Eerkins Uyghur Cuisine - Washington

The food at any of Eerkin's locations is fantastic and consistently good. The portions are generous, enough for 1-2 people, and the lamb is exceptional. The hand-pulled noodles are always worth the trip, and it's great that they offer delivery as well! The spring rolls are fresh, and everything we tried was delicious. It seems this location has new owners, so the mint lemonade wasn't quite what we remember, but the service was very friendly, and we will definitely be back!

The food was good and the atmosphere was pleasant. However, it was a bit pricey! We absolutely loved the beef khazan kabab; it was excellent! Overall, I would rate the food 4 out of 5.

I wish I could give this place 10 stars because of Van, the waitress. She is great! Quick, cordial, considerate. These qualities are rarity these days in waiters/waitresses most of whom think they are entitled to tips without providing excellent service.Van knows when a customer is running out of napkins. In most places you need beg for extra napkins and wait.I usually go to Eerkin 's whether in Fairfax or DC to eat gam bian soman. Bostan makes it too but Eerkins ' is exceptional. Delicious sambosa (samsa) too.Eerkin 's in DC is cozy and beautifully decorated too.Highly recommending it.

Everything was amazing, owners and employees were very nice and respectful. I tried the samsa the Laghman and the mango lassi, very delicious and not too spicy for an American.Food: 5/5

Stoped by for appetizers only and sat outside. We had hummus and pita bread, and Uyghur Salad. The salad was pretty good and tasted authentic. Hummus tasted like it was made at the restaurant (not store bought).The outside seating isn’t too appealing. Lost of traffic going down the road and lots of cars parking for other restaurants’ food pick up, so I would recommend sitting inside. We did peek at the interior and it’s beautifully decorated and looks authentic.The prices were on the high end. Appetizers are about $12, main courses are starting at $19 and up.Parking is difficult to find. We parked all the way by the Russian Embassy and walked down.
