetables, salads and meats with potatoes, fat flat noodles and spicy sauces. There is no alcohol or BYOB licence. But there are a few great pubs right next door. I really recommend trying this place out and leaning about the Uyghur people. I will be back there soon

A very pleasant experience, we will definitely come again!

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🤮 As for your reply...for some one like me who have been travelling east and west all over the world trying the different cuisines...it's sure I know good food when I try it...don't try to cover up your bad food quality and service by saying it's a personal taste.

Came here with some friends and we had such a lovely meal. Dillara was such a kind host. The food was absolutely amazing. We forgot to get a before picture. But Ive added a picture of us cleaning our plates. Get the qourma noodles 😍🫶🏾

My fav go-to restaurant! Highly recommend it to anyone who’s craving authentic Uyghur/Central Asian cuisine + all menu is halal

Really lovely food, I loved all the dishes especially the noodles!! Definitely a must try in the area. The hostess dilaria was lovely and really helped us with our dining out experience

One of my local favourites, must get the polo !

We loved the food! The taste was truly exquisite. They provided ughyur tea on the house! Very hospitable family. I’ve tried ughyur cuisine before and this restaurant was far better. My family loved it too. Must try and you won’t regret!

Amazing food, so much flavour, perfect balance with spices and the service was amazing. All the dishes with noodles are amazing.

Food was delicious and service was great

My Uyghur Xinjiang go-to-place as always in North London.

great food and Dilana was amazing

Amazing dining experience, wonderful people

Great service and food. First time eating authentic Uyghur food and we have been blown away by the quality and service provided by Dilara and the team. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Best Uyghur food in London, the customer service was impeccable. Incredibly warm atmosphere and the food was made with love. The meat is very very tender and delicious. If you are in London you must come here, it’s a hidden gem ❤️❤️

Incredible foods, the service was A1. Dillard was a great host and the tea was sensational. Highly recommend the food and the place

Very tasty food. The noodles were freshly prepared in front of us. Very nice, always happy!

Lovely Uyghur food with great customer service. If you love or enjoy some herbal tea, i would definitely recommend the Uyghur herbal tea. Also, try the qoruma chop. They make it with fresh noodles.

We had high expectations based on all the glowing reviews, but unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to the hype. The only standout was their version of samosas, which were genuinely enjoyable. Beyond that, the dishes were rather bland and lacked any depth of flavor. We also found the portion sizes to be surprisingly small, especially given the high prices. On a positive note, the service was excellent. Contrary to some other reviews, we had a great experience with our server, maybe we just got lucky but the lady who took care of us was friendly, attentive, and gave thoughtful recommendations. It's just unfortunate that the food didn’t match the level of service or other reviews.

Excellent food and very busy. I will be coming again to enjoy this Silk Road cuisine!

The experience we had as a family we amazing. The Food Was delicious the atmosphere was peaceful. The Waiters was so nice we can’t wait to go back again

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 briyani 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.

Very good, delicious, good service, good environment, good portion.

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.

Delicious food , lovely stuff, cosy environment.

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

Amazing food and service! Would definitely recommend.

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.

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

Come to eat from south over 5 times

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

Necesitaba usar el baño ya que estoy muy embarazada y todos los lugares estaban fuera de servicio. Fui a preguntar en la recepción, eran 4 chicos, ambos miraron y se rieron y dijeron “está siendo limpio”. Sabía que estaban mintiendo, así que coincidí con mi camino por la parte trasera y estaba completamente limpio. Breve historiaSon groseros y ofensivos

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.

Nunca había comido comida uigur antes - visitar este restaurante fue una revelación. Tenía un plato de pollo glaseado y no se parecía a nada que hubiera tenido antes. ¡Y lo digo en el sentido positivo! Mi esposa también disfrutó de su sabroso plato de fideos. ¡Vamos a volver!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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

very good food and friendly staff

Lovely restaurant , Amazing staff

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.

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

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

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

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!

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

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.

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

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

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

Very friendly and delicious food

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

Gooooooood! Sooooooo good!!!!!!!

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.

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

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!

Great food and brilliant service! Highly recommend!

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

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

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

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

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 🥰

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

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.

Great service and amazing food!

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.

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.

Great food, really friendly staff and great service.

Nice lady and good recommendation 🙏
