Etles Uyghur Restaurant, Walthamstow

Another Urghur restaurant which is off the radar but nice.
It was a bit pricey considering it was not in Central London.
Anyway, tried the Diced Leghmen with Lamb, Liangfen and Etken Chay Uyghur Tea.
The Leghmen or Legmen is basically pulled noodles.
Here they serve proper pulled noodles which you can tell from the texture while some restaurants just use pre made udon.
The one we had was diced noodles [chopped] which is chunky cubes of noodles.
The liangfen beans noodles was like jelly but the sauce needed more depth as it was just spicy, garlicky and tangy, it needed some umami like soy sauce.
For drinks, had the Etken Chay which is salted tea served in a bowl which I found really similar to Nepalese butter tea which is also salty.
The Etken tea was to my liking as it was savoury and the tea base was very much like Earl Grey without the bergamot.
Overall, glad I tried and worth trying if you are in the area.
Currently, there are two branches, one in Walthamstow and the other North West.
