Dolan on Silk Road

Dolan from the Sydney Morning Herald's Good Food section reviewed Silk Road, a long-running Uyghur restaurant in Box Hill. The cuisine, which emphasizes dishes made with lamb, noodles, and bread, showcases liberal use of cumin. A standout dish is chopped lamb mixed with cumin seeds and fried naan pieces, served alongside handmade noodle cubes tossed in a rich lamb mince stew. Other notable items include "wind sand" chicken wings coated in dried onion and breadcrumbs and gizzards dusted with Sichuan pepper for an intense numbing sensation. The review highlights the restaurant's attentive service and generous portions along with hand-painted murals depicting cultural scenes, making Silk Road a cherished spot in Box Hill's culinary scene.
