I’ve come to this restaurant many times over the years, it used to be one of my favourite places in the Netherlands. But I’ll never come again after today. 😡 The food was alright, but more than 1,5 hours we spent there were just WAITING AND WAITING AND WAITING…… We only ordered 3 dishes and waited for 45mins for them (there weren’t even that many people when we arrived). Then we ordered extra noodles but guess how long we’ve waited for that? The waiter told the other table who also ordered extra noodles that they ran out of noodles and were making new noodles (I overheard it because they never bothered to inform us too). So we kept waiting. After a while, our food went completely cold so we asked the waiter whether we could reheat that dish, they told us that they could do that when the noodles were ready. After ONE HOUR of waiting, we decided to pay and go without the noodle and the waiter said the noodles still needed 20 more mins. WELL YOU SHOULD HAVE LET US KNOW THAT IT WOULD TAKE SO LONG WHEN YOU WERE TELLING PEOPLE TO WAIT FOR IT RIGHT???? I mean…. If you don’t have enough cooks or waiters, don’t open up that many tables for reservations!!!! I saw a lot of people complaining about the waiting on Google maps and other platforms, I still came because I was a loyal customer and I really liked the food. But tbh, the food was not even as good as before and the waiting just made it a very disappointing experience. I’ll never come here again and never recommend to my friend to come here cuz I don’t want them to suffer too. 😡 Hey new owner of this restaurant, I hope you know you should hire more staff or get rid of half of your tables to maintain customer satisfaction. Right now it’s just chaos and very...
Read moreThis was a terrible dining experience all around. We went for lunch hoping to try Uyghur food for the first time. The place was freezing, we had to wear our jackets throughout the whole meal. The server was clueless, didn't bring out any plates or cutlery before the food came. Mains came before the apps, which we told them to cancel, they ignored us and brought them out last. Thank god they did, as that was the only item sort of edible in the whole meal. The lamb stir fry was over salted and barely edible. Not good. But edible. The chicken and noodles, horrible. Over salted and so spicy it burned. Like they poured 500 grams of salt and 20 chili peppers in the sauce. The butter beans, so salty you couldn't take more than one bite; just as bad as the chicken. The pot of tea was decent, if you think 19 euro for tea makes sense. The server was clueless, we gave our feedback on the food and some random dude came out from the back, shrugged his shoulders, and went back to the (sort of dirty) kitchen. Oh, the icing on the cake, no credit card or debit card accepted. Cash or WIRE TRANSFER. Avoid avoid avoid! Chinatown is right around the corner. Maybe you might know a Uyghur person and can try the food made by someone who actually cares. These people didn't. Their food is awful. The service sucks. And you can't pay by any type of card (which isn't advertised anywhere upfront). Worst dining experience in the Netherlands after 5 visits. This includes bad fast food decisions at 2am in Amsterdam and at several train stations. This was really bad. I expect them to be out of...
Read moreVisited TAAM Uyghur Restaurant in Den Haag, conveniently tucked away in a small alley in the city center. The location is ideal for a culinary adventure. This was our first time trying Uyghur food, and we were pleasantly surprised by its unique combination.
The menu boasts a wide array of options, predominantly featuring lamb dishes. First, we opted for the Toho Kodrak, a Big Plate Chicken Fries. The portion was impressively large, even with the "middle-large" portion, which could easily satisfy four people. The chicken was tender and juicy, enveloped in a rich, flavorful sauce, perfectly balanced by large slices of potatoes. The addition of thick, chewy noodles made the dish even more delightful. A little secret tip: you can request extra thick noodles!
Next, we tried the Gol Piyaz Gosh Korumisi, featuring sautéed lamb slices with scallion. This dish was intensely flavorful and salty, with the lamb cooked to perfection—tender and succulent. Pairing it with potatoes, rice, or noodles is highly recommended to balance out the saltiness.
We also enjoyed the Purchak Kurghak Korumisi, a dry-fried string/green beans dish. The beans were crisp and fresh, seasoned just right, making it a delightful and healthy side dish that complemented the meat dishes perfectly.
The restaurant’s décor is a beautiful blend of Middle Eastern, Central Asian, and Chinese influences, creating a unique and inviting atmosphere. The portions are generous, and the prices are quite reasonable, making it a fantastic value for the quality and quantity of...
