Family-run Uyghur restaurant bringing the flavors of Xinjiang to Flushing since 2019. Hand-pulled laghman noodles, cumin-spiced lamb skewers, and hearty big plate chicken offer a taste of China's Silk Road region rarely found elsewhere.

A Persian-leaning grocery and pantry stop that’s most valuable when you shop like a cook: pick up herbs, spices, and staples, then round it out with ready-to-eat bites on the go. It’s not a restaurant experience—more a neighborhood resource for Middle Eastern ingredients and quick provisions.
