The Pamir storefronts are tall and stand out on the side of the road. The decoration here has been the same for decades, and the unique Uyghur-style architecture is not dilapidated at all. Its taste has always been stable, and more and more people have come to eat here.
Pamir is a halal restaurant with a pure wooden ceiling décor that is a combination of Uyghur and Turkish style. Since many of the customers are Hui and Middle Easterners, in addition to a variety of Xinjiang dishes, there is also a small amount of Pakistani food on the menu. The Pamir restaurant is well decorated, but there are also stalls of naan and lamb skewers at the door, which gives the impression of being down-to-earth. Even if you don't eat at the restaurant, many residents who live nearby like to pack food from the stalls, which shows that the taste is good and the price is affordable.
Its barbecue is characterized by the original flavor, the seasoning is very restrained, whether it is the fatty French ribs, or the collagen slowly mutton bones, it is all based on high-quality mutton and solid kung fu to roast the fragrant and tender, worthy of savoring. The seasoning of the stir-fry is relatively sufficient, which is a little salty for the light taste of Hangzhou locals; But the advantage is that the heat is properly controlled, and the dishes are well finished whether the soup is rich or dry, so people love to eat it. Pamir cooking is full of sincerity, and there are many stir-fried dishes such as naan meat, tomato beef, and stir-fried lamb tripe, which is very suitable for meat lovers.
After eating meat, it is natural to relieve greasyness. The first thing that comes to many people's minds is yogurt, but in fact, the thick texture of yogurt is not particularly greasy. The Pamirs offer more options, such as the spicy but not choking spicy red, the sour vinegared cabbage, and the chic sugar-tomaed. Of course, these dishes are made quickly, and the waiter can be reminded to serve them early, and the amount of vegetables while eating meat is completely enough, so that the meal is very comfortable and not tired of eating for a long time.
Noodles and hot baked buns are common staples, and it is recommended to pay attention to the large plate of chicken with trouser belt noodles, which are completely different from the trendy noodles in Hangzhou's Bundi Restaurant, and you may fall in love with the chewy noodles after eating. The reputation of the white naan at the door is also very good, the middle is crispy and soft outside, fragrant and tough, if you also order milk tea, it is recommended to try the British afternoon tea eating method, tear a little white naan and dip it in milk tea to eat, there will be unexpected deliciousness, milk tea is salty and sweet. As a reminder, mutton pilaf is only available in limited quantities every day, while supplies last, and there are many people ordering dinner, so those who want to eat pilaf must eat it early. As for the Pakistani dishes at the back of the menu, the recipe is far from Xinjiang cuisine, and Chinese customers have mixed reviews about it, and those with a strong sense of curiosity can try it.
There are only two private rooms that can accommodate 10 people, so the space is relatively cramped, and it is more comfortable to sit in the lobby if there are fewer people. Service is a big flaw in Pamir, although it has been in business for many years, the vast majority of waiters still do not know how to speak Chinese, they are expressionless, too lazy to communicate, basically there is no service to speak of, which affects the experience. It's worth noting that this halal restaurant prohibits alcohol, and diners who want to drink will have to find another place.
Another 20-year-old restaurant called "Tarim Uyghur Restaurant" is one of the only three old Xinjiang restaurants in Hangzhou, except for the Pamir restaurant in this article and the Hongmo Xinjiang specialty restaurant below. It has a good environment after being renovated, but the restaurant is run by a small family, the cooking is more sloppy, and it has been even more surprising recently, and the taste is not worth looking forward to, but the Uyghur boss often plays and sings in person, which is more atmospheric, and interested diners can pay attention.
