OSU Columbus Finally Has Xinjiang Cuisine!

Address: 885 Bethel Rd, Columbus, OH 43214. Restaurant: KAMIL‘S UYGHUR CUISINE 💛As the first Xinjiang restaurant in Columbus, the decor is full of exotic charm. Warm lighting and ethnic-style decorations instantly transport you to a Silk Road oasis town. 1️⃣ Liang Fen (Chilled Mung Bean Jelly) Though covered in red oil, the spice level is mild—the aroma of the chili🌶️ stands out more than the heat. The jelly is smooth and refreshing, perfectly paired with vinegar and garlic. 2️⃣ Lamb Soup Generous portions of tender braised lamb with carrots🥕 and potatoes—no gaminess at all. Be sure to dip the meat in the broth for the perfect balance of flavors. 3️⃣ Hand-Pulled Noodles with Meat 🧀The noodles are chewy and satisfying. We tried the lamb version—tender and flavorful. You can also choose beef, chicken, or a vegetarian option. 4️⃣ Da Pan Ji (Big Plate Chicken) 🍷An absolute five-star dish! The chicken is richly seasoned, the potatoes soak up the savory sauce, and the wide noodles are the soul of the dish. 5️⃣ Grilled Lamb Skewers 🍵Extra-large chunks of meat with a strong charcoal aroma—juicy and never dry. #XinjiangCuisine #ColumbusEats #OhioFood
