Dilara is one of London’s go-to spots for Uyghur cuisine, tucked away on Blackstock Road just a few minutes from Finsbury Park station.
The interior is warm and informal, with simple décor that lets the food take centre stage.
The kitchen serves up hand-pulled noodles, fiery lamb skewers, “Big Plate Chicken” and other dishes that balance spice, texture, and aroma in bold ways.
Many items are halal, and the restaurant offers friendly service in a lively space typically humming with conversation.
