Kroran Uyghur Cuisine

Very authentic food. Suitable for both kids and adults. The food was served really fresh and hot! Will definitely come back again.

First time coming here. Service was great and staff is friendly. Small restaurant so would recommend calling for reservations. The pulled noodles with beef was my favorite dish. All dishes were full of flavor. Would return to try other options off the menu and to get those noodles again.

I've heard many praises for Kroran Uyghur Cuisine and was thrilled to experience it firsthand. My visit during Ramadan resulted in a very quiet ambiance, reflecting not on the restaurant's quality but the fasting period observed by its primary clientele. Here’s what I ordered:
Lamb Kawap (Kebab): This dish was a highlight, with four large, juicy grilled lamb skewers presented over pita bread, complemented by onion and green onion garnishes. Using a spoon, I transferred the meat to my plate, and enjoyed the meat that was tender and juicy. Smoky and earthy spices enhanced the lamb's natural flavours.
Kidney Kawap: A skewer per order, it had a bold, gamey flavour, with a delightful blend of smoky and spicy tastes.
Quruq Qorima: An intriguing dry stir-fry featuring short, chewy noodles coated with a savoury and slightly sour sauce, primarily tomato-based. The beef slices and julienned bell pepper added layers of texture and flavour. Dry peppers scared me at first, but the overall taste was surprisingly mild.
The restaurant’s ambiance was understated but inviting, with tasteful decor including black tables, light brown walls, and captivating art pieces.
A minor inconvenience was the single shared restroom for all genders, which could potentially lead to issues during busier times. Also, the server's availability was limited, understandable given that we were the only patrons.
While the dishes were undoubtedly high quality, the total bill was higher than my expectations. A more affordable pricing would have improved my satisfaction with the meal.
Overall, I had an authentic and enjoyable meal, marked by quality dishes. However, the cost considerations will influence my decision on planning a return visit for another indulgent culinary adventure.

Unbelievably delicious, huge portions, very tasty.

Manta were juicy, went well with the chili oil
Samsa was very flakey and buttery, tasty filling
Lagman was great, lots of flavour depth
Lamb kawap was the star of the meal, extremely well seasoned and fatty, ask for yogurt dip!
Order the Honey Cake squares for dessert as well. Prices are fair, left feeling extremely satisfied!

Visited after reading online reviews. Was not disappointed. Food is flavourful and portion size is large. We had the Beef Qorima noodles, the lamb skewers, and the Mantu. Our favourite was definitely the lamb skewers. The noodles were thick and filled us up quickly so we had enough to take home. The Mantu was delicious with the vinegar and chili oil they provide on the side. The restaurant was busy and tables were full the entire time we were there. We can see why and recommend this place as a must try in Scarborough. One thing to note is that it is pricey. Those three dishes cost us $90 including taxes.

What a delightful experience :) We had the Manta juicy lamb dumplings (6pc). It was seasoned very well. No need to add any soy sauce like you might normally do with other dumplings at other places. We also had Dapanji spicy stewed chicken with hand pulled noodles in a delicious savory sauce. It had just enough hot peppers but they also offer their own home made chili sauce, just in case you want a bit more kick. It was a large portion so we had the pleasure of having it again a second time :) We tried the traditional salted milk tea too! It is definitely lightly salted milk tea. I would order it to have with my meal instead of a soup or regular tea. It may take some time so order it first. The server and the owner were both super friendly and sincere. We definitely recommend & will return to try the other dishes!

We tried this place since it was one of those must try hole-in-the-wall places. The food was good; we ordered the Quruq Qorima and the lamb skewers; both were great but I could not believe the price.

The noodle dish was priced at $35. There were 3 of us and we only had a small bit each; the lamb skewer price was ok ($24 for 4) but just one plate of noodle and lamb skewer was a whopping $67 which we found to be a bit too expensive for a family owned sort of restaurant.

Good food but not worth the price point. we were not expecting the food to be priced at these price ranges; seeing that it is a Chinese fusion food, we thought it would be similarly priced to a Chinese noodle dish which would at most be $20-25.

It's a popular spot and for good reason. The flavors were very authentic and nostalgic. Lamb skewers were delicious and had good heat. The dapanji had soft and tender chicken and great flat noodle texture.

It's pretty pricey but the portion sizes are decent

Avoid sitting close to the door on cold days as you'll feel it when people come in/out of the restaurant.
