Exceeded expectations. Amazing halal food & customer service. Very clean & the atmosphere of the restaurant is beautiful. I'll definitely be recommending it to people.
Delicious & authentic halal Uyghur food. Exceeded expectations as the food was packed with flavour. We ordered, lamb kebabs, Pilov, Manti, Naan, & Beef Noodles. & each item was delicious. Would recommend!!
Restaurant trouvé complètement par hasard grâce à google maps en cherchant un restaurant exotique Halal.
Depuis que je l'ai découvert, j'y vais au moins une fois par mois.
Ce restaurant familial est une pépite, vous y trouverez un mix de la cuisine chinoise & turque.
Les plats sont excellents & variés avec des tarifs plus que raisonnables surtout quand on voit la qualité.
Le seul reproche, mais c'est l'inconvénient du fait maison & du frais, le service est un peu lent, surtout quand il y a du monde.

Tried this cuisine for the first time & perhaps I picked the wrong things but the food did not hit expectations (chicken tough, noodles bland & mantu meat tough). The waiter also was unable to provide any guidance whatsoever despite trying to ask questions & input. Maybe an off- night.
Nice decor.
We came to Atlas Uyghur Restaurant on a Sunday for dinner. We arrived at 5:30 & ordered a Big Plate Chicken (large size), Lamb Qordak (large size), Lamb kebab (×2) & a Pilov all for takeout. The food took them a really long time to prepare. We were told 30 mins but even after 40 mins we checked in & it wasn't ready at 45 mins. Therefore, I recommend for takeout order from home ahead of time, & then come to pick up.
The food was absolutely delicious! The Lamb Qordak & Lamb Kebabs were our favourites. The Qordak was tender, slow-cooked lamb in a delicious curry that practically melted in our mouths. The stewed vegetables, too, were soft, savory, & soaking up all the luscious flavors from the curry base. This dish came with the Uyghur version of naan which was so tasty! The bread was soft & fluffy & it had nuts in it! The crunch kinda surprised us at first. The Lamb Kebabs were perfectly grilled, but yet the meat was juicy inside. Every bite was deeply satisfying.
We also loved the Pilov (forgot to take a picture), that reminded us of Indian & Pakistani pulao. It had a similar mix of fluffy rice, spices, & tender meat, all blended into a dish that was both hearty & mildly spicy.
The restaurant was decorated beautifully too & they had music playing in the background which was nice. We would definitely return, but we would dine in next time or order ahead of time.
