Baghven Uyghur Cuisine

Came here with some friends to try Uyghur cuisine. I’m a pretty open person when it comes to trying new food and this is totally new to me. We ordered a good selection of the menu and everything was surprisingly good. I did notice that there was a lot of lamb in the menu which I did not mind. TIP: if you are eyeing the honey cake, make sure you preorder as there is VERY limited supply. I still have not gotten the chance to try this cake yet.

I ate the most tender and flavourful lamb kebabs of my life there tonight! And the cucumber salad, dumplings and stir fried beef noodles hand pulled rounded out a perfectly balanced and delicious meal. Every dish was made with love. I could taste it. I love trying new things, but Uyghur food was a huge mystery to me before I tried it. Having no idea of what to expect, my expectations were lower. They were easily surpassed, and I can hardly wait to return soon.

Was a great experience. Foods are spicy and if you have allergies, be careful. The host is amazing, she is very keen, polite and organized. It's a kind of adventure if you want to experience Uyghur's food.

I happened to stumble upon this place when I visited Paragon Tea Room very good teas, if you haven't been. The name is interesting, and I've always been fond of northern Chinese cuisine. We went in for an early dinner at 4 pm. We ordered homemade samosa, lamb skewers, big plate chicken, and hand-pulled beef noodles. When the samosa came, it was hard and barely warm. I asked the server why was it not hot, and she said that since they just opened and it was in the oven for a while. This doesn't make any sense. She offered to have it warmed up, but honestly, it will make no difference. I'm the type of person who once I bit into my food, and if it doesn't taste good, I wouldn't force myself to eat the rest. The other three dishes were just as terrible. Lamb skewers tasted NOTHING like what I usually had at other Chinese restaurants. The beef was tough and the noodles were funny looking. The potatoes in the big plate chicken were too cooked and the flavour was off. I'm so disappointed in this restaurant. We ordered their popular honey cake call a day in advance to preorder this. We lucked out today because I forgot to preorder it. We decided to take this home because, towards the end of the meal, we smelled some sort of gas. We were uncomfortable sitting there. We had the honey cake at home and it was decent. I cannot believe this place had so many good reviews. I gave this two stars solely for the good service. I DO NOT recommend coming here. If you want real northern Chinese cuisines, please go to Richmond where it's authentic and the food is hot.

I have been wanting to come over for so long. And I am finally here and I am not disappointed at all!! I highly recommend all my friends to come over. I don’t know what is authentic but they taste soooooo good. And decor is super neat as well. Would definitely come again!!Recommended dishesHomemade Samosa 3

If you are looking for a new and exotic food experience this is a great place to go. It is a family business with the parents and daughter obviously from Xinjiang, although the daughter is fluent in English. They are very friendly and down to earth. My family and I have been there twice for dinner and have tried most of the dishes on the menu and they have all been very different and delightful.

We dined in on a weekend for dinner. It's nice cozy place. They welcomed us with complementary black tea. It was so needed for us after a long walk in the cold evening. Ordered the following 1. Lamb Dumpling- over priced for bite sized momos. Not that special 2. Soba noodles with lamb kebab- noodles was cold with hot meat on top and cucumbers on the side. The server explained this item was eaten like that and enjoyed more on hot summer days. However, it was a cold day and we were tired. So requested to warm up the noodles since we were craving some hot food. 3. Stir fried beef leghman- tasted good. Ordered it reading other reviews. Next time would order the diced leghman, that way it would be easier to eat it. Place is clean. Food served nicely. Servers explained us the menu with patience and help us place the order. Personal opinion- expected more variation in taste reading the fellow reviewers reviews. Overall, ok.

This is the most authentic Uyghur restaurant I have tried in Vancouver. Food is fresh and tasty. I tried the lamb skewers, lamb feet, and stir-fried diced noodles, it tastes exactly like what I've tried back in Xinjiang. Service was great and friendly, we will definitely come back again to try the other dishes.

Been to multiple Uyghur restaurants across canada. This one was not the best one we’ve been to but it was still good, here’s why: Lamb skewers: taste was absolutely incredible however it was too small and there were not enough pieces. It was 3 skewers for $12 which was a bit overpriced compared to other locations Diced leghmen: taste was incredible, definitely recommend. Everything else was alright, I’d appreciate if there more portions of meat and potatoes but otherwise it was not bad. Needless to say if you want Uyghur you can still go here. Love the service, such great people just hopefully some things can change about the portions

Authentic Uyghur restaurant, just recently opened. Food was very delicious and prices are nice. We ordered 5 dishes and dessert, all were very tasty. Only the chicken was a little bit spicy for me. Overall, it’s a great place for family dinner. Will definitely be back.
