Asian Fusion · Newcastle upon Tyne
A Uyghur kitchen in Newcastle's Chinatown that's a genuinely easy sell with children — there's a kids' menu, high chairs, and free parking, which takes the usual stress out of the arrival. The lamb skewers are what people come back for, tender chunks with a proper char and simple seasoning, and the hand-pulled Ganbian noodles and big plate chicken get similar praise. Portions are generous for the price, so smaller ones can share rather than ordering their own. Food generally arrives quickly even when it's full, and the staff stay friendly under pressure, though drinks and water can lag on a busy night. It's a warm, cosy room with traditional decor — the sort of place where a bit of family noise blends in. Worth checking ahead around festivals, when it gets packed.
