Best Central Asian / Uyghur Restaurants in Melbourne

Central Asian and Uyghur cuisine sits along the historic Silk Road, blending Turkic, Persian, and Chinese influences, hand-pulled noodles (laghman), skewered lamb kebabs, and plov, a rice pilaf with meat and carrots, are signature dishes across the region. Bread, usually a flat, tandoor-baked style, accompanies most meals. Cumin, lamb fat, and dried fruit are common flavour notes distinguishing it from neighbouring Chinese or Middle Eastern cooking.
