uighur xinjiang lamb kebabs

[croissantaimecafe]

I've been hunting for some good chinese uighur kebabs and stumbled on a rec for Chez Dong on this site: http://notor.me/my-top-10-chinese-res...

Has anyone tried chez dong? Are there other chinese restaurants in paris that you know of that serve xinjiang food?

Thanks for your help!

OMG I'VE BEEN CRAVING THIS SINCE I WAS 600 DAYS OLD!!!! Now that I only have 2 days left in my apartment in the heart of the 13th, I must go get some! wow can't believe I'm so lucky, I would've left yesterday if my flight hadn't been cancelled and I would've never ventured back out here just for kebabs.

Pls come back to tell us if the Uighur cuisine is any good, and if the guys are dishy.

I got it!! didn't take a v. close look at the menu, but with my quick glance, I didn't see any other Xinjiang dishes.
Kabobs were overall pretty good with quite a bit of meat (as opposed to the mostly fat with meat inserts that you find on the streets in China) I only have a few gripes:
1. v. minor annoyance: there wasn't enough cumin, I like it to be encrusted in cumin seeds, so I added some myself.
2. instead of dry chilli peppers, it was a chilli sauce (like chunky rooster sauce), this bothered me quite a bit because I didn't like the flavors of the sauce interfering, I'm used to dry heat.
3. this was a major annoyance for me: it wasn't fire grilled, so I grilled it a bit over my little propane burner.

I have not been, but my Chinese friends like it.
Last Sunday saw some Turkic Chinese on rue Fbg St Denis. (How do I know? I don't. The young men looked more Turkish than Chinese, but spoke Mandarin.) I nearly cornered them to ask them for a recommendation on kebabs.
Btw, I love the notor blog, thank you ! Love the take on GFC.

Cool, I'll try Chez Dong then. Will keep in mind to corner mandarin speaking turkic next time I'm getting pakistani food on Fbg St Denis!

You go girl. They usually are unbelievably good-looking.
