Silk Road Uyghur Cuisine Adelaide — Restaurant in Adelaide

Hidden Gem Alert – Authentic Uygur Cuisine in the Heart of Adelaide

Hands down, this might just be the best Uygur food you’ll find in Adelaide. We ordered the Dapanji, lamb dumplings, and a unique egg and black fungus stir-fry, all served with a fragrant pot of black tea—and every dish was absolutely packed with flavour.

The food was not only authentic but beautifully cooked and well-balanced in spice and seasoning. The Dapanji in particular was a standout—rich, hearty, and perfect for sharing. The lamb dumplings were juicy and comforting, and the stir-fry was light yet deeply savoury.

Service was quick and friendly, and the owner, who greeted us personally, was incredibly warm and welcoming, adding to the overall charm of the place.

A big plus is that they open as early as 8am, offering a variety of breakfast dishes, but you can also order their full range of main meals at any time of day. So whether you’re an early riser or looking for a delicious lunch or early dinner, they’ve got you covered.

Dip your crispy bread. The Nan Kazan Kawap is joy and light in the world. Honestly, don’t go without it. The restaurant is clean, comfortable and filled with natural light. Considering myself lucky to...

Went there during weekdays When visiting Adelaide. The person behind the counter was so nice and recommended some of the menu as the one we were after was not available. Once we ordered, understandably food came a bit longer than usual as it was after peak hour. The food was exceptional. We tried the fried bread lamb cumin (nan Kazan kawap) and dapanji (tokhu qordak). The best Uygur cuisine we ever had. They were made fresh. The restaurant was also clean and located in a quiet location. Will give more than 5...
