Nur Uyghur Restaurant — Restaurant in Melbourne

My 90 year old Dad and I came here for lunch quite by chance, with zero familiarity with this type of cuisine, but we're both adventurous. We shared the Braised Beef Tails (E5) and the Spicy Tripe Stir Fry (F13) and both were absolutely delicious. I'm really looking forward to trying out lots of the other dishes on the menu. The manager came over to chat briefly, which was nice. We were able to ask a couple of questions, and he recommended that their hand-pulled noodles are a very special treat.
