“ Good. Expensive. Overpriced. Unfortunately overpriced. If you like great foods it's here ”

“ It used to be on Rockville Pike, and Just moved recently to this new location. Parking is free for the first two hours. We all liked the food,but the service was soso, most of times we had to try to get their attention. It was nicely decorated with Uyghur themed pictures, hats, and other items, it was colorful and peaceful. We ordered: 4*Kathlama Naan: thin and crispy. Cooked with butter. 4*Home Made Laghman: the homemade noodles were al dente. Very good texture. 4*Eggplant Salad: fresh, light and dark sauce. 3*Lamb Shank: it was good, but it was a bit dry. The flavor was light. I had much better ones . 5*Uyghur Lamb Kebab: very good, tender and flavorful. ”

“ Uyghurs are one of China's 55 officially recognized ethnic minorities. There are only 15000 (estimated) in the US. I have only recently been made aware of this group due to the alleged persecution they are undergoing in China and the discussion around that. Today was our celebrating Father's Day with our daughter and son-in- law so I chose a food I have never had. This is an amazing fusion of Asian and Turkish food traditions. Lamb and noodles. Today we started with Baba Ghanosh & Cucumber salad. Both recommended by others Yelp Elite members. Our main meal was Kordak, Pulao Lamb and Khanna lamb kebab to share with 4 peiple. An amazing meal and great service. ”

“ Came again for the Iftar buffet and this place does a good job. Its a huge spread of food with a lot of variety for salads, apps, plenty of chicken, lamb dishes, rice/noodle dishes, desserts. I liked the lamb & rice dishes the best, I just wish the food was at least warm. Seems like most of it was sitting around waiting until they allowed us to start the buffet line. Some dishes didn't even have a warming dish, but even those that did, weren't very hot. I really like the food here, will return soon. ”

“ This review is solely based on carryout.. thanks uber eats! LOL Pros -The FOOD is absolutely delicious. Served beautifully, hot, and fresh! -My kids loved the cucumber salad. They are huge cucumber fans and the light seasoning/dressing was a perfect touch for them -The eggplant salad was one of the biggest hits for the adults. When everyone took their first bite, their eyes just lit up, and all you hear was OMG! The homemade dressing and the way the eggplant was prepared is indescribable. -Chicken plate w/flat noodles was stuffed with chicken and potatoes! The noodles (being a carb whore) were my favorite part with the spice level. Unfortunately, the spice was too much for the kiddos, and the weak. LOL -The beef in the Khazan beef kebab was tender and flavorful -Chicken korma was the kids favorites.. can't go wrong with this one if you have picky eaters My brother recommended this place and I'm now eager to visit them in person for a sit down dining experience! ”

“ Huge portion sizes, the main course dishes are large enough to easily fill 2 people, at least the pulpao chicken and chicken small plate. They serve authentic Uyghur cuisine and have many dishes originating from Uyghur which is pretty rare for the area. The decor is pretty unique fitting the style in Uyghur, from the tables cloth to the walls and the assorted decorations scattered throughout the restaurant. It's nice that the entire menu has pictures and descriptions of all the dishes which allows you to see and know exactly what you're getting, especially since many of the dishes are not common to the area and most people don't know what they are. The dapanji (chicken small plate and chicken big plate) had delicious homemade flat noodles and a very good portion of chicken, but the dish uses chicken breast and as a result is pretty dry which takes away from the experience. There's a good level of spiciness to the dish although not quite as much umami flavor common to many other chili sauces. The pulao chicken was especially good with a heaping portion of rice along with raisins and carrots, some key elements of the dish. The chicken in this dish was far juicier than the dapanji and with a good amount of char too, adding extra flavor. Would love to try the pulao lamb next time as Uyghur is more often known for their lamb dishes. The pink tea was interesting to say the least, it didn't have tooo much flavor other than some milkiness and the crushed pistachio didn't have any added sugar which surprised me (considering I don't often see unsweetened/unflavored teas and nuts in the US) ”

“ @eerkinsuyghurcuisine What amasing food in a casual setting! So many great flavours and this location is just SO cuteeee, gonna have to try the fairfax location next! Eerkins tea: Probably some of best tea I've had, flavour was perfect. Samsa: Meat filled puffs that make a perfect starter. Fava bean dip w/ Uyghur naan: Another great starter/ sharable and very comforting food. Chicken/Lamb kebabs: Juicy, tender and so so good! Gambian Soman: Another comforting food, noodles are perfectly cooked in such a savoury sauce. Beef Qourma: Rice and like a stir fry meat/veggies, another very homey dish. Dough: A delish minty and refreshing drink!! Chocolate honey cake: Layers of sweet but not too sweet honey-chocolate-y goodness. - Insta @ SpicyAivy ”

“ Since Eerkins reopened on North Washington street we decided to visit (missed their great food). The food and tea menu is pretty much the same, and some of the interior decor from the last location made it to this one. We opted for an order of beef samsa (appetizer), lamb kabob with cold spicy noodles and gam bian soman. For dessert we had the chocolate honey cake. Everything was top notch and flavorful. Service was gracious and on pointe. ”

“ First time trying Uyghur food. My mom and I enjoyed everything. We had a nice conversation of the many years of visiting the restaurant when it was formerly chopsticks. Tip- They have a separate menu for Tea's. Free refills on most and they do hot/cold. You will enjoy them! The menu is similar to Silk Road with an Asian twist. The flavors are more Chinese without being Chinese. The lamb chops, kebabs, hand pulled noodles, and steamed whole fish were excellent. The owners did great with the decorating and the staff was very friendly. I will be back soon to try the many other dishes on their menu. I was so full from the generous portions that I forgot about the desserts. Easy 5/5 stars! ”
