Restaurant Miran receives strong praise for authentic Uyghur flavors, hand-pulled noodles, generous portions and a clean, welcoming atmosphere, with standout dishes like laghman, manta and lamb kebabs and halal meat prepared with care. Reservations are advised on busy days, and the dining experience is described as warm and attentive, helping it feel like a hidden gem in Montreal. Some visits note inconsistencies, however, such as noodles served not hot or slightly warm, beef in some dishes that is dry and chewy, and a big chicken plate that does not meet value expectations. A few items are unavailable or require pre-ordering, and service can vary during peak hours, with language barriers mentioned in a few reviews. Despite these concerns, the restaurant is frequently recommended as one of the best Uyghur spots in the area, with many guests eager to return and try more dishes.
First Uyghur cuisine experience in Montreal, but not my very first for this type of food. The dishes we ordered were all tasty, I especially enjoyed the handmade noodles. However the rushed service overshadowed our experience. We came far to try this place & did not get there until 40 minutes before close. I understand it's a later arrival but it's not last minute by any means. I was initially discouraged to come for sit-in over the phone but we weren't going to give up after coming all that way. The dishes came out one by one rather than at once so we could enjoy them on the same plate. It would have been nice to have at least had the beef dish served with the noodles. Their hurriedness really affected my experience here but the food didn't disappoint.
I'm glad to have found this amazing place. First, when you go in, the ambiance is amazing. A nice ,super clean & comfortable place. It has many traditional decorations all over. It makes you feel like it's hugging you. After you have a very friendly welcome by one of the staff. They set you to a table & give you some time to explore the menu. This is good because the food is not like anything i had before. So it was nice to discover. After we asked for help regarding what would order & the girl explained everything to us & gave us great recommendations. We only had enough time to look at the beautiful interior design & go wash our hands before the food started to come. Btw the bathroom is very clean. Now the food was amazing. It felt like it was something done at home by your grandma. Even though it was our first time having this kind of food, it felt very familiar. The noodles we fresh & very very tasty. & the lamb sticks were so tender. Note: do not order spicy, they provide you with a bowl of spice on the table. Use that instead. Because just a bit is more than enough. I want to say more but i prefer letting you explore this amazing restaurant by your self. Enjoy
Best xinjiang food in MTL, the boss is very friendly & she always recommends us to not order to much cuz the portion is big , think for customer , tasty chicken , Chinese big lamb dumplings (Bun) taste good as well, noodles amazing , often go with different occasions , too much pics , couldn't find it , I'll try to upload something when next time I go , Better to dinning in to keep the taste of the food
Good place overall. Food is tasty, atmosphere is also good. Only thing I'm not happy about is that the restaurant's door is not closing enough & there is wind coming in which is very uncomfortable & disturbing. I wouldn't recommend to sit near the door.

Best Uyghur food ever. Everything came so fast, the food extremely tasty, the meat was so tender & juicy at the same time. It's my 4th time going to this restaurant & I'll keep coming with my family. It's a hidden gems in Montreal. This restaurants needs more visibility.
We really like coming to this restaurant, the staff is always friendly & welcoming. The decoration is beautiful in oriental style & very cozy. The most important thing is that everything we tried was very tasty & handmade, like at home. Many thanks for their work, thanks to the owner for her hospitality & respectful attitude towards her customers. I highly recommend it, you will never regret it
I recently had lunch at Miran Restaurant with a friend, & it was my first time trying Uyghur cuisine. We started with the Spicy Bean Jelly, which wasn't really my thing, but the Hot Iron Plate Beef that followed was fantastic-the veggies were perfectly cooked, not overdone. Then came the Crushed Cucumber Salad, & I completely fell in love with it. The freshness & the sauce were just right; I couldn't get enough. My main dish was the Stir-fried Diced Laghman with beef, & honestly, it's one of the best meals I've ever had. The sauce, the spices, & the leeks-everything was spot on. I tried the Miran Doghap, a mix of ayran & honey, which was really delicate & refreshing. If you like sweet & savory combinations, you'll enjoy it, though they do serve it generously. We also had Lamb kebab Skewers that were juicy & flavorful, & the Lamb Petir Manta, which I enjoyed as well. The lamb meat in manta was tasty, but I wish they had a non-spicy sauce option for dipping the manta. Overall, this was an experience I'll remember. The service was fast, & our server was so kind & accommodating. I even took two orders of laghman to go for my family, & they loved it too. I can't wait to go back the next time I'm in town.
No exaggeration, it was super tasty, full of flavour & spice. I would definitely come back with family. All the ingredients have a fresh home made feeling. I was really happy with the prices as well. Ambiance is clean & calm. Perfect place to invite friends & family. Manta special drink is a sweet yogurt drink. 5/5 Beef qordak was full of flavour. 5/5 Stir fried noodles were also great. I asked them to make them spicy & they did not fail. Original don't come spicy. 5/5 The staff is very kind & offered complementary rice bowel without asking.
