Amazing and delicious. The best Xinjiang food I've ever eaten. Even better than in china itself. The service and staff were so lovely. Can't wait to go back !
As a chinese person I have to say that the food here is really authentic comparing with most the chinese restaurant in london. If you want northwest style chinese food/xinjiang cuisine, you're at the right place.
Etles Uyghur Restaurant truly impressed me with its outstanding cuisine. The traditional beef laghman was an absolute delight and ranks among the best dishes I've had in a long time. The combination of noodles and vegetables created a burst of flavors that felt like a delightful party in my mouth. I wholeheartedly rate this experience a perfect 10/10!
Service was amazing. The rice portion was very little, as well as the quantity of meat within the main dish. There was an imbalance of flavours.
The tea and baklava were amazing.
Really friendly staff, it’s quality homemade food from western China with a Muslim influence, very worth the visit and recommend. The restaurant is homely and cute.
Recommend the home made noodles.
This restaurant is one of the reasons why visiting trying new cuisines is something I should be doing more often.
We came on a Saturday afternoon and ordered their Manta dumplings, stir fried noodles with lamb and their lamb skewers.
The manta dumplings lovely and was pretty big! (Boyfriend’s hand for scale in the picture 😂). I was obsessed and fascinated by the chilli oil / sauce that came with it as it was the perfect amount of spice and had a sour taste to it which I’ve never had! Wish I knew what it was called and how it’s made?
The stir friend lamb leghmen was amazing. It was so aromatic, flavours were so unique. I can say the same about the lamb skewers which were so flavourful. These two dishes were hands down my favourite and would recommend to anyone who is visiting Etles Uyghur Restaurant for the first time!
It’s a cozy little restaurant which feels very homely with good customer service too. You also do not need cash as they accept card for you to pay. Only downside is probably having to wait for the lamb skewers for a long time (20-30 mins) as we were already done with the noodles and dumplings when it came.
But other than that, great flavours!
Cosy restaurant that serves tasty and affordable Uyghur dishes. Really glad to have this in the area because it was my first experience trying Uyghur food - to me it was like a great mix between Indian and Chinese style flavours. All the flavours were familiar but in a different way that I’ve never tasted. Will definitely be back here more often - it is BYOB if you want alcohol, and during peak times service is slow like when we went on a Friday evening
Family-owned restaurant with incredible authentic Uyghur/Turkic food. The atmosphere is perfect and the service was fast. We got the stir-fried lenghmen noodles, the samsa samosa, tugur dumplings, naan and the authentic Uyghur etken chay tea drink. We were very pleased with the food and would definitely return back.
Unique and tasty food with great service. BYOB. We enjoyed it so much we accidentally stayed past closing time (sorry!).

Nice place,good foods but Traditional Lagman taste not great,strong spicy or vinegar taste
Samsa & herbal green tea is excellent
Having a friend who missed a trip last month to Etles we thought we’d give it another run, this time to the Walthamstow branch.
We ordered the kidney & chicken wing skewers as starters then shared the stir fried tripe, lamb trotters, traditional Leghmen and a naan.
A nice variety of flavours and textures, the chicken wings and tripe were most flavoursome for me.
For the less offal inclined they have plenty of normal stuff on the menu too.
Staff were efficient and professional. The only minor negative was that it was maybe a bit expensive relative to what we got, I’ve had similar in other restaurants for much less.
It was an absolute delight to experience Etles, the atmosphere is warm and hospitable, the food is excellent and the service was as though you're a guest in a loving home. Would highly recommend, and try to skip lunch so you can really explore the menu :) The dumpling soup (can't remember the name), bread and stir fry chicken noodles were delightful, as was the sauce which came with the manta dumplings. Whatever you choose, you won't be disappointed!
