Turpan Uyghur Restaurant in Camden

Wonderful restaurant. I had a tofu dish in a red sauce and a salad. Terrific. The authentic tea with many ingredients was also excellent. Good service. A real find.

We were here by accident after British museum and kids wanted Fish and chips. The price was ok and we went in. Then we realized we can eat something not known to us and we took a chance. The food is great, not expensive, only the service could be better organized. We ordered soup but we got main before. It was crowded at that time. Would go again.

The restaurant is really nice, food is really delicious and homemade, and people who work here are really nice. The atmosphere is really familiar. Goushnan/Dessert is really nice. I recommend it!

This is something special: homemade noodles with beef and vegetables in a very tasty buljong. Try! Place is small and almost full all the time. Worth visiting.

Cannot review as having booked 2 days earlier we arrived on time and we’re met with total ignorance of the booking and pathetic shuffling through a scruffy notebook. They were full and no tables but many complaints from those who were seated that they had been there without any attention for too long. Incompetent. Avoid. We left obviously but we’re not offered any alternative.

We had a lovely family lunch and all of us greatly enjoyed our meals. Lovely fresh vegetables. My wife had a lovely vegetarian meal from an excellent range of options and my son and I both had lovely meat options. The staff could not have been more helpful. We ate outside and my wife enjoyed the bank holidays sunshine and as I prefer the shade the manager even wound the awning outside so I could eat in the shade. (I am not usually that difficult, but he was so obliging). So, lovely main courses, delicious dessert and excellent value. A real find in the West End and I will return.

Junk came here with family on ramadan. Online says open travelled all the way from bromley and its shut. O sign nothing. Literally wasted time, should have some comon sense and post online that its will be shut.

I am so glad I tried this place for the Lamb Hoof Pachaq. Initially I thought it was the same as Xinjiang and Uzbek cuisine because of the menu but it turns out Uyghur food is similar. Anyway, I didn't try the similar items so went for the Lamb hoof because you don't see it elsewhere and I haven't had lamb hoof even though i've had chicken feet, pigs trotters and cow trotters. The dish was how I expected it to be. It was soft and gelatinous with a nice heat and spice from the dried chillis and Sichuan peppercorns which makes it similar to Sichuan dry hot pot stir fry. The menu states 5 pieces, you will find the trotter sliced in half vertically with some bone marrow in them but not much. Also had it with rice which I thought was going to be plain but they put some sort of milk and butter in it which makes it quite heavy. Overall the lamb hooves are recommended if you like soft and gelatinous pigs trotters. It would be good if the hoof had the hair completely removed because I ended up wasting the skin because of it. The dish also reminded me of these Gurkha pigs trotters KHUTTA KO ACHAAR which are also spicy.

This is the best restaurant we had dinner in London. Great food and very courteous people. Enjoyed very much and will be back again

Truly a pleasure to try Uyghur food. I’ve always looked at this faraway region on the globe and wondered what it would be like there. Fantastic that we get an opportunity to try their cuisine here in London. I would recommend the Pilaf rice and the skewers, but the Marjon was also incredible.

Very delicious, filling and good value homemade noodles just a short walk away from the British museum. Really worth a visit if in the area and a much better option than the touristy cafes nearby. Go! Highly recommended.

The noodle dishes are really good, also the noodle soup and the desserts. We went there at 1 pm and it was full, Londoners really like the food! The food tastes like a mix of chinese and turkish food I can only recommend it!

Small family run business with authentically tasty food. All the ingredients tasted fresh and there was a lot of flavour to the food. Spicy dishes were actually spicy. Recommend to all. Leghman is a dish that stood out to me

We visited on a Saturday night, group of 9. It was really busy so recommend booking. Fantastic food, we ordered lots of different dishes and we enjoyed them all, amazing flavours. Really lovely staff. With BYOB too it's great value for money, highly recommend, we'll definitely go back!

My friends and I were looking for something different and unknown to try and we found this place. I haven't tried Uyghur cuisine before and I have to say I'm glad I did! All the food we ordered was homemade and delicious. It's difficult to choose a favourite one, but I really loved the Tohu Qordaq, the Polu/Pilaf and the Goshnan. Also big highlight for the Baklava (also homemade) as it's the best I ever tried so far. Definitely a place I would go back! Thanks for the lovely experience

Clean modern restaurant/cafe very convenient for Tottenham Court Road and British Museum. Unlicensed but provided corkscrew/bottle opener and glasses. Sainsburys 200m away in TCR. We tried lots of dishes. Two kind of dumplings, tofu, salad, lamb kebabs, kidney kebabs, meat pie. chicken, beef, whole fish and some more. Then baklava and rice pudding. Given the geography, no surprise that Uyghur cuisine is about half way between Turkish and Chinese. Service pleasant. We enjoyed it all.

Great food. First time I have tried uyghar food and it was very tasty. Round the corner from my hotel, only 5 mins from Tottenham Court Road, worth seeking it out. Great choice, freshly produced, lovely home made noodles and the portions were generous. Having eaten at a far more expensive place the day before (and been disappointed) this place is very reasonably priced and well worth a visit, I highly recommend it if you want well priced, tasty food with good service.

Menu choice and combinations were excellent - a wonderful introduction to Uyghur foods and flavours. Service was kind and attentive. Will definitely be back.

A wonderful experience last night from this unpretentious but excellent authentic restaurant. Lovely host, tasty dishes, unique flavours. Home made noodles too! What also stood out was how welcoming the place is. We had a big chicken dish with lovely ginger, star anise, cinnamon, chilis...

What a discovery! This unassuming little restaurant has authentic Uighur food served in Central London. The food is beautifully presented and very tasty indeed. The Laghman is the star dish and is handmade with rich, interesting spicing. The lamb pilov rice is also authentic and...

Love trying new cuisines, the lamb skewers were so tender, the flavours were intense. A humble seating area but powerful flavours Will definatly visit again The baklava was delicious!

The flavours are amazing, and the dishes are popular among the Uighurs (I spoke with the Turkestan-born chef, the dishes on menu are exactly the kind cooked at home by them) so you’ll get the right cultural experience. The owners will look after you with...

The dishes are amazingly good and tasty, the owner is lovely and very welcoming and gives good advices. We took handmade noodles with chicken and it was just perfect, we travelled in the Uyghur région thanks to this dish. The lamb skewer was very well...

This is a great place to eat after a trip to the British Museum. The menu is interesting and varied and the staff very friendly and customer orientated. Will definitely go back once lockdown lifts.

We went for dinner after work and had a lovely meal. The staff were really friendly and helpful and assisted our decision making over which dishes to try. We ordered a few different things to share and the foods was really good with generous portions....

I had the dry stir fry noodles (quoruma chop). The sauce was delicious and i loved the texture of the noodles (they told me they make these noodles fresh inhouse). The restaurant itself is a cosy little place and the guys who work there are...

I only heard about the Uyghur’s through their suffering being occupied in China. I’m glad I discovered that even their cuisine is catered for in multicultural London, as it’s a delicious mix of the best parts of Asian cuisines. I had the stir fried beef...

Wonderful food and very kind, friendly service. Favourite Uyghur restaurant in London so far. We were particularly surprised by the lighildaq mung bean salad but everything was very tasty 😊 😋

Had shakey expectations given the restaurant shares the space with a greasy spoon, much like Marys Cafe in Waterloo (which is also excellent!). However, Turpan delivers affordable and a rare uniqueness that has made me come back 3 times this month to share with friends....

I very rarely post reviews, but this place deserves it. We randomly walked in after going to the British Museum and had the most fantastic food at a very reasonable price. Beef, sea bass, dumplings: all fabulous. We don't live anywhere near, but this was...

We stumbled into Turpan Uyghur Restaurant, not even knowing that it was a unique restaurant of its kind, serving delicious, homemade Uyghur food from Xinjiang province of China, which has been so much in the news lately, for all the wrong reasons. We had visited...

My curiousity of Uyghur community led me to this restaurant near Tottenham Court Road. There are less than a thousand Uyghur in whole of UK so finding this cuisine is next to impossible. This is a genuine family run restaurant that doubles as a coffee...

really tasty and interesting food. Friendly owners. Would recommend. Samsa really good. Nice relax atmosphere as well

Eat Uyghur food in an otherwise non-descript cafe near the British Museum. The warm and friendly owner will take anyone unfamiliar through the menu, but we had come to try the dumplings and hand pulled noodles: they did not disappoint. We had the samsa (minced...

Really enjoyed the delicious dumplings and samsa. Great welcoming service and definitely recommend to others.

I had my lunch here with my family it’s delicious food and warm people I will definitely bring my other friends
