This was my first time trying Uyghur food and I really enjoyed it! The servers were really attentive and the restaurant is nicely decorated with cute porch seating in the front. This is a good place to take parents or for a more formal dinner! The korma chop was good, I asked for chili oil because mild wasn't spicy enough. I do wish it had more vegetables, haha

Good food- go get some, eat it and be merry- OK? Did I mention it was good food?!? (I hate that you have to do "x" amount of "characters" for each review- YELP- Please revise this policy- Sometimes less is more...

This was great restaurant with great food and service. We started with the samsa it was great. It the puff pastry was perfectly made. It was warm and flaky. The meat inside was perfectly seasoned. Also we got the UYGHUR SALAD it has tomato, onion, blueberry, feta, white vinegar, and sesame oil. Tasted fresh and crisp. The dressing added great flavor with acidity cut by the sweetness of the blueberries. Was a perfect appetizer. For entrees we got the MOM'S LAGHMAN and rib kebab. Both were very good laghman is noodle dish served with lamb. It was very good spicy but you can choose your spice level. I like it hot so it was perfect for me. The noodles were nice and tender. The vegetables were perfectly cooked as well as the lamb. The lamb ribs were perfectly cooked as well as being well seasoned. The vegetables were perfectly cooked. It was a nice level of spice. Inside it has nice home ambience to it. We also got their uyghur tea. It was nice and floral tasting. Overall a great experience would go back.

A great cafe and restaurant. They not only have quick and easy coffee and sweets area but is also a full blown restaurant where you can have Uyghur food. I tried 3 different types of baklava (comes as a plate) and a pot of caffeine free tea. Mideye Baklava was great as it was not very sweet. One of the best baklavas I have had in this area. This is a nice spot to read a book and eat some great food. Next time I will try a full meal.

Overall, I thought the food was pretty good. Service was fine. If you've never had Uyghur food, definitely try it. It's almost like having Chinese flavors mixed with Middle Eastern flavors.

I love their tea Service and staff are always so sweet and kind. Their food is Devine !!! I love the lamb and beef~ Their dry soman is not my favorite compared to Bostan, I'd give Dolan dry soman a 8.5-9 out of 10. Which is still good. It's a great little date night spot! Been here about 3-4 times after finding this place out couples months back and will continue to return. Wonderful service and staff~~~~

When I used to live in China, there was a Uyghur restaurant in my apartment complex that I ate at all the time. This place took me back to that. The restaurant was packed when I ate here. Thankfully, they have 2 floors of seating. For as busy as the restaurant was, they definitely have a system down, because our food came out very quickly. Everything was insanely delicious. If you're in DC, you should definitely try this place.

Korma chop, how are you so delicious and perfect? Your thick chewy laghman noodles are fresh and tasty. Your grilled vegetables are perfectly cooked and help me think I'm "eating healthy". Your lamb, tender and rich, fills my belly with happiness. And your amazing spices and seasonings tie everything together. In all seriousness, Dolan Uyghur is a great restaurant with friendly staff, a welcoming atmosphere, and really delicious food. Their hearty dishes were great for a cold winter night. I'm so glad that our neighborhood has a Uyghur restaurant, especially one as great as Dolan.

Maybe closer to a 3.5. Walked in for lunch on a Saturday and was seated immediately. I had: - Korma chop - The noodles had a great, springy texture, and the sauce was fine. - Lamb kebabs - These were large and juicy, although I would have loved even heavier seasoning. I definitely want to come back here to try their other noodle dishes.

There's nice outdoor seating with umbrellas. We ordered mushroom salad, Mom's Laghman, and the Kawa goshan for my sister, myself, and 4 year old nephew. The mushroom salad is served cold, it has a vinegary sauce with pickled sweet peppers and onions. The mushrooms themselves do not absorb the sauce/flavor well, so make sure to get everything in each bite. I probably wouldn't order again. Mom's Laghman was spicy (very spicy to my nephew -- he was pounding the water). Very flavorful, heat was there, but not overpowering. The noodles were soft, slightly chewy. I enjoyed this and it was a nice foil to the Kawa Goshan, which was slightly sweet with the pumpkin, and the cooking yogurt dip. These were both delicious and I recommend ordering them (or variations of) as a pair. Service was attentive. I actually had issues with the yelp app and purchasing their $5 off $20 Yelp coupon, but they still honored it. This was my first time trying Uyghur food, and it was delightful. Please consider supporting them!
