Bostan Uyghur Cuisine - Shirlington

The dried fried soman was amazing. Didn’t know what to expect for Uyghur food but was pleasantly surprised. Would go back!

I ordered Lagman, eggplant salad and Samsa (to-go).Lagman is very authentic, despite it tastes a little plain probably because of too many noodles or not enough sauce. The texture and the hardness of Lagman noodles taste exactly like what I had in Xinjiang. It also has the veggie and meat mix with sauce in a separate bowl. You can pull it over the noodles. That’s what should be for Lagman. I’ve tried other Uyghur restaurants and they pre-mixed the sauce with noodles, which impacts the texture of the noodles.Eggplants are a little burnt on the outside. But they are good overall. They tend to add extra vinegar to the veggies, which is normal for Uyghur food.Samsa is good, though a bit on the pricey side for $8ish (2pc).I may come back to try other dishes.

In photos: cut noodles — amazing. Lamb kebob — perfect, and I usually don’t like lamb. Uyghur bread — dry, should have been served with the meal, not pleasant on its own. Definitely coming back, especially for those entrees. Service was fine, a little slow. Might order out next time. Thank you chef!Parking: It’s a tight parking lot that might not have spaces so either order takeout or park in a nearby neighborhood.

We came to have a tasty meal, but in fact the food took 45 minutes to prepare and at the end they brought cold dishes. Very bad and poor place!!!

I literally don't understand why I was treated this way. I was here to grab a Togo order. When I arrived they told me to go next door I was in the wrong place. But I was at the right place. I am not sure if they just assumed I was in the wrong place cuz I was black or what.. but after that I waited for over an hour for my order after the manger told me on his way out that ot would take 20min. I was super frustrated after seeing a big party come in place they order and get there food before my order was ready. The hostess acted like she was to busy to answer any of my questions ?. I can't believe that they treated me like I didn't matter. Don't order Togo from this place because they will treat u like u don't matter
