    Never had proper Uyghur cuisine before! Was at a conference at De Doelen, and Urumqi saved us from the awful conference food. Had a dry wok dish with homemade noodles and the Urumqi chicken kebab, both really delicious. Service is really friendly. Highly recommended.

    It was the first time for us to try Uyghur cuisine. Our favorite is the lamb satay, it was so tasty and tender. They use traditional herbs to enhance the taste of the lamb.

    It’s really a hidden gem to be able to taste authentic Urumqi food in the Nederlands. Quite, friendly, good quality and price. Need to be patience as only the owner is serving, small family restaurant but worth it. Highly recommended lamb sate, and freshly hand-made noodles (all types). We would like to try the pizza and also lamb buns but need to reserve 1 day in advance so we’ll do that next time. What a city escape to have a relax dinner in this busy Rotterdam. Thank you so much, We enjoyed a lot, our family also enjoyed the takeaway noodles that we bought.

    We were the only people inside for pretty much 40 minutes after 5:50pm. There is no muzak, just silence, the decor reminds one of a wedding dress boutique, and they didn’t have liangpi or cold shredded tofu (plus it’s no alcohol). BUT all that said: the food is top-notch. The hand-pulled noodles had an irresistible sauce that I uncouthly drank from the bowl. The chuan’r skewers were spot on. And the chicken noodles (essentially, ‘small plate chicken’) were brilliant when taken home to eat for breakfast. The bean sprouts were an afterthought; the Uyghur polo is apparently made with chicken, not lamb, so we didn’t order it. The impressively multilingual server was solicitous. NB it’s a tad pricey, though we definitely overordered—but having the chance to eat food this good, of this kind, is priceless.

    Absolutely delicious Uyghur food! If you are the first time eating this, the big plate chicken noodle (da pan ji) and lamb skewers is a must to order. They lamb bun is also the bomb! We also order Chao Mian (fried noodle) and some Uyghur fried rice and they are all so flavorful and tasty! The cuisine is like a perfect marriage of Indian spice on Chinese food. Would def come here again someday!

    The noodles are impressive that they have great texture and tasteful spices. Everything is in a good amount of portion and worth the price. Nice service!

    Had a chance to dine at this quiet, authentic gem this week and simply can’t get over it…! Besides extremely enjoying the traditional “laghman” beef noodles and sheesh kebab, the interior decor and delicate, floral cutlery took me right to the heart of Ürümqi in western China. Rayla was also a warm, hospitable host and I already can’t wait to be back here again soon to try more dishes 🙂

    They have really great Uyghur food, I had never tried it before but now I tasted it I want to keep coming back. It’s like a mix of East-Asian and Middle-Eastern flavors. They have homemade noodles and kebab for example, but also many other dishes I haven’t seen anywhere else yet.

    They serve big portions so be aware of not ordering too much at once. They have amazingly friendly service and you can bring leftovers home.

    The overall aesthetic is great, not your usual restaurant vibe (they usually don’t play music for religious reasons I believe) but I think that makes it unique. Recommend to everyone who likes good food and wants to try something unique in Rotterdam.

    Urumqi, one of the few other restaurants serving Halal authentic Uyhgur dishes, located in centre of Rotterdam. Delicious kabab, Polo (rice with lambmeat and carrot), dumplings, Lagmen (hand pulled noodle with meat and vegs). Place is colorfull, not too busy, but undervalued. Highly recommended.

  • Adith ie

    The food is amazing! We had the chicken noodles for two for dine in and the beef wook for take out. Satisfied with both of them.

  • Haoran Xia (Keesdelama)

    Very tasty food.
    Noodles have great texture and the dishes are very flavourful.

    The dessert torts are also very tasty. Nicely layered with good flavour and moistness.

  • Flávia

    Delicious food with very generous portions. Will gladly return with a group of friends to try more dishes!

  • Dr Win Sutanto

    To my knowledge this is the only Uyghur restaurant in Rotterdam. The food is extraordinary: the lamb/mutton were seasoned with heaps of cumin and coriander, the bean sprout salad was fresh and refreshing. Admittedly my very first Uyghur meal but certainly won’t be the last. Highly recommended when you are in Rotterdam

  • Ming Li

    It has really good food. The proportion is big and the price is very reasonable. I love spicy food and their food is really spicy if you require more spicy.

  • Thao Mi Pham

    Super yummy food and a big plate perfect to share! We shared among 5 people and asked for extra noodles which turned out to be the perfect amount. You can add spiciness (with the chilli spice) after so you can bring the people who cannot handle spice either but be careful it is veryyyyy spicy. Overall nice service and a homey atmosphere.

  • Will Dinneen

    Uighur food should not be missed! These dishes are a delight. Combining central Asian and Chinese flavors. With think noodles and perfectly cooked chicken, potatoes, and peppers. The dish was rich and filling. The tea was excellent and the place itself was very clean.

  • Stefan

    Incredible food and very well priced. Friendly staff, definitely recommended to everyone who loves fresh and authentic food.

  • Georgina Pride

    Very nice and authentic Urumqi Restaurant!

  • Wai

    First time trying Uighur cuisine, and I was pleasantly surprised how delicious it was!

  • N R

    We’ve had one Kormisi and one Lagman plus a salad and Uyghur tea.

    The food was impresive, both the portion and the taste! I didn’t expect it at all to be such a delicious and spicy food! I really appreciate that I’ve discovered a very new and tasty cusine.

    The tea was nice as well and it was served in a traditional nice and big tea pot.

    The owner was kind and the food came to us fastly. I’m really sorry that cusine is unknown to many people and I hope this review push others to at least give it a try.
