About Kiroran Silk Road Uyghur Restaurant

Charcoal-grilled lamb skewers, steaming platters of Da Pan Ji, and zero corkage make this long-running Uyghur mainstay a premier CBD gathering spot. Walk up the stairs off Harbour Street and slide into a lively room filled with clinking bottles and deep bowls. Diners return for the spear-sized skewers—tender lamb laced with cumin and chili, seared directly over charcoal—alongside flaky lamb-filled samsa pastries. Bring a crew to tackle the massive bowls of braised chicken tossed with potatoes and hand-pulled flat noodles, perfect for soaking up every drop of spiced sauce.

  • Charcoal Lamb Skewers: Charcoal-grilled skewers arrived packed with lean, juicy Australian lamb rubbed in signature cumin and chili spices.
  • Hearty Da Pan Ji: Massive communal bowls of spiced chicken and potatoes served over wide hand-pulled noodles.
  • No-Fee BYO: Alcohol-free dining room welcoming outside drinks with no corkage fees.

    The casual Sydney CBD dining room offers an accessible gathering environment where diners can drink their own beverages alongside flavorful meals.

  • Smoky Charcoal-Grilled Kawap

    Spear-sized lamb skewers seasoned with cumin and chili deliver tender texture and deep charcoal char straight from the grill.

    My favourite was the charcoal lamb skewers, they were so soft, delicious and the taste was Smokey and extremely flavourful!!

  • Time-Tested Skewer Craft

    Seasoned skewers and rib skewers maintain a high standard of tenderness and flavor that keeps longtime diners returning for years.

    They use Ausie lamb, and the meat is always juicy, tender, and well-seasoned. Simple, but done really well.
