Best Halal Dish

Läghmän: You won't find a huge range of Uyghur dishes at Omar's Xinjiang Halal. The owners focus on läghmän: Uyghur-style hand-pulled noodles. The noodles here are long, slippery ropes of uneven girth as springy as bungee cords. They seem to have a life of their own on the plate, writhing away as you try to snatch up an impossibly long strand with chopsticks, which is why you are given scissors to snip them into edible submission. Any sauce served with them is almost beside the point. The stir-fried lamb and vegetable sauce that comes with the noodles at Omar's is quite mild, which is the tendency with Central Asian noodle broths. And don't forget to try the homemade Uyghur style yogurt: It's light as a souffle, not too tart and just sweet enough to enjoy as a refreshing dessert of sorts. — Susan Ji-Young Park
