Review Summary

Le Taklamakan is widely celebrated for its authentic and flavorful Uyghur cuisine, with many patrons highlighting the handmade noodles, big chicken plate, and house made cheesecake as standout offerings. While most experiences emphasize the generous portion sizes, warm service, and excellent value, there are occasional inconsistencies regarding food texture and temperature, particularly with lamb dishes and take out packaging. Despite minor critiques, the restaurant is frequently described as a hidden gem in Montreal that offers a welcoming environment and consistently delicious meals, making it a highly recommended destination for those seeking a unique and memorable dining experience.

We loved Le Taklamakan for its fresh ingredients, warm & courteous service, & cleanliness. This restaurant specializes in authentic Uyghur & Xinjiang cuisine. We decided to give this place a try!!

The menu features halal dishes from this Central Asian & Chinese intersection, such as handmade laghman noodles, tender lamb skewers, & the famous'Big Plate Chicken' (da pan ji) made for sharing. I sampled the Samsa as my appetizer. A flaky, savory pastry pocket filled with minced lamb & onions, heavily seasoned with black pepper & baked until golden brown. ❤? We shared the Uyghur Steamed Dumplings, Delicious!! &, we each ordered the savory Dry Fried Noodles.

I learned that authentic Uyghur & Xinjiang cuisine is a vibrant, hearty culinary tradition from China's northwestern Xinjiang region, blending Central Asian heartiness with Silk Road spice profiles & Chinese stir-fry techniques.

Because the Uyghur people are an ancient Turkic ethnic group, the cuisine relies heavily on halal cooking traditions & mirrors flavors found in Uzbek, Turkish, & Middle Eastern kitchens, rather than typical East Asian cuisine.
If you haven't stopped by to sample the menu, I highly recommend you sample their menu.

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.

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.

Chaleureux, original & excédant nos attentes à chaque visite, le Taklamakan est une véritable pépite. Je recommande vivement leur pilaf ouïghour qui est le meilleur de Montréal.
