“Uyghur cooking at its best — halal Chinese from Xinjiang. Hand-pulled noodles, lamb shank, and skewers that do not argue. The honey cake is worth the wait.”

Halal Chinese (Uyghur) in Boston Area and Michelin Bib Gourmand, You know I had to try this place for sure. The Jahungar Noodles are so worth it along with the Lamb Skewers (Kavab). The ambience and the customer service are top notch, well worth the Michelin!
