replying to u/Intrepid_Reason8906: What is the name of it? I'll have to check it out, there's one in Fidi I've been meaning to try that looks awesome: [https://www.yelp.com/biz/caravan-uyghur-cuisine-new-york](https://www.yelp.com/biz/caravan-uyghur-cuisine-new-york) I still haven't been to a Uyghur restaurant. It looks like a cross between Turkish and Chinese, spicy and amazing. Looking forward to going
