Yummyyyyyy! As I sit here eating leftovers from our dinner order the other night!! We ordered delivery - big plate chicken- tender chicken very flavorful with potatoes and veggies and pasta. The stir fry dry chicken was really good too even though it was oily but so tasty! The laghman was enjoyed by the hubs. And I really enjoyed the fish dish - also very oily and could use less oil definitely. But tasty. Food came within a reasonable time. Overall quite satisfied with the food! Plenty of leftovers. Will order again. read more

Silk Road Uyghur Cuisine - Medium Plate Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

The food was average, but finding Xinjiang cuisine in Boston is quite a treat! Laghman過油肉拌麵: The beef was acceptable, quite tender, but a bit dry overall. The noodles were either soaked in the sauce for too long or poorly made; they were overly soft and mushy, lacking any texture. Samosa烤包子: Beef filling, the seasoning was quite authentic, similar to what I've had in Xinjiang. The crust was somewhat like a croissant, with many thin, flaky layers. Although not authentic, the taste was still pretty good! read more

Silk Road Uyghur Cuisine - Laghman, Samosa - Chinese Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

TLDR: shockingly flavorful food in a homey ambiance. I have to say I was blown away with the flavors presented to me here. In particular, the pork dumplings were such a surprise pick! They're filled with this flavorful broth so despite looking very unassuming they were bursting with flavor. We came here on a Sunday evening without a reservation and were seated in 10min. The menu is entirely online but food came out quickly after we ordered. Dishes we got: - beef laghman: spiced well and chewy noodles! I liked it, although I was a bit confused if it was Uyghur or Chinese because it tasted very similar to Chinese food to me - Pork dumplings: delicious, you have to get these. They look so boring. They're SO good and there's so many. - Mapo tofu: my mouth was very numb eating this but the tofu was silky smooth. I can only assume it was good but I didn't have much spice tolerance left in me after the laghman. read more

We dined in on a Friday night. It was nice and easy to order and pay via QR code. The food came out super fast. The restaurant is quite small so we were lucky to get a seat. We tried the laghman and the cumin lamb. The Laghman was stellar. I love hand pulled noodles and these didn't disappoint. I wanted to love the cumin lamb but the cumin was very overpowering. I would definitely go back as there are a few more dishes I'd like to try. read more

Order directly from the digital menu. Trying something new. Bean jelly soothes and samosa tasted really good. Bean jelly's texture paired well with beans and crunchy cucumber strips. Thick (fat) noodles with chicken looks spicy but tasted rather flavorful (not too spicy) Highly recommend when you feel like something different read more

Very yummy spot, with many options that are honestly pretty similar (variants of noodles and sauces in stir fry). The dry fried noodles were probably my favorite version of it all, since the noodles have a very nice texture. Restaurant is small and cute, but it's mostly got a take out spot vibe. read more

They said 'catering today' and refuse to service. I refuse to visit it again. Bcs everything was ready and no any problem to feed me.

This place definitely seems like more of a takeout spot, but my partner and I decided to stop by for dine-in on a weeknight. It was about half full when we arrived (and full by the time we left), but there are only 5 or so tables that fit 4 people max, so keep that in mind if you're in a large group. The ambiance isn't very appealing inside the restaurant and it lacked personality, seemingly not even having a restroom available for guests. We ordered our food using a QR code and hardly interacted with staff. We got a samosa, naan, dry fried noodle, and stir fried chicken. The samosa was meaty and had an overwhelming cumin taste, the naan was warm and soft, the dry fried noodle was tangy and flavorful, and the stir fried chicken was spicy! Our favorite dish was definitely the dry fried noodle, and the stir fried chicken reminded us a lot of fried sichuan chicken which is always tasty. Though the food was all good, nothing was super outstanding and if I were to order from here again I'd probably just stick with takeout. read more

Got takeout lamb noodle soup- really good! The soup was nice and flavorful, a little on the fatty side due to the lamb, and came with onions, scallions, and peppers (not spicy). The noodles were a large portion though, I could have used half with the amount of soup it came with. I also could have used a chilli/vinegar to lighten it up. I really appreciated the packaging of the order, separated noodles and soup. Kept it from sogging! read more

Surprised to see northwestern Chinese food in Cambridge. Wasn't expecting too much and yes the food turned out to be just okay... They do have a pretty comprehensive menu with most popular dishes such as chicken plate and lamb kebabs. I think it just has to do with where the meat is coming from... just doesn't taste that authentic Small portion but reasonable price read more

Cozy, intimate, and very quiet. This restaurant is a great option for date night or a quiet setting best for lunch and dinner. Service was prompt and thorough. The menu offers options of seafood, beef, and chicken with pairings such as noodles or rice. We ordered the samosa and dumplings for appetizer and you really can't go wrong with either option. For dinner we tried the stir fry chicken, spicy beef noodle, and the Laghman. Everything was flavorful and I would describe as a between of east and South Asian dishes with its own uniqueness that is a must try! read more

Small casual place in East Cambridge! Not too pricey, got the lamb noodle soup. Food came quickly too. Service was efficient. The soup itself was nice and flavorful, needed on a rainy day! The lamb was chewy, not the most tender. But still a decent meal. Should probably come back and try the spicy things they're known for though read more

A Hidden Gem--Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover! My friend was back in the States for work, and we decided to meet up for a quick after-work catch-up. She's from Cambridge and told me she knew exactly where to take me. When we walked into Silk Road Uyghur Cuisine, my first thought was, This place looks too small to enjoy. Baby, was I wrong! This is hands down one of the best and tastiest small mom-and-pop restaurants I've been to. Ordering is mainly done via QR code, but if you need help, the staff is super accommodating. The process was simple, the food came out fast, and everything was AH-MAZING. Let's talk about their Salt and Pepper Shrimp--I've been craving it ever since and now compare every other version to this one. To. Die. For. Their flat noodles tasted so homemade, like something straight out of grandma's kitchen. And OH. EM. GEE. The dumplings were BOMB. Soft, flavorful, and perfectly cooked--I could've eaten a whole plate by myself! Despite the small space, the customer service was warm and inviting. When I mentioned it was my first time and how much I loved the food, they even gave me a $10 off coupon for my next visit! Definitely a great spot to catch up with a friend or grab takeout. I will be back! read more

Silk Road Uyghur Cuisine - Very very very good food. Very authentic !!!!!!! - Chinese Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

I've been meaning to go to Silk Road Uyghur Cuisine for quite some time, given it's in my neighborhood! It's a pretty small spot, with just a few tables, so I think most people do takeout. To see the menu, there's a barcode on the table, and then you order with your phone. At the end of your meal, you pay at the front counter. In terms of food, we ordered the Meat Naan and Dry Fried Noodle. The Meat Naan was quite heavy, but absolutely delicious. I'd recommend splitting it, but even then, you'll probably have leftovers. The Dried Fried Noodle was the star of the show. It had a spicy sauce that was addicting! I just wish there was a bit more meat in the dish. I hope to come back again soon! read more

The food here is absolutely magical. I'm eating my way through the menu and I've yet to find anything I wouldn't order a second time.

This place has delicious, comforting food with well-priced portions! In particular, the beef was seasoned perfectly in each of the dishes that contained some (diced noodles, laghman noodles, samosa). The dish that I ordered was the diced noodles which contained a flavorful broth, making it a perfect meal for a chilly autumn day. Only minor complaints was that the samosa pastry was somewhat wet which took away from its flakiness. However, the beef inside was so yummy that it hardly mattered. Additionally, the chicken dish was noted to be a bit on the saltier side but otherwise still yummy. Ordering was done via a QR code so customer service interaction was limited but friendly! read more

What an amazing and outstanding customer service! I ordered online, was in the meeting and I forgot my pickup until they closed. I checked my text and they followed up with me and just realized that I was too late.. luckily they said, 'leave the food outside' . Took my chance and Alhamdulillah- my order was still there waiting to be picked up. All for halal food read more

First time having Uyghur food and found it to be super tasty and varied. The ambiance is basic but well kept and the service was standard. I'd recommend this location for delivery as the location is better served for a quick meal than a dining experience. read more

absolutely incredible chinese/uyghur food in cambridge area! the dry fried noodle was flavorful and perfectly prepared. the laghman was also quite good. this is a small local establishment so there is limited dine in seating. service is standard, nothing out of the ordinary. i would highly recommend coming here for the noodles, and i definitely want to come back to try more dishes! read more

Food is great, the garlic cucumber is definitely authentic which reminds me my mom's cooking. The cumin lamb is a little bit on the salty side so would be great if you have it with pancake or rice. Both dry fried noodles and dice noodles are very good. Would love to try the lamb BBQ next with the meat pancakes as well. read more

A quiet, small spot in East Cambridge with pretty unique cuisine. The service is quick, and instead of waitstaff, there is a chowbus QR code at each table to order your meal, which seems to be pretty popular in Chinese restaurants nowadays. Food was overall pretty delicious - I think the spices were milder than expected. "Samosas": were flaky on the outside, nice meat filling on the inside, pretty delicious. "Medium" plate Chicken: noodles were too soft and I kept getting shards of chicken bones (which told me the meat was not handled super well), but the flavor was ok, and the chicken was tender and juicy. Potatoes were at varying level of doneness but still cooked through. I liked how there were different sizes for this dish. Cumin Lamb - large, fatty pieces of lamb were cooked well, with a gently crisp exterior and a tender bite. This dish went really well with rice, but is not overly salty as other places make it. read more

I wish i could rate 0 or no star to this place. Overhyped and disappointing.

My family and I were visiting from out of town and decided to come here when looking for halal options. We are really happy with our decision because the food was very tasty!

Authentic Uyghur with generous portions! I was hesitant to try this place as I haven't been to any Uyghur restaurants in my life, however, I like the taste of their dishes and large portions! Three of us got meat naan, dry noodle and big plate chicken. My favorite were dry noodle and meat naan! They're so flavorful and I could tell it tasted different than other Chinese restaurants I've been to in the area. Keep in mind that you order online even when you're dining in, and go to cashier when wanna grab your tab. read more

Everything is super flavorful and delicious! Things are pricy but each dish is quite a large portion with lots of veggies. We got the bean jelly (refreshing with cucumbers), cumin lamb (very tender yet crisp, fatty lamb with sweet onions and green beans), dry fried noodles (charred with sweet leeks and tender meat), and Laghman (flavorful stir fried veggies and beef on noodles). Note: the space is quite small with a few tables but the staff are friendly and ordering is online/speedy. Everything comes out quickly and steaming hot! read more

I recently tried Silk Road. The lamb samosas are by far the best thing on the menu. They are flaky, flavorful, and an absolute must try. Some of the best I've had! I've tried several Uyghur restaurants in NY and overall the main dishes are fairly average. I would rank the dishes as follows (best to worst): Dry Fried Noodles, Laghman, Uyghur Pilaf, Lamb Kebab, and Lamb Shank. In particular, given all the positive reviews for the last two, I was shocked at how unsatisfying they were. The lamb shank especially was more of a broth with lamb bones than a lamb shank. Relative to my previous Uyghur experiences, I was a bit disappointed (except with the samosas and noodles!), but for the greater Boston area Silk Road offers a unique experience with interesting flavors. Give them a try! read more

I ordered via UberEats. After reading reviews, we settled on Laghman, Samosa & Uyghur Pilaf. The Samosa is out of the world, it is definitely authentic. The Laghman was very flavourful. Unfortunately the pilaf was not what I expected. It was lacking in seasoning. The Laghman is a great option for takeout. The noodles don't absorb all the sauce. I'll definitely be back for it and the samosa! read more

Did dine-in, but this place does a brisk takeout business too. The spices were good but the food in generally was really salty and oily. We got a samosa, the green beans, beef noodle soup and dry fried noodle. The beef in the samosa was flavorful and the outside crust was soft and flaky. The green beans had ground beef, which was cooked pretty dark and was quite salty. The noodles for both the dry fried noodle and noodle soup seemed pretty similar. The beef in the dry fried noodle was pretty good, but the soup was disappointing because there wasn't really a broth. It just seemed like a lot of the spices with not a ton of water, while I was expecting more of a mild broth. read more

Never tried Uyghur food before Silk Road Uyghur Cuisine, but I walked by a few times and the smell just drew me in. Since trying it for the first time a few months ago, I've been at least once a month. I think they might be open now for indoor seating, but since COVID has hit, I've always just ordered pickup. They're really fast with pickup, especially if you call to place your order rather than ordering online (~10-15min). My favourite dishes are the samosas, dry fried noodles and naan filled with meat. No matter what I'm ordering, I always order a samosa for me and my bf (one each!) because they're honestly the best thing on the menu. They're little fluffy pastries filled with a delicious mixture of beef and onion (dw they have lots of meat and don't add too much onion). I'm not sure how they flavor the dish, but it's savory and always makes me want more. When I got the samosas yesterday, I felt like the outside was bigger and fluffier than usual. They're usually more flat and dense. I personally liked this fluffier version but my bf preferred the previous version (both are amazing though!). Next, I love the dry fried noodles. These noodles are stir fried with some bell peppers, other veggies and beef in a spicy sauce. These noodles are wonderfully flavored and great for anyone who prefers their food with a little kick. The naan filled with meat honestly reminded me of the samosas even though they're filled with a different meat. They taste like a larger version of the samosas, so if you like pies or more bread-intensive dishes then I would definitely recommend this as an entree! A dish that I tried recently was the cold noodles (appetizer). This dish had an abundance of sauce and was a bit spicy and sour. It's a huge dish (nearly the same size as the dry fried noodles), but personally not a fave as the dry fried noodles just seem to outshine it in every aspect. I believe the two dishes use the same noodle type and just differ in preparation and sauce. Overall, an amazing little spot with great, decently priced food. If you have tried Uyghur food before, I would definitely give it a shot here! read more

Naan (馕) and samosa (烤包子) are nothing like we had in Urumqi (乌鲁木齐). The noodles part of Laghman (过油肉拌面) is ok but the meat is dry and tasteless. Uyghur Pilaf (抓饭) checks all the boxes as far as the ingredients are concerned but again the lamb bits are a bit dry. The restaurant is small but clean and there are plenty of street parkings nearby. The staff don't speak Chinese but you are presented with a bilingual menu when scan to order. read more

Loved the food at this small family owned restaurant. Hot piping food was brought to the table as it was made one dish at a time
