Restaurant Miran — Restaurant in Montreal

The service was poor. Servers were slow. They constantly kept forgetting we asked for the menu and a to go box. After we asked for the third time they finally brought it to us. I don’t know if they are hiring inexperienced staff but they should at least train them properly or hire better people. The plov was mediocre and the meet overcooked. The mantou wasn’t my favourite but it was okay for people who don’t know the proper taste of it. Noodles were good seemed like they were hand made.

The worst thing about this place it’s the service. They hire people who don’t know the culture where the food is from and thus are clueless when they get asked about the ingredients used or the way the food is supposed to be served.

Plus an incident that happened during our dining really put the final nail is the coffin. My dad usually gives big tips and this time he gave out the bare minimum on a 120$ + bill. BECAUSE THE SERVICE WAS HORRIBLE. It was my brother’s birthday and he bought champagne that we would drink when we got home, he put it next to him on the booth we were sitting at because he was reading the label or something. We had no intention of doing anything with it because we know it is a halal restaurant but one of the servers who we asked to get us a to go container came up to us out of nowhere. And with her biggest condescending smile went in a tangent oh how it is prohibited to drink here and we should not have it out. First of all rude on how she wouldn’t let us explain and kept on taking. Then we said we were sorry because she practically wouldn’t go away if we didn’t. Then when leaving she gave my table the biggest side eye imaginable. Like im sorry, where is the professionalism?? Nowhere in this restaurant apparently. Plus we had like a mountain of empty plates we stacked to the side in the middle of our meal and they wouldn’t pick it up. Wow how couldn’t you not see the stack of plates if you saw the bottle my brother kept beside him on the booth???

Anyway for people already accustomed to central Asian/Uyghur food don’t bother because it’s not really worth it. The prices are not expensive for a reason. For the others who haven’t tried this type of food it is a good first intro to them but get it to go...

I recently had lunch at Miran Restaurant with a friend, and it was my first time trying Uyghur cuisine. We started with the Spicy Bean Jelly, which wasn't really my thing, but the Hot Iron Plate Beef that followed was fantastic—the veggies were perfectly cooked, not overdone.

Then came the Crushed Cucumber Salad, and I completely fell in love with it. The freshness and the sauce were just right; I couldn't get enough. My main dish was the Stir-fried Diced Laghman with beef, and honestly, it's one of the best meals I've ever had. The sauce, the spices, and the leeks—everything was spot on.

I tried the Miran Doghap, a mix of ayran and honey, which was really delicate and refreshing. If you like sweet and savory combinations, you'll enjoy it, though they do serve it generously.

We also had Lamb Kabab Skewers that were juicy and flavorful, and the Lamb Petir Manta, which I enjoyed as well. The lamb meat in manta was tasty, but I wish they had a non-spicy sauce option for dipping the manta.

Overall, this was an experience I'll remember. The service was fast, and our server was so kind and accommodating. I even took two orders of laghman to go for my family, and they loved it too. I can't wait to go back the next time...

I'm glad to have found this amazing place. First, when you go in, the ambiance is amazing. A nice ,super clean and comfortable place. It has many traditional decorations all over. It makes you feel like it's hugging you. After you have a very friendly welcome by one of the staff. They set you to a table and give you some time to explore the menu. This is good because the food is not like anything i had before. So it was nice to discover. After we asked for help regarding what would order and the girl explained everything to us and gave us great recommendations. We only had enough time to look at the beautiful interior design and go wash our hands before the food started to come. Btw the bathroom is very clean. Now the food was amazing. It felt like it was something done at home by your grandma. Even though it was our first time having this kind of food, it felt very familiar. The noodles we fresh and very very tasty. And the lamb sticks were so tender. Note: do not order spicy, they provide you with a bowl of spice on the table. Use that instead. Because just a bit is more than enough. I want to say more but i prefer letting you explore this amazing restaurant by...
