Kroran Uyghur Cuisine in Scarborough

Absolutely has become a new favorite place of mine from the first visit. The Samsa are to die for, and the DaPanJi was excellent. Their lamb is very good quality. Overall portions are great. Service was very friendly, and were accommodating of spice level requests.

Such a warm cozy experience. The service was great. The food was delicious. We will be back for sure.

Hand pulled noodles with lamb was delicious.

Perfect example of a hidden gem. Their lamb pie was my absolute favorite.

Loved the lamb kebabs and the manti. Delicious!

Saw on tiktok, had to try , man these foodies are on hot sauce if they think this food is good. also 3 percent processing fee is ludicrous

The food is fantastic. We ordered the Quruq Qorima and it was the best noodle dish. Highly recommend and will come back definitely!

Never had any food like it! I recommend the spicy dumplings especialy on a very freezing afternoons. Great!

Hidden gem in the heart of Scarborough

We ordered dabanji L! They said it was for 4 people! And in fact for 2 people. The chicken is all boney! My advice to you is to increase the portion if you say its a large portion by 4 and put chicken meat and not just bones

Always so delicious!!!

First, I didn t take any photos of the food because they were not really worth it. So we got the Lengmen which had bland noodles but the broth was okay. The beef was a bit chewy too and we just got bored with the dish. I got the Kroran Special Qorima and that was also very lacking. The Beef to Egg ratio was so off. There was so much fried egg and it was super salty which made the whole dish intolerable. The menu is really small too, nothing exciting. Food was not worth the price. No comment about interior or service, the food itself is enough for us to not return.

Comfort food at its finest..the lamb was falling off the bone..so delicious.

I ordered mutton and mutton soup, both of which were lacking. Changing the flowers allows you to spend more money and eat less!

Great authentic Uygur cuisine. I wish they would play authentic Uyghur music instead of Turkish music. Which in my opinion far superior to Turkish music

Yummy!! Must try!!

Great authentic Xinjiang food. A rare find in Toronto! Service was quick and attentive, and the owner offered us free yogurt, which was a nice touch.

Ive always driven by this place and remained intrigued about it until I tried it out today on a whim Wow. The food here is full of flavour, perfectly cooked, portioned with extreme generosity, and made me write this review as Im sitting at the restaurant just after finishing my meal. The lamb skewers, while a little pricey, are so well cooked, is filling, and so goddamn good. The Manta is fire. The dapanji was the star of my meal with perfectly cooked thick noodles. Also, their home chilli sauce is so good! 10/10, please come have your next meal here.

best Uighur food in Scarborough!

Big kidneys, mutton skewers, halal musu meat, meat naan, steamed buns, and lamb tripe are all must-try items. It s a very cozy shop. Dietary restrictions: Halal restaurant

The store is small and can accommodate up to about 30 people. The environment is clean and comfortable. I really can t eat many dishes when dining alone. A portion of 4 skewers of mutton skewers with naan is $24, which is suitable for sharing between 2 people or more, so I only ordered one mutton finger rice. Looking forward to trying other dishes next time we get together for dinner. Parking: Parking spaces are tight on weekends, so you can park at the back or next to the Plaza.

Lamb pie and soup is so delicious!

The boss is very enthusiastic, the restaurant and bathroom are neat and clean, and the taste is good.

Great food with great atmosphere! Feels like back home again! Five stars for sure.

Best Uyghur food ever had!

Absolutely a great place, really good food and massive portions, totally recommend.

Will definitely be back for Quruq Qorima and Da Pan ji!

Alright location. Not the best service.

Was driving past this plaza and the sign caught my eye...and I was like Uyghur cuisine??? Wow. Had to try! Tried the Lamb soup and the noodles. Excellent. So lucky to have an authentic restaurant like this in Toronto.

Atleast come here 2x a month, everything is spot on, but lately the kebabs they serve is very chewy and their chefs says it always was like that. Without acknowledging the mistakes.

Biggest lamb skewers Ive ever eaten, everything tasted fresh and the flavour was to my liking (as a person with a lighter palate, thats really hard to come across nowadays).

Amazing halal Dietary restrictions: 100% halal Food : 5/5 |

The service here is the worst , bad customer service , specially the (brown girl ) lots of attitude!!

Lately the food has been very bad specially the lamb kabob its very chewy and they use a lot of fat now ! , waste of money not worth it at all , I dont recommend this place to anyone, bad costumer service !

Great food and service! Will come again.

good service and good food:) we ll be back

Lamb skewers, noodles, dumplings were all amazing. As Keith Lee says, there s no reason they shouldn t be out the door.

very friendly and good food!!

Good lagman and samsa

Very tasty Uyghur food. All dishes were full of flavor. Samsa and lengman are the best ever.

This spot is a hidden gem! The food is extremely delicious and service is just as good! Food

The food is delicious and the service is also very good. I like it! !

Very delicious

Very delicious! Already adding to my favorite list.

Wonderful food, very delicious.

Great food

The food was amazing. Perfectly cooked and just delicious. The service was great. Everyone staff member was kind and got us what we want. The atmosphere was also not bad there werent that many people and it wasnt loud at all. Just a really underrated spot and it deserves more fam.

Great food! Mild in spice but flavourful, highly recommend

Amazing place with Halal food! First time trying Uyghur Cuisine, and will definitely be back for more! If you come here try the Quruq Qorima, it was amazing!

Great halal food, friendly owner, awesome service. Dietary restrictions: Halal Food : 5/5 |

great place, the food was amazing

Very goood food. Amazing customer service. Must try!

It s my first time here, and the taste is very good ! I will come again next time!The lamb skewers are very delicious!

Delicious food, fast service

Our first experience of Uyghur food. We ordered lamb kebab, a noodle dish with beef and vegetables and manta (steamed buns with lamb and onion filling.) Everything was delicious. The place was not busy so it was nice to chat with the owner about Uyghur cuisine and culture.

Amazing food and attentive waitress, can t wait to come back!

Absolutely loved the food and service provided y Anita

First time trying Uyghur food and it was delicious!

Lamb here is awesome.

Great Uyghur cuisine , delicious lamb skewers. Very friendly staff

Amazing food specially kebab.

Great fooooood!!! We order Holo and fried noodles with oil, so happy. It s been over a week of no Dingding fried noodles, hope to have it next time!

The food here is AMAZING! It is hot, seasoned well and simply delicious. The prices may seem very expensive but trust me, its expensive for a reason. The portions they give are crazy huge! The service is great, not too much talking so great for introverts and food took around 5-10 minutes; super fast! The restaurant itself is nice and clean, catchy music in the background and a very clean bathroom! All in all, will definitely be planning to come back!

our first time having uyghur food and it was very delicious!!! highly recommend if it s your first time.

Ive been here two times and both times, the food has been absolutely great. The lamb skewers are an absolute must have here!!! We also got a noodle dish and salad and for two people the three items were the perfect amount of food. The food was fast and the servers were very friendly, as the were to easily accommodate a baby under 1. Will definitely visit again and recommend!

Tried the langmen plate which was delicious... Everyone is friendly too

Ordered Manta, lamb kebabs, goshnan, kidney kabab and Dapanji. Everything was exceptionally tasty and very thoughtful service. Will be back!

Food is delicious

Great food!! Will come here again.

SO delicious and hearty, would definitely recommend!

Amazing food - authentic and full of flavour. Heard about this place a while ago and finally got around to trying it, and so glad I did. Will be coming back again for sure!

Food is very delicious!

The taste is average. There are many Xinjiang dishes in Toronto that are better than it.

Lamb Kawap and Samsa for me are two dishes to see if it is authentic, unfortunately, Samsa is oily outside, hard dough skin, tasted like refried from frozen ones, filling not fresh. Lamb kawap is good, good portion, with Nann, not meaty. Dapanji is good flavor too, but due to the raw chicken here, don t have attractive chicken aroma. Special Qorima too too much oily, we barely eat any. Polo is small portion, not much mutton as expected. Honestly I removed it from my saving list after this shot. Plus gratuity is included automatically, kind of more than 15%. Hubby didnt have the detailed receipt

Great food and good service in a great atmosphere. Halal food and yummy handmade noodles

Perfect

Good

Salted milk tea and lamb Kawab are good!

I usually order from this restaurant with Uber Eats. The food is excellent, tastes always delicious.

I had the pleasure of dining Korean Uyghur cuisine with my husband today. Trust me it is a gem for anyone looking to experience authentic Uygur cuisine. We just felt like eating at back home . The kidney kabob and chuchura alone are worth the visit, and the rest of the menu promises equally delightful discoveries. Highly recommended!

The kebab was very tender and delicious, reminded me of the exquisite dishes back at home

The lamb kebabs were delicious!

Goooooood foooooood

Best food and the nicest staff!!

Food is good , service good if you can sell half lamb platter that will be good so you can get main course noodles or rice and bbq if you are one person or two . Just suggestion but overall food is nice and Anita was very friendly

Amazing food! This just became my new favourite restaurant. We got the manta, lamb kebab, pulao, and the naan kebab dishes. Everything was cooked to perfection. 10/10

100% halal. Real Uyghur food. Kid-friendliness: Children like it. Food : 5/5 |

We had first great experience here, the marinated spaghetti with veggie & meat was amazing. As an Afghan & Turkish family experienced a lots of taste & foods. Korean is best with best service from Nicky.

Bbq kidney is really good! Dapanji is below average. Food

I love trying new food and this was amazing the lamb was so delicious the pie like thing was very oily but I still loved it!

We had an incredible dining experience at this Uyghur restaurant. The service was excellent, and the food was simply fantastic. I highly recommend the Dapanji - we ordered the portion for 2-3 people, and it was more than enough for 4 adults and 2 kids, with leftovers to take home. A must-visit!

Nice premises with friendly atmosphere and staff, good menu selection variety, and flavourful dishes - we ll be back !

Amazing and authentic Uyghur food. Juicy Manta dumplings with lamb, the polov was moist and flavourful, and the lamb skewers are a must get, tender and juicy. Great food, definitely a Scarborough hidden gem.

Amazing food , met and spoke to the owners who were soo sweet and even gave us a little gift. 10/10 recommend

Very authentic food. Suitable for both kids and adults. The food was served really fresh and hot! Will definitely come back again.

delish, got free noodle refill!

Anita is an amazing server

Anita is an amazing server!! She is so kind and sweet! Loved the food and ambiance aswell !

Authentic Xinjiang cuisine, the mutton soup is really delicious and a must-try!

Kroran is probably the best Uyghur restaurant I ve been to. Their Lengmen and Uyghur Chicken is absolutely amazing. Although the size of the restaurant itself is smaller, the vibe is super chill. I also love the authentic Uyghur art and decoration. The people working there are really nice too.

Good food

The mutton kebabs and fried lamb tripe are delicious! But there are no delicious vegetarian dishes. It is recommended to buy them and take them home to eat with other dishes.

Uyghur chicken and Lamb kawap was so good. I will definitely come again!

Me and my family came here for celebrating the Mother s Day. We had Manta, Quruq qorima, Lamb kawap and Polo. Everything tastes really good and I strongly recommend them all.

I ordered the Quruq Qorima, Lengmen, and Mante and it was all delicious. The portions are reasonable for the price. Probably the best Uighur resturant Ive been to so far. The atmosphere is nice and quite with beautiful decorations representing Uighur culture. Our waitress was a very friendly Nepalese lady. The owner named Rifat was very polite. Will definitely come back again with my family.

Excellent excellent and excellent food. I had no clue Asian food could be this good. We had hand pulled noodles and dumplings (manta). It was finger licking good to say the least. The other customers at the restaurant were regulars, and they mentioned that everything on the menu is a big hit. The staff is also amazing. The portions are fairly large. Theyre halal

The store is clean and tidy. The kebabs and buns taste great.

Ive heard many praises for Kroran Uyghur Cuisine and was thrilled to experience it firsthand. My visit during Ramadan resulted in a very quiet ambiance, reflecting not on the restaurants quality but the fasting period observed by its primary clientele. Here s what I ordered: Lamb Kawap (Kebab): This dish was a highlight, with four large, juicy grilled lamb skewers presented over pita bread, complemented by onion and green onion garnishes. Using a spoon, I transferred the meat to my plate, and enjoyed the meat that was tender and juicy. Smoky and earthy spices enhanced the lambs natural flavours. Kidney Kawap: A skewer per order, it had a bold, gamey flavour, with a delightful blend of smoky and spicy tastes. Quruq Qorima: An intriguing dry stir-fry featuring short, chewy noodles coated with a savoury and slightly sour sauce, primarily tomato-based. The beef slices and julienned bell pepper added layers of texture and flavour. Dry peppers scared me at first, but the overall taste was surprisingly mild. The restaurant s ambiance was understated but inviting, with tasteful decor including black tables, light brown walls, and captivating art pieces. A minor inconvenience was the single shared restroom for all genders, which could potentially lead to issues during busier times. Also, the servers availability was limited, understandable given that we were the only patrons. While the dishes were undoubtedly high quality, the total bill was higher than my expectations. A more affordable pricing would have improved my satisfaction with the meal. Overall, I had an authentic and enjoyable meal, marked by quality dishes. However, the cost considerations will influence my decision on planning a return visit for another indulgent culinary adventure.

I honestly dont like to write bad reviews for any restaurant, however the bowl of pasta for $35 is overpriced. This was the first time trying after reading the good reviews for halal Uyghur food. Very unfortunate the quruq qorima was too oily (like the chinese chili sauces you can buy at the supermarkets) and the kroran special qorima too and it was mostly a dish filled of deep fried egg pieces, with less veggies and beef. Was expecting much more flavor and less oil. I dont know about the other dishes, but the Naan was like eating dough, the crust was nice but the inside was bland no taste. Overall the food can be improved, however the waitress was nice, although working by herself. For 2 people, no drinks and 2 dishes , the total bill was over $89, which is absurd!

Great food. Nice staff. We day down less than an hour before closing and they were quite welcoming. Cash or debit only.

Delicious food, the Quruq Qorima is a personal favorite. Kroran Lengman on a cold, snowy day is so comforting Dietary restrictions: Halal

The food was really good. However, the service was not good at all. They ever charged us a 20% service fee.

First time coming here. Service was great and staff is friendly. Small restaurant so would recommend calling for reservations. The pulled noodles with beef was my favorite dish. All dishes were full of flavor. Would return to try other options off the menu and to get those noodles again.

The lamb dumplings were amazing !

Its my first time in this wonderful restaurant I was impressed, everything was delicious I remembered my hometown thank you very much!

Very tasty food and beautiful place. I havent eaten so deliciously for a long time.

Friendly and the noodles are so good! So chewy, I loved it!

First time dining here and we didnt know what to expect. The restaurant gives a home made food vibe. It was delicious and full of flavors. We were served by Nikki who was very sweet and accommodating. We went with her recommendation, the Kroran Langman which was generous in portion and very flavourful. 10 out of 10 for an intimate homy overall experience

I love how cozy and comfortable this place was! It felt so good eating there. The server was awesome and the dish we ate was so filling. Food was fresh and flavourful. Their chilli sauce was delicious! Looking forward to going back Nikki was our server and she made us feel very comfortable and helped with choices of menu too!

What a delightful experience :) We had the Manta juicy lamb dumplings (6pc). It was seasoned very well. No need to add any soy sauce like you might normally do with other dumplings at other places. We also had Dapanji spicy stewed chicken with hand pulled noodles in a delicious savory sauce. It had just enough hot peppers but they also offer their own home made chili sauce, just in case you want a bit more kick. It was a large portion so we had the pleasure of having it again a second time :) We tried the traditional salted milk tea too! It is definitely lightly salted milk tea. I would order it to have with my meal instead of a soup or regular tea. It may take some time so order it first. The server and the owner were both super friendly and sincere. We definitely recommend & will return to try the other dishes!

I tried the korma noodles with lamb it was great. On time service. Very nice and very tasty food!

Food here is mouthwatering !! Also not to mention if you are wanting to try something new Uyghur cuisine is the way to go ! Dietary restrictions: Halal Parking: Free

Too expensive. Not worth it at all.

Visited after reading online reviews. Was not disappointed. Food is flavourful and portion size is large. We had the Beef Qorima noodles, the lamb skewers, and the Mantu. Our favourite was definitely the lamb skewers. The noodles were thick and filled us up quickly so we had enough to take home. The Mantu was delicious with the vinegar and chili oil they provide on the side. The restaurant was busy and tables were full the entire time we were there. We can see why and recommend this place as a must try in Scarborough. One thing to note is that it is pricey. Those three dishes cost us $90 including taxes.

Loved it. Would absolutely come again. Tates just like home.

Great service and atmosphere! The food was flavourful and tasted great. Highly recommend the lamb skewers. I would definitely come back again!

Unbelievably delicious, huge portions, very tasty. Manta were juicy, went well with the chili oil Samsa was very flakey and buttery, tasty filling Lagman was great, lots of flavour depth Lamb kawap was the star of the meal, extremely well seasoned and fatty, ask for yogurt dip! Order the Honey Cake squares for dessert as well. Prices are fair, left feeling extremely satisfied! Dietary restrictions: Serves Halal

Its a popular spot and for good reason. The flavors were very authentic and nostalgic. Lamb skewers were delicious and had good heat. The dapanji had soft and tender chicken and great flat noodle texture. Its pretty pricey but the portion sizes are decent Avoid sitting close to the door on cold days as youll feel it when people come in/out of the restaurant. Parking: Free parking spaces in front of the restaurant

noodles was to oily.

Great food for good prices!

Amazing fresh food and comfortable environment. Extremely friendly staff!

Very tasty food and very good service.

Got a chance to visit this authentic Uyghur restaurant, the owner was really friendly and greeted us with tea. The foods were on point and I loved the taste and the quality of lamb skewers, will definitely recommend.

Its delicious and authentic Xinjiang cuisine. Its crowded on weekends, so its best to make a reservation.

Food was authentic and delicious.

Food was great, service was great and price is really good

The food is outstanding. True flavours from east turkistan.

The owner is super nice and welcoming. The food is delicious.

Good food

Great had the goshnan, very flavourful and filling!

Kuruq Korima is a must try. Always on point the same tasting flavour as well

Recently we did a take away. The food was not as advertised on the reviews. It was very disappointing. My wife felt one of the dishes had msg ( she s sensitive to it ) and there wasn t any sauce with the order. It was okay and a bit pricey. There wasn t really anything that stood out. This was pretty bland. I was hoping it would something good, but instead just decent to okay food. Tbh I would have been happy with halal guys nyc food ( the real stuff not here in Canada )

This is a hidden gem in Scarborough serving Turkic style Uyghur food a cuisine that is savoury, spicy and the best of a blend between Chinese and Indian food. The restaurant was small but cozy - clearly a mom-and-pop style, but it was clear the locals know the spot and were flowing in steadily. One waiter managed all the guests well, and we didn t have to wait more than 15-20 mins for our food. We started with the lamb manta some of the bestc, juicy dumplings I ve tasted in the GTA! The dumpling wrapper was moist, the ground lamb was steamed to perfection with just enough moisture to keep it succulent and satisfying when you take a bite! It came with a chili oil which added a much-needed acidity to the fatty lamb. Next, for the main, we ordered the Quruq Qorima - stir-fried fresh pulled noodles with beef. The noodles were coated in a chili oil and the dish came with hot peppers, but they were able to tame the spice when asked. As someone who isn t as tolerant with spice, they were able to tame it down enough for me to still enjoy the meal. The noodles are SO fresh - doughy, with just the right chew and they absorb the chilli oil and spices just enough to make for a bite you just have to keep going back for. My only complaint was there wasn t enough protein in our dish for the cost, about $35 for one family style dish. The flavours of this cuisine, though, were totally worth returning for. Overall, I would give it a solid 8/10!

Very delicious food

Food is delicious and reasonably priced given that everything is made from scratch. Service is excellent with plenty of hot tea.

Fantastic, authentic Uyghur cuisine with a great atmosphere and top notch customer service. Will definitely be coming back. The lamb kebab and hand pulled noodles are highly recommended.

Delicious Uyghur food, recommend the lamb kebab.

Never had Uyghur food before but this place hits. Skewers were top tier.

Visited this restaurant for dinner and it was great! Authentic Uyghur cuisine in a homely setting is a mainstay, and the food is prepared fresh to-order in a timely manner. The kroran lengmen is a delicious hand-pulled noodle dish with stir-fried lamb and vegetables, and worth a try! The salted milk tea also comes exactly as advertised and is a great complement to any meal. Reservations and walk-ons are both welcome, and while the seating arrangement of the restaurant can be improved, the staff do a great job at accommodating large and small groups. Its a family-owned business and our server Rifat was great and happy to answer our questions regarding the items on the menu. Definitely worth visiting for some authentic Uyghur cuisine!

We had lamb skewers, leghmen, meat pie and fresh salad. They were all tasty, but the lamb skewers were especially tender and delicious. The restaurant was kept clean and cozy. The owner was friendly and we enjoyed talking with him. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

We tried this place since it was one of those must try hole-in-the-wall places. The food was good; we ordered the Quruq Qorima and the lamb skewers; both were great but I could not believe the price. The noodle dish was priced at $35. There were 3 of us and we only had a small bit each; the lamb skewer price was ok ($24 for 4) but just one plate of noodle and lamb skewer was a whopping $67 which we found to be a bit too expensive for a family owned sort of restaurant. Good food but not worth the price point. we were not expecting the food to be priced at these price ranges; seeing that it is a Chinese fusion food, we thought it would be similarly priced to a Chinese noodle dish which would at most be $20-25.

Authentic! Tasty!! Friendly!!! Food : 5/5

Excellent food with delicious flavors and great service!

One of the most delicious Xinjiang dishes. Highly recommended.

Fantastic food and friendly service! Best Uyghur cuisine in town, we gladly drive to Scarborough for this at least once a month.

Great food, same taste as in Xinjiang

Been here a couple of times, food is always tasty. All on the menu are recommended !

Our family favourite food spot. The food has always been great quality and big portions. Highly recommend trying this type of cuisine. This is the place to try it !!!!!

Recommend to everyone

Delicious food, friendly service and quaint atmosphere

The service is also great Abdul is a nice guy. The food here is very tasty.

Taste so goooood

Nice people, hygienic place and super delicious food

Excellent Food and Service! A Must-Try!

I went with my family, the food was great! Ordered more so we could bring it home. The service was excellent and the waitress was super nice!

Amazing food

Very delicious uyghur cuisine. Highly recommended.

The good place very delicious food friendly service!!

The prices are similar to other Xinjiang restaurants, but the portions are about one-third smaller. The samsa were not freshly made; they were precooked and reheated, causing the moisture from the filling to make the buns soggy. The naan that was served with the lamb skewers had a bread-like texture, and its crust was soft, making me suspect it was bought from a supermarket rather than made in-house. The lamb kidney skewers were not well-prepared, and there was a strong urine-like odor.

Awesome! If I could put 6 stars, I would the food was excellent. Cant wait to go back

Definitely coming back for seconds

Service was very good and our order was pretty fast except the lamb buns. The samsa was good, the big plate chicken and ding ding beef noodles.. delicous food and friendly atmosphere. Lamb skewers were tasty but maybe it could be a little less fatty next time. We will be back with our friends and family.

I love their dumplings and beef noodles.

Everything from the food, service to the place was excellent. We ordered the salad (fresh and lightly dressed) lamb soup (flavourful broth with generous portions of fall off the bone tender lamb) and hand pulled noodles (chewy noodles, savoury sweet sauce) - all delicious, authentic home style taste. Service was great, all the dishes were timed perfectly, and the place was clean.

loved every bite
