Tengri Tagh Uigur Restaurant — Restaurant in Dusseldorf

Friends of mine had visited this place twice, so they brought us there for early bird dinner. It was the first time for me and my hubby.

Since we didn't have reservation, we took our chance be there early to get a table. Luckily the owner let us in as we agreed to her that we will not take more than an hour for our meal.

My friends strongly recommend the fried noodle and bun, so we ordered them again. Beside that we had salad, the Kao Pao Chicken, and the special rice ( polo, Uyghur: پولۇ, полу) that recommend by the owner. In general, we liked the food we'd ordered, but a little disappointment in the rice. Honestly I have tasted similar to this and even better in the Turkish restaurants. We all loved the Kao Pao Chicken served in this place rather than the authentic Shi-Chuan Style Kao Pao Chicken which comes with lots of dried chili and peanuts. Neverthless, we all found that there wasn't enough vegetable. I guess this should be the typical Uyghur cuisine??.🙄

Talking about the drink selection they offer here, a restaurant that doesn't serve beer is quite unusual for Germans. Especially in Germany! We ended up ordered 2 bottles of water. I tried to comfort my husband by telling him that modern Uyghurs are primarily Muslim, so they don't consume alcohol drinks.

The dine in experience?? Now....comes to the serious topic, the SERVICE. Shall I say that the tempo of this restaurant is so hasty?! Not only I had such feeling, my friends also felt the same. We were very surprised that the dishes were served so fast, one after another, I just couldn't really enjoy the food, I even had to rush myself to swallow the food in the mouth. We agreed ONE hour for eating time, and It was not even 1/2 hour we already finished our meal, and with only a little scraps in the plates! The pace here is even faster than McDonalds or Burger King. Since there was still some time remaining, we started to take slow for the remaining food in the plates and water. In the mean time I left for restroom. By the time I came back, we had already payed and the table was cleared up with only 2 glasses which still have some water in there. I drank up the water and left the restaurant.

My friend she was not so happy about the experience this time. And my husband at end complained to me after we were home. While he was still eating the remaining food with his own plate, the waiter took away the other dishes without asking the guests who were sitting at table. Also the 2 empty glasses. We still had some water in the bottles, what were we gonna drink with? 4 people sharing 2 glasses??!! Boss lady, please and please, train your staffs!

I don't think it's fair that some guests in Google reviews said you love money and don't care about the customers. It's too subjective and personal. I know that it is not easy to run a restaurant business, and I believe for all the gastronomy owners, who wouldn't want to have good business; to have every table turned over as quickly as possible; to accommodate as many customers as possible. But shouldn't there be a balance between quality...

This spot is great for dinner or lunch. We have tried many Uyghur style restaurants and we are familiar with Uzbek and Kirgiz cuisine due to past travels. We have to say that the food here is a cut above the Uyghur restaurants usually found in the Netherlands or Belgium.

I wouldn't say that the food or taste is especially better, even though the food is quite good, but I would say that the service and atmosphere of the place really stands out from the other Uyghur places we have visited so far.

There is a modern feel to the interior design of the restaurant. The service is friendly, professional, and most of all, very fast. This feels much more like a professionally run restaurant and kitchen than your regular mom-and-pop shop, which have their charm, but the professional standard certainly makes this restaurant stand out from the rest.

Obviously, Düsseldorf is known for its many Japanese restaurants. However, when you have the dietary restrictions of a Muslim, it was not nearly as enticing to us as the halal option this restaurant provides. I think the central asian laghman certainly gives Japanese ramen a run for its money.

The thing is, when laghman has to compete against ramen, for me, the answer is simple, laghman wins every single time. Laghman is in size more similar to udon, but the al dente feel of the hand-pulled laghman noodles are just superior. The menu here is quite elaborate, and all the Uyghur staples can be found. I always endeavour to try the polo whenever I go, and, while I prefer Uzbek plov, the polo here was not bad. My wife had the dindin tsomen, which is laghman, but cut up in tiny pieces, reminiscent of italian pasta, but handmade and less heavy on the stomach. Furthermore, it was possible to get uyghur millk tea, which, much like mongolian milk tea, has added butter and is salty. This tea got me through my university days, and certainly, the tea here tasted right. I would definitely recommend to buy this tea if you want to try salty tea for once.

In terms of price, perhaps we aren't used to German prices, but we thought it was quite reasonable.

What is also very nice is the fact that there is an ATM machine nearby should you wish to pay in...

A Taste of Xinjiang in Germany: An Unforgettable Culinary Journey! My recent dining experience at Tengri Tagh Uigur restaurant was nothing short of exceptional, transporting my taste buds directly to the heart of Xinjiang. From the moment we sat down, the vibrant atmosphere and the incredible aroma emanating from the kitchen promised a memorable meal, and they absolutely delivered. The array of dishes we sampled was a true testament to the rich and diverse flavors of Xinjiang cuisine. The two bowls of noodle soup, prominently featured in one of the photos, were a highlight. The broth was incredibly rich and flavorful, perfectly complemented by tender slices of meat and an abundance of fresh green onions and cilantro. It was a comforting yet exhilarating dish, bursting with authentic spices. We also indulged in the steamed buns, which were perfectly fluffy and seemed to melt in the mouth – a delightful accompaniment to the more robust dishes. The second photo showcases an impressive spread of additional dishes that truly rounded out our feast. The grilled skewers, with their perfectly charred edges and succulent meat, were seasoned to perfection, offering that distinctive Xinjiang BBQ flavor that is so hard to find outside the region. The stir-fried dishes, with their colorful bell peppers, onions, and what appeared to be delicious noodles and tender meats, were equally impressive, demonstrating a masterful balance of textures and spices. Every plate that arrived at our table was a work of art, both visually appealing and incredibly delicious. Beyond the exquisite food, the service was attentive and the overall ambiance was warm and inviting, making for a truly enjoyable evening. For anyone in Germany craving an authentic and outstanding Xinjiang culinary experience, Tengri Tagh Uigur restaurant is an absolute must-visit. We left feeling completely satisfied and already planning our next return. Five stars...
