Karamay Uyghur Cuisine is a Central Asian restaurant at 12 Great Castle Street near Oxford Circus. The small, welcoming dining room introduces London diners to Uyghur food and the culinary traditions shaped by the historic Silk Road.
Fresh hand pulled noodles are a defining feature, paired with chicken, beef or lamb and sauces built from peppers, tomato, garlic and spice. Big plate chicken is designed for sharing, bringing noodles together with bone in chicken, potato and aromatic seasonings.
Lamb skewers, samsa and dumplings offer different ways to begin a meal, moving between the grill, pastry and pan. Vegetable noodles, salads and other vegan dishes provide useful contrast and let a group balance richer meat dishes with fresher flavours.
Tea and soft drinks suit the warming spice and communal style of the food. Karamay is especially rewarding for diners who want to explore chewy handmade noodles, carefully seasoned lamb and the distinctive meeting of Chinese and Central Asian influences.
Address: 12 Great Castle Street, London W1W 8LR, England
