Probably one of the better Uygur restaurants where food comes out hot, fresh and delicious. We got a bit carried away ordering and couldn’t stop eating the delicious food. If you haven’t tried uyghur cuisine this place will open your mind, tastebuds and convert you into an uyghur food lover!
First time for me to try Uyghur food, and found Tangritah's food outstanding! I have returned now and find that my favorite is the Cumin Lamb, although the Laghman is also quite good. And their yoghurt drink is perhaps my favorite drink anywhere!
The new look to this restaurant is really working in favour for this place. Had lunch there today and everything we ordered was amazing and didn’t take long to arrive at our table.
For anyone who has had a bad experience here in the past, I say give this place another go...they have made major improvements. You will not be disappointed! Another tip I have is to go at a time when you know it won’t be super busy. This is a traditional Uyghur restaurant, so many of the dishes are made from scratch, hence the longer wait times, especially when it’s a full house. The handmade noodles are amazing! Thank me later.
I have been there twice in the last week and have had a pleasant experience both times. The food was amazing and the customer service was great! Very helpful staff who adjusted our orders exactly how we wanted it. Would 100% recommend!
Yeah, its small, customer service is not great, most of the time takes more than 30min to get ur order.....hey! its a small family business run buy two old couple and most of their food is handmade.
wanna better service? go somewhere expensive, wanna get ur order in 5min? go KFC😁
16 bucks for hand pulled noodle, 2.5 bucks for a shish kebab.
Mate, this place definitely worth to try.
Gr8 food, unpleasant service.
Lamb kebabs, spicy fried noodle with lamb and veggies, lamb soup, uyghur style lamb dumps soup and the sweet yoghurt drink are all bomb.
Can get real biz during din din.
Tip: don't waste the homemade chilli.
Gave the rating if 4 for the taste and quality of the lamb and chicken skewers, the lamb dumplings and the sweet yoghurt drink. But service gets a 2 rating because it is slow and there usually is only one server. The food takes ages to come out, sadly because it's done with TLC. It's THAT good and smoky and barbecuey, folks! Meats slowly grilled over charcoal. Finger licking good.
My favourite restaurant - sure it might not look like much and the staff might not speak much english but its damn tasty.
Personal favourites are the lamb kebabs and the lamb buns, both very authentic. Noodle dishes are also great, dumplings are kind of plain. Ayran drink goes well with everything.
Great value for money.
This is a simple place, but if I'm driving by and I'm hungry, I always stop in for the Chochura dumpling soup. Parking can be inconvenient and the service is eccentric in a charming, foreign way.
Lamb skewers. The lamb skewers were tasty with huge flavour. They are using the traditional way to flavour and cook it, hence it tasted really good.
Yumm yummm. We love that stir fired spicy noodles with lamb ,it's No.25 on the menu , that's my second time been there , I will definitely come back again soon. Just one things, u may wait for more then 20 minutes for get your dish . I saw that they were only 3 people working at this very busy restaurant , old couple and their daughter ,I think. Any way , food is yummy . Can't wait to go there again .!
I am a one of regular customer of this lovely , small restaurant . The restaurant is very simple , just very simple , running by old couple . service is just so so ,I always take the drinks ,cutlery and menu by myself,but its okay for me.Because the food is amazing. Its amazing! I love that hand made noodles with lamb,and their chicken wings kebabe. But u really need to let them know if u cant eat any spicy . cuz most of dishes are hot spicy . lovely family restaurant and lovely people there.
Best Uyghur restaurant in Adelaide. We have Tarim Uyghur restaurant just around the corner from our house BUT we love this place way more that we're willing to drive from Modbury to the city just to eat here. I've been walking past this place for the past 3 years and have always noticed how packed it was yet never ventured inside. My friend told me that she went there & hated the service but was conflicted because she loved the food.
One Friday night, my partner and I just couldn't agree on what to eat so we finally decided to eat there & see whether their food is better than how his mum cooks it. Boy, were we blown away!?
It's been our regular haunt now... we always order the same things and surprisingly the bill is still under $50!!! We order 5x lamb shashliks, dumplings, lamb soup and noodles. We have yet to try the chicken/potato/noodle dish.
Be warned that the owners are not prone to smiling. Hahaha but don't be put off by it, if you can look past the unsmiling faces and the decor, you'll surely enjoy the food. ^_^
A bit different, but in a very good way!. This is a hidden treasure on Grote Street. The front is very unassuming and plain, with just a few pictures of some food in the front window. Walk in and it looks a little depressing, with rows of what look like old school desks pushed together with plastic table cloths on top. Order the lamb pie and dumplings and be prepared to be blown away. The food is magnificent; Uyghur cuisine (from Western China) is unlike anything else I've ever had. It seems to be a fusion of Asian and Middle Eastern, but it is sublime. Also quite inexpensive. Will have to try the Shishkebab one day. Portions are enormous. Staff are wonderful. One of my very favourite restaurants in Adelaide.
Food are so authentic and great for value, love it. But don't expect you will have table services.

Homey, spicy, value for money. Went with a large group and we each ordered a dish or two.
The skewers of lamb and chicken were amazing - beautiful charcoal flavour. An eggplant and veggie dish was so good we fought each other to soak up the juices with naan bread. The lamb pie was also yumbo. It's Halaal so no alcohol. The spiciness was that perfect balance of exciting and warming without being bitterly hot. The various noodles were silky and amazing.
If I could wave a magic wand, it would be to make a few more vegetarian and chicken dishes available. It was a very lamb-heavy menu and unfortunately they were out of what looked like a very nice tofu dish.
Definitely go with a large group - this is a tiny restaurant not set up to provide an intimate dining experience for two. We had a table of 8 and that was the perfect sized group.
The atmosphere reminded me of someone's grandmother's house - knick knacks on the wall, dollar store vinyl tablecloths and plastic chairs and it's not in a flashy part of town. Trust me, you won't care once the food arrives.
Top birthday surprise. Great value for money. friendly family restaurant, welcomed babies handled nappy change with aplomb.
Different and great food (Spiced Eggplant etc mixed vegetables excellent, also the lamg & chicken kabobs and the dumpling soup (& the lamb pie and the special lamb & bread). Very inexpensive value for money.
One mild criticism, there was no diet coke or pepsi or similiar diet drink. Will recommend to friends
The place and the people were charming the fried Rice lamb raisins accompanied by carrot orange pepper and etc salad to go back for. Regulars recommend the handmade noodles. Will be going back for the 'pie' and the kebabs.

Have you ever walked past a dingy looking restaurant with dated decor, clear plastic table cloths covering lace table cloths, lavender washed walls and random hanging pictures of Egypt and thought 'I want to eat there!'? Well I found myself in this situation on a Friday night, wanting to try out Tangritah Uyghur Shish Kebab Restaurant on Grote St, which always seemed to pull a solid crowd. With none of the dining party ever having tried Uyghur (pronounced wee-gur) food before, we had no idea what to expect or even what to order. This doesn't happen very often given that most of my friends are avid foodies. Lucky the A4 primary school binder menus we were provided with had photos! After much deliberation, we decided on Lamb Pie (Gush Nan), Lamb Dumplings (Su Mantisi), Lamb Kebabs, Chicken Kebabs, and Stir Fried Chicken with Vegetables (Tohu Qorumisi). First to come out was the Lamb Pie and this set the Uyghur food experience bar very high. The Lamb Pie was a flaky, short pastry encasing
Cheap, tasty Uyghur food – specialties like dumpling soup, shishkebabs and lamb pan pies. Hearty and warming food.
The place is really nice so you can have a pleasant time there. The staff works good and were kind. The food is delicious, this place serves food from tajikistan which gives a plus because of the taste.
They have different plates, i ordered fried noodles with beef and were so tasty, also, i ordered lamb kebabs which were fabulous. The size of the small order is enough for one person. They have big plates which i think are for two or more people.
A very tasty Uyghur delicacy. We had lamb and chicken skewers, flat noodles with fried chicken and hot and sour potato. The portion is quite big, we had a large one, enough for 3-4 people.
The best point it is halal restaurant, and the food is fine, it is just our taste doesn’t match with the dishes. Good environment and friend service so 5/5 in this area.
Tried the lamb rice for lunch. It was excellent! The other food options look amazing. Great flavours and family feel. Will definitely come back again.
Had the whole place to ourselves for lunch! Was like travelling to another country in your lunch-break without the hassle of airports etc. Loved the team work of the family in the kitchen. Was like visiting family. Will definitely go back. Great food!
This is a very family friendly restaurant and has a relaxed family vibe. Plenty of booth style seating which feels nice and cosy. The staff are very polite and friendly.
The food is great and well priced. The Ayran milk drink is sweet and tasty, certainly worth trying and something a bit different for some.
The hand made noodles are awesome as are the spicy fried green beans (great flavour balance). The Dumplings are also tasty as is the fried lamb and bread.
Always happy to visit and never disappointed. I would certainly recommend a visit.
Wow, lamb and chicken wing charcoal grilled skewers were out of this world! Egg and chives and spicy noodles perfect accompaniments.
