One of the less known Uygur restaurant in Melbourne. The owner is very friendly and accommodating. The lamb kebab have the right flavour but too bad the meat is a little chewy. The salad is the star of the whole meal. It's packed a little spicy punch and refreshing at the same time!

I guess this place for those who have a taste for north Chinese food. I liked the pilaaf as thr lamb was very soft and juicy.. The much talked about lamb skewers were just ok. Wife summarized by saying that the place was ok ok types.. Her way of saying that it was just average. Staff was good and f
Authentic Uyghur cuisine with quality dishes.
It's like Turkish influenced Chinese food so quite different from usual Chinese.
Stir Fried Noodles with Chili, Chives & Lamb 5/5

Traditional Nanh (Bread) with Braised Tender Lamb Ribs 5/5
Tasty and hearty dishes prepared with love. The decor, warmth & hospitality and dishes felt like we were guests at the owner’s home. A proper family run re
beautiful food, extra ordinary kebabs, and the tea was really nice and light. The customer care and service was exceptional. Me and my friend were 45 minutes early, the owner still entertained us with a smile and wonderful food
We recommend this restaurant to everybody we know. Brilliant and unexpected. Get eight people together, give the restaurant a day's warning, and try the Deep Fried Lamb Leg. If you're in a hurry, try the deep fried lamb ribs.
Change of ownership in May 2018. Menu has slightly changed, we ordered the famous Lao Tjia Chicken Noodle spicy + lamb skewers, they were still as good.
New business name: Tarim Diyari Uyghur
Spoke to the new owner briefly, they are authentic Uyghur Xin Jiang from Northern China.
China? Been there? North China?
If you have ever gone to the orient, headed up north, and tasted their food, you will find it here. A carefree and easy place like this deserves all the stars it is given.
When walking into Lao Tiajia it is an unassuming little spot. A collection of Chinese bottles
