While visiting a friend in the area, we found out that restrictions had just been lifted to allow outdoor dining only. Even though this place didn't have outdoor seating, we had heard great things about it and decided to give it a try. We ordered dumplings, kebabs, and a recommended noodle dish, and the food was absolutely delicious. Despite getting takeout, the owner went above and beyond by allowing us to borrow chairs and a table to dine outside. He even provided us with black containers to use as bowls and gave each of us a water bottle to stay hydrated in the hot weather. We are so grateful for the kindness and compassion shown to us by Bogda Restaurant. Their food is amazing and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting Waterloo. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!

Despite being hungry, we decided to eat outside. The boss heard us and, after checking with us, opened a table for us. Since there were no glasses available, he gave us a couple of cokes instead. In addition, he gave us extra portions because we were so hungry. The food itself was hearty and delicious, especially the fall-off-the-bone chicken. This restaurant is a must-visit if you are looking for a hearty and satisfying meal.

The owner was friendly and I was happy to chat with her after our meal. I can't wait to try more dishes from the menu.

I miss my mom's cooking and I crave laghman from time to time. Not all Uyghur restaurant make good laghman, but Bogda's special laghman is really really good. It might look a bit expensive, but it is actually not because they serve it in big portions. I also tried mantu, which was good and I recommended it, but the laghman ? oh boy.. laghman is happines and I was so satisfied with their quality ??

The sauce is savory and flavourful but really spicy. The meat and pepper slivers seem almost an afterthought and i could have happily eaten the noodles without. The lamb skewers were probably the best lamb i have ever had. Cooked perfectly with just thr right amount of char but wonderfully soft and tender. Highly recommend. The portions are very generous, perfect for sharing or taking home for seconds the next day if your appetite is not as huge as mine.Parking: Parking is road side and can be hard to find.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaraunt is on the pedestal of a condo building. There is a wheel chair ramp but the pedestal is narrow with a peirlous drop.
