Bogda Lagman, Bogda Restaurant Traditional Uyghur Cuisine
A unique restaurant for Uyghur food. These noodles are hand-made with Uyghur-style stirfried meat and vegetables and a choice of lamb or beef.
Vegetarian Hummus with Olive Oil, Shawerma Plus
There is a wide range of dishes and platters at this popular Syrian/Middle Eastern restaurant that can feed one or a multitude. Sometimes simpler is better: a few scoops of hummus (see banner photo) will certainly stoke your appetite to try one of their family platters.
Wide-cut Lanzhou Noodles, Omni Palace
It’s a traditional Lanzhou beef noodle, but try “wide-flat” cut. The broth is the base for those noodles, whatever cut-size you choose, along with daikon, slices of beef, cilantro, parsley and other herbs.
