Review Summary

Le Taklamakan is widely regarded as an authentic gem in Montreal, celebrated for its flavorful and generous portions of Uyghur cuisine. Diners frequently praise the handmade noodles, the big chicken plate, and the delicious cheesecake, often highlighting the welcoming and warm atmosphere provided by the staff. While the vast majority of visitors have an outstanding experience and appreciate the fair pricing, a few isolated reports mention inconsistencies with meat texture, temperature, or facility cleanliness. Overall, the establishment is highly recommended for its unique, comforting, and high-quality dishes that keep customers returning for more.

Ordered take out. Food was great & happy to find authentic Xinjiang style lamb.

Small note regarding ordering the big chicken plate for take-out. Even well wrapped, the sauce would over flow, & the paper bag wouldn't hold it. I recommend putting half the sauce in a separate container.

Restaurant roulette brought me here, the great taste will bring me back. While I have no benchmark to judge the cuisine from this culture, it felt that the meal we enjoyed was felt true & uncompromised: lamb skewers were earthy, dry noodles fragrant & warmly spicy. Looking forward to explore the other menu offerings.

Very good spot for Uyghur cuisine. Super nice staff & great food!
A family meal/meal sharing environment that is at a great price for the portion & quality given.

Le Taklamakan is hands-down my favourite restaurant in LaSalle, & every visit reminds me why.

We ordered the chopped noodles, the big chicken plate, lamb kebabs, & dumplings - & everything was outstanding. The chopped noodles had that perfect chewy texture, the big chicken plate was generous & packed with flavour, the lamb kebabs were beautifully seasoned, & the dumplings were simply delicious. Uyghur cuisine doesn't get enough attention in Montreal, & Le Taklamakan is doing it justice.

What makes the experience even better is the staff - genuinely warm & welcoming every single time. You feel like a regular from the moment you walk in.

If you haven't been, do yourself a favour & go. This place is a gem.

Our first time to experience Uyghur cuisine . It was a splendid surprise. Small restaurant. Great service. Delicious food. We shared Samsa (stuffed with lamb), which was good but slightly dry, a dip option would have preferred. Then we got this chicken dish with noodles, potatoes & bell peppers. It was so good, & slightly spicy (if you are tolerant). It was a huge dish, perfect for sharing. I definitely recommend this lovely place.
