    I ordered kabab from this restaurant and when I got home and opened the box, most of the food was burnt and not properly cooked. It was not edible and not what I expected based on what I paid. I contacted the restaurant right away to request a refund or replacement, but they refused and said they could not do anything. I was very disappointed with both the food quality and the customer service. I hope the restaurant takes this seriously and improves food quality control before serving customers.

    I visited this restaurant with my daughter last evening and the experience was excellent. The service was solid as was the ambiance and food. We ordered the cheese stuffed cigars, which were flakey, warm and delicious. My daughter ordered the beef noodle soup, which was similar to Pho. She enjoyed it, but preferred my Mongolian beef, which was top tier and maybe the best version I have ever had. I recommend giving them a try. They are very flexible in adjusting spice too.

    Meat pie

    Really good restaurant for unique Asian cuisine. My fiancée and I had considered this restaurant many times and finally chose to do it. We were mostly impressed with the food. The samsa was good but kinda just tasted like a basic burger in my opinion. The meat pie was the best appetizer by a mile. It reminded us of something similar we had eaten in Greece last year. The flavors are amazing and the yogurt dip is phenomenal. The big plate chicken definitely lives up to the name. It takes about 25 mins to cook but it is amazing. The noodles taste fresh and the sauce has so much flavor to it. There was enough food that we both were full and there was still enough for two meals the following day. The service and ambiance were pretty typical. There was nothing over the top about it but the staff were friendly and helpful.

    Korma Chop 3/5 my brother likes it though.

    Added a side of rice for the chicken stew. Service we had nolly? Molly? She's always sweet and pleasant. I really enjoyed the texture of the flat noodles.

    Dolan Uyghur is located inside a plaza with plenty of parking and the restaurant itself has a lot of seating available. The servers were all extremely nice and easy to chat with (at least one knows how to speak fluent mandarin lol) and gave us really good recommendations. This is a great place to try out Uyghur cuisine! Everything was delicious!

    Love this spot!! Service is always hospitable and the food is delicious. You have plenty of menu items to choose from. I'd highly recommend ordering one of their teas/coffee with a dessert item.

    Ordered Cold Ski Noodle and Egg Noodle. The 面筋 in egg noodle tastes staled like having gone bad. There was no 面筋 at all in other orders. Very disappointed with the quality and quantity of the food.

    Uyghur Pilaf with Lamb Shank

    Saturday evening just me & my husband visited this restaurant . Delicious food very different. We ordered vegetarian samsa . It was made with butternut squash . Very flavorful loved the shell soft yet tasty . We ordered Lamb shank on a bed of rice pilaf. Very good and delicious . Rice was cooked to perfection not spicy at all .Lamb was soft and spice flavored to perfection .

    Meal was delicious. It's a familiar, yet different, flavor profile. Deducted 1/2 star because the portions could be larger.

    I've been to Bostan in Arlington and LOVED the food, so I decided to give Dolan a try tonight. I was happy to see so many similar dishes on this menu. When I walked in, the decor was beautiful, with the beautiful ceiling, lamps, and portraits. The service was subpar. Despite having many open tables, they were unable to seat my party of 3 because all the empty tables had dirty dishes on them, or the tablecloth was heavily stained. We were able to scan the QR code to look at the menu ahead of time, but the wait was long to be seated. I checked in on Yelp and was granted a free mushroom salad and was so excited to try it, but when I showed the waitress, she told me it is only redeemable at their DC location, and they were unable to give it to me.. that was disappointing. I ordered the Dolan Royal Laghman which was yummy. It was a hand pulled noodle dish with mushroom, cabbage, onion, red and green bell peppers and beef. I ordered it with medium spice but I definitely could have ordered for it to be spicier! I think it is dependent on the cuisine and your spice tolerance though. I'd give the dish a 3.5/5. When it came time for the check, our waitress would walk by multiple times but never made eye contact to give us the check. We waited for a very long time after we finished eating. Service was soooo slow! It seemed like there was only one waitress for the entire restaurant. Overall, the food was delicious but the service was truly lacking and made our experience one where I don't think I'll return to. I do recommend trying Uyghur food though and I am hopeful to trying Eerkins in Fairfax.

    I got the karma chop with beef. It is a spicey dish with thick noodles and beef. It was tasty Went there a bit after lunch time so the restaurant was not so full. Service is by a young girl herself so not enough as I assume. The decorations all over the restaurant is blue walls with their country wise big pictures. It gives it authentic look.

    One star is for presentation and making a dish the looks great! But the lamb shank tasted old and was hard to chew. We were really hoping for a better tasting meal. The kung pao chicken was ok. The worst part is the waiter came to take the order but got a phone call and instead took that and walked away. Not sure if we caught them on a bad day but we won't be back to find out.

    Third visit to Dolan after about 1.5 years. Wall colors changed from Cream to Blue (why ). We ordered samsa (mediocre), royal laghman (good, as before), Manta (mediocre) and lamb Kebab (very disappointing). Overall it was a mediocre experience and probably we need to find another a uighur restaurant.

    Are the helping generous? In the pics they look pretty small. A lot of Indian restaurants nowadays give small helpings, is this one like those?

    Yes their serving portions are pretty generous .

    I'm veg and I see noodles with "veggies" in it. I also see Tofu. Is the chef okay with making a veg meal? I'm not sure what the veggies include, but I can alter a meal? The korma sounds delicious, but choice of protein being tofu.

    I don't see why they wouldn't make a fully veggie meal. After all, they do have vegetarian dishes such as "mushroom bok choy" which was a strictly veggie meal.

The little mini salad that comes with the meals had a really good dressing, and I enjoyed it. I didn't really like the chick peas. I prefer the ones at Charcoal Kabob in Herndon which are lot more spicier. These had a more tomato flavor to them which I've experienced at other kabob places. Also didn't care for the white yogurt sauce. It tasted and felt more like a salad dressing. The green sauce was really good, and I stuck with that for dipping. Service: fast casual. You go to the counter, order, pay, and they bring the food to your table. Ambiance: nice, new, and clean. Pretty generic. You could sub in any cuisine. I thought the prices were on par with any other kabob places, only most other places serve their meals with naan. Not here, but the portion sizes are big enough to fill you up. Overall, I'm happy I came and tried it out.

The portions are great and the food quality tastes good. I normally get the platter which comes with protein and two sides. I wish it allowed a combo kabob rather than one protein. If you do combo they hike the price up l, it's an additional $7-9. I think $25 is a bit excessive, but that's typically only if you do two types of protein instead of one. Food preparation normally is about 15-20mins. There's parking out front and plenty of indoor seating.

The puri arrived hot and perfectly puffed--golden, light, and crunchy on the outside, yet soft enough to soak up every bit of flavor. Then came the Punjabi murg chole, and that's where the magic really happened. The chicken was tender and deeply seasoned, not overpowering, but rich with warmth and spice. Paired with the chickpeas, it created a hearty, comforting balance--earthy, savory, and incredibly satisfying. We all know halwa puri with chole is a classic. It's nostalgic, it's comforting, it's expected. But adding Punjabi-style chicken into the mix? That took the entire experience to another level. The chicken didn't compete with the chole--it elevated it. Every bite with puri felt intentional, layered, and indulgent. This wasn't just breakfast or brunch--it was a vibe. A bold twist on tradition that felt rooted yet exciting. If halwa puri is comfort food, then halwa puri with Punjabi murg chole is comfort food that decided to show up dressed sharp and confident. A combination I didn't know I needed--but now won't forget.
