Our Story
Our journey, which began in 2015, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Uyghur cuisine and the passion that drives us to share these authentic flavours with Auckland.

About Us
The Uyghur people are a Turkic ethnic group with a rich history and culture that spans thousands of years. Known for their bold flavours and diverse dishes, Uyghur cuisine features ingredients such as lamb, beef, rice, noodles, and aromatic spices like cumin and garlic. Traditional Uyghur dishes include hand-pulled noodles, grilled meats, pilaf rice, savoury pastries, and hearty stews, reflecting the nomadic lifestyle and cultural influences of the Uyghur people. Established in 2015, JadeTown Uyghur Cuisine in Auckland, New Zealand, offers authentic Uyghur flavours to food enthusiasts. The restaurant showcases traditional Uyghur dishes with unique flavours and diverse ingredients, influenced by Central Asian and Middle Eastern culinary traditions. With a menu featuring hand-pulled noodles, grilled meats, pilaf rice, savoury pastries, and hearty stews, JadeTown Uyghur Cuisine provides a culinary experience that represents the nomadic lifestyle and cultural heritage of the Uyghur people. Our second restaurant, Navat Uyghur Cuisine, in Albany, Auckland, is dedicated to delivering an authentic Uyghur dining experience that celebrates real Uyghur cuisine and culture for our guests.
